Overview
TankMaster HMI Software
Rosemount TankMaster is a powerful Windows-based Human Machine Interface (HMI) for complete tank
inventory management. It provides configuration, service, set-up, inventory, and custody transfer
functions for Rosemount Tank Gauging systems and other supported instruments.
TankMaster is designed to be used in the Microsoft
®
Windows environment providing easy access to
measurement data from your Local Area Network (LAN).
The TankMaster WinOpi program lets the operator monitor measured tank data. It includes alarm
handling, batch reports, automatic report handling, historical data sampling as well as inventory
calculations such as Volume, Observed Density and other parameters. A plant host computer can be
connected for further processing of data.
The TankMaster WinSetup program is a graphical user interface for installation, configuration and service
of devices in the Rosemount Tank Gauging system.
Rosemount 2460 System Hub
The Rosemount 2460 System Hub is a data concentrator that continuously polls and stores data from
field devices such as radar level gauges and temperature transmitters in a buffer memory. Whenever a
request for data is received, the system hub can immediately send data from the updated buffer memory
for a group of tanks.
Measured and calculated data from one or more tanks is communicated via the Rosemount 2410 Tank
Hub to the system hub buffer memory. Whenever a request is received, the system hub can immediately
send data from a group of tanks to a TankMaster PC, or a host.
The Rosemount 2460 can be used to connect devices from other vendors as well, such as Honeywell
®
Enraf and Whessoe.
The Rosemount 2460 has eight slots for communication interface boards. These boards can be
individually configured for communication with hosts or field devices. They can be ordered either for
TRL2, RS485, Enraf BPM or Whessoe 0-20 mA/RS485 communication. Two slots can also be configured
for RS232 communication.
One of the system hub’s three Ethernet ports is used for Modbus TCP connection to host systems. By
simply connecting the system hub to the existing LAN network, communication over Ethernet is
established.
The system hub can provide redundancy for critical operations, by using two identical devices. The
primary system hub is active and the other one is in passive mode. If the primary unit stops working
properly, the secondary unit is activated and a failure message is sent to TankMaster (or a DCS system).
