Manual IQ
For controls engineers and maintenance techs

Every manual. Every fault code.
One answer away.

Manual IQ is a private knowledge base for your PLC, drive, HMI, and robot manuals. Ask a question, get a cited answer with the exact page and section — not a guess.

No credit card required.

Built for the way manuals actually work

Generic chatbots fail on industrial PDFs because they miss the things that matter most: part numbers, error codes, and parameter tables. Manual IQ is designed around them.

Hybrid retrieval

Combines semantic search, keyword search, and exact-match on error codes and parameter numbers so 'AL.37' or 'CIP Error 114' actually finds the right page.

Cited every time

Every answer links back to the exact manual, section, and page — and a verifier checks the claims before we show them to you.

Safety-aware

Wiring, motion, and parameter-change questions trigger warnings, mandatory citations, and clarifying questions instead of guesses.

A library that knows your equipment

Upload manuals for the PLCs, drives, HMIs, and modules you actually run. Tag them with manufacturer, model, and revision. Searches stay scoped to the hardware in front of you.

  • Hierarchy-aware chunking that preserves sections and tables
  • Exact-match indexing for error codes, parameters, and part numbers
  • Inline PDF viewer that jumps to the cited page
  • Per-workspace privacy — your SOPs and manuals stay yours
Question
What does CIP error 114 mean on the Mitsubishi EIP4CCPU?
Answer

Error 114 indicates a Vendor ID / Product Code mismatch between the configured device profile and the actual EtherNet/IP device. Verify the EDS file, confirm Vendor ID and Product Code, re-register the device in the network configuration, and download the updated configuration to the PLC.
