Parker releases new software tool for IQAN module maintenance

Specific features of the IQANgo tool include a system overview that allows users to find module or I/O-related alarms or errors quickly. Meanwhile, a remote assistance function means smartphones can act as a "modem' to connect IQAN machines to the Internet, allowing remote personnel to perform operations such as fault finding, software updates and calibration. The new app also allows users to view all logs and their content, with a filter function providing quick access to relevant information. A measure function delivers a more powerful tool for troubleshooting, or to view the value on a specific input, output or internal channel. All measured values are presented with their corresponding unit and status, or in a more visual format such as a line graph. Further, IQANgo comes with a function for adjusting inputs, outputs and parameters in real time. It is also possible to take a setting back to its factory default value if required.

Parker Hannifin product manager Johan Lid©n comments: "IQANgo is a powerful and intuitive platform that gives service technicians or machine owners instant access to real-time information, allowing them to work more flexibly and productively. This actionable insight drives more informed decision-making around service and maintenance activities, which in turn improves equipment performance, saving both time and money".

IQANgo replaces previous Android/iOS apps - specifically IQANrun for tablets and IQANsync for smartphones. It is available on Google Play and Apple App Store as a free app. Go to www.parker.com/uk for further information.
