Overview
Automated Device Management, Monitoring, and Control
The IntelliBox with EventTrak technology enables you to automate tasks related to your
industrial and commercial equipment that normally require human input or intervention.
Devices typically require manual monitoring and control, necessitating users to
periodically check the device or wait for critical equipment failure before taking action.
You can configure the IntelliBox to monitor equipment and respond to events
automatically. Upon detecting an event, the IntelliBox fixes a problem before it becomes
an emergency and sends an email to the designated user indicating that the IntelliBox
proactively discovered and fixed the problem.
Automated Reporting
The IntelliBox consolidates monitoring and reporting of devices, enabling you to automate
data capture. Previously, you had to query and review the output of each device
separately. With the IntelliBox's easy-to-use web-based interface, you configure the
IntelliBox to query the attached devices at configurable intervals and gather the data
returned. Users receive data from the attached equipment by email or RSS feed so they
can review the data at their leisure or monitor hundreds of devices aggregated on a
single page of an RSS client application or RSS-enabled web browser.
With EventTrak’s automated monitoring and control functionality, the IntelliBox scans
incoming data for specific information, and when it detects that information, takes specific
actions, including flagging the email being sent as “important.” Thus users reviewing
reports from many devices avoid sifting through hundreds of emails and focus on the
flagged emails.
Examples
Following are examples of how the IntelliBox with EventTrak can be used.
Industrial
Industrial automation and building automation can use the digital I/O and serial port
hardware on the IntelliBox. As there are hundreds of different types of digital sensors,
there are also hundreds of different applications for which the IntelliBox can be used.
Typical events that the IntelliBox detects include triggers from specific sensors connected
to the IntelliBox’s digital inputs and user-specified data detected on the IntelliBox’s serial
ports. Following are some examples.
