Intelli-Connect™ Mobile, from Columbus McKinnon, enables quick and easy programming, maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting of your crane system. Advanced diagnostic capabilities provide critical information, such as signal monitors, run trending data, equipment usage history, and event history. By incorporating this technology into your overhead crane or hoist, you can proactively monitor and schedule maintenance to ensure you have the necessary parts and support available when you need it. And, if your system does go down unexpectedly, Intelli-Connect™ Mobile can help reduce your mean time to recover (MTTR). With instant access to user manuals available through the app, operators can easily reference system setup and corrective action steps to get equipment back up and running quickly. Using Intelli-Connect™ Mobile, you can monitor and troubleshoot a Magnetek variable frequency drive (VFD) right from the plant floor. Intelli-Connect™ Mobile wirelessly connects to crane equipment located 20-100 feet in the air, allowing you to safely and quickly get an overview of your system’s operation. You no longer need to power down, climb up to the drive, and connect hardware to access drive information, thus eliminating potentially hazardous situations. Features: - Easy Setup and Installation - Access to the latest user manuals and quick start guides - Parameter configuration via Quick Settings - Parameter configuration via Keypad Emulation - Ability to store and retrieve Parameter sets (compatible with Impulse Link 5) - Live Monitoring of VFD operation - Fault and Alarm Status, Description, and Corrective Action Steps - Quickly recover from faults with built in Fault Reset button - Record installation date for reference - Access to technical support information - Secure Wi-Fi connection and ability to customize network name and password Advanced Features: - Event History: Comprehensive data logs during fault, alarm, and run events.
