Tankvision Application

3Application

3.1 Inventory control

By using Tankvision to monitor the tank level and stored volume of valuable liquids remotely, owners or operators of tank farms or terminals for petroleum products and chemicals (liquids) can visualize the volumes or mass of the stored medium in real time. The data can be used to plan the inventory and distribution. The data can also be used to manage tank farm operations like pumping or transferring products. Tankvision has its unique concept using network technology. Without using proprietary software, the users can visualize and manage their valuable liquids stored in the tanks by a web browser. Tankvision is a flexible and cost effective solution due to its scalable architecture. The application coverage goes from small depots with only a few tanks up to refineries.

3.2 Application areas

• Tank farms in refineries

• Ship loading terminals

• Marketing and distribution terminals

• Pipeline terminals

• Logistic terminals for tanks storing products like crude oils, refined white and black products, chemicals, LPGs, fuels, biofuels, alcohols

PC recommendations Tankvision

5PC recommendations

5.1 PC connection for viewing data

Tankvision Tank Scanner NXA820, Tankvision Data Concentrator NXA821 and Tankvision Host Link NXA822 are providing a web server to view and enter data or perform configurations. Viewing the pages requires a web browser and JAVA runtime installed on a PC. PC and the Tankvision components must be connected within the same Local Area Network (LAN) consisting out of Ethernet lines, switches and/or routers.

HUBs shall not be used. In secured systems e.g. for W&M purposes, routers cannot be used. If company policies allow a remote connection into the LAN also enables a remote connection to Tankvision components.

5.1.1 Recommendations PC configuration

With all on the market available web browser entering the Tankvision web server is possible. Nevertheless the pages are optimized for Microsoft Internet Explorer (supported version IE9, IE10 and IE11 – Compatibility Mode). The user interface pages are optimized for a screen resolution of 1280x1024 (or higher).

5.2 Recommendations when using OPC Server, Printer Agent or Alarm Agent

• Windows XP 32 Bit Service Pack 3, Windows 7 32 Bit or Windows 7 64 Bit

• Java 8 or higher

5.3 Alternations from the recommendations

Alternations to the recommendations in the previous chapters might have influences on the proper behaviour of the system especially when communication ports are used by other programs (e.g. other OPC servers). In case of uncertainty consult Endress+Hauser.

6.1.1 Communication variants

Field instruments or other slave devices are connected to the Tankvision Tank Scanner NXA820. The unit is available in 3 communication versions.

• Modbus RTU RS485 According to "Modbus over serial line specification and implementation guide V1.02" published by the Modbus-IDA organization (www.modbus.org) and based upon the EIA/ TIA-485-A physical layer specification.

Characteristic impedance 135 to 165 Ω at measuring frequency of 3 to 20 MHz

Cable capacitance ≤ 30 pF/m

Core cross-section ≥ 0.34 mm² (AWG 22) multi-strand cable is preferred

Cable type Single twisted pair + third conductor (for common) or

Cable resistance ≤ 110 Ω /km

Signal damping Max. 9 dB over the entire length of the cable cross-section

Shielding Copper braided shielding or combined foil and braided shielding

Dual twisted pair (common uses second pair with wire joined together)

• Sakura V1 V1 fieldbus is a voltage mode digital communication using up to ±30 VDC.

Cable capacitance ≤ 50 nF/m

Core cross-section ≥ 0.9 mm² (AWG 17) multi-strand cable is preferred
