Tank Gate Interface

Installation and Operations Manual

Application

The COM point controls the operation of Host and Slave communications. The Baud Rate, 

Communications Parameters and Protocol may be changed by assigning values to the 

appropriate parameter. Each Com port is independent of the other and completely flexible in its 

use.

For example, you may configure the system to communicate with a single host redundantly 

using the same protocol. Alternatively, the 8300 series Tank Gate Interface can communicate to 

different hosts using different protocols, allowing the 8300 series Tank Gate Interface to act as 

BaudRate

Baud Rate for communications to either the Host or Slave system. Valid 

values are: 1200, 2400, 2400, 9600, 19200. Changing the BaudRate 

parameter will immediately change the configuration of the ComPort.
The default is 9600.

ComParams

Defines the number of data bits and the parity used by the com port.
Examples include:
8O - 8 Data Bits Odd Parity
8E - 8 Data Bits, Even Parity
8N - 8 Data Bits, No Parity
7O - 7 Data Bits, Odd Parity
7E - 7 Data Bits, Even Parity
7N - 7 Data Bits, No Parity
TI - TIWAY
The default is ‘8N’.

TimeOut

Time in seconds that indicates a time-out of communications. If no Host or 

Slave communications is received for the length of time specified by the 

TimeOut, the CommStatus parameter will indicate Off Line and 

communications failure processing will take place.

ErrCheck

Error checking used by the protocol. Valid values are:
LRC - Longitudinal Redundancy Check
CRC - Cyclical Redundancy Check

RespDelay

Time in milliseconds for which the 8303 TGI will delay a response to the 

Host. The default is 50 msec.

SynchMax

The SynchMax is used by some slave protocols for autosynchronization of 

the BaudRate. The SynchMax is used to determine if the BaudRate is 

correct. If the SynchMax is zero, then no synchronization is attempted.

DirectPort

The DirectPort is used then the Protocol is set to Direct.

Dynamic Parameters

Function

CommStatus

Coded variable indicating the On-line/Offline status of the COM point.

State

Current state of the message being sent/received.

Command

Current command being processed.

Status

Status if the last message.

CommErrors

The number of communication errors.

NumTrans

The number of transactions.

Elapse

Time of the last Change of State.

PntCheckSum

CRC-16 Checksum of point's static Configuration Parameters.
