2.4.1 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.
Rosemount TankMaster is designed to be used in the Microsoft
®
Windows environment
providing easy access to measurement data from your Local Area Network (LAN).
The Rosemount 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 Rosemount TankMaster WinSetup program is a graphical user interface for
installation, configuration and service of devices in the Rosemount Tank Gauging system.
2.4.2 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).
2.4.3 Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub
The Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub acts as a power supply to the connected field devices in
the hazardous area using the intrinsically safe Tankbus.
The tank hub collects measurement data and status information from field devices on a
tank. It has two external buses for communication with various host systems.
