INTRODUCTION
ENTIS is a unique Tank Inventory Management System developed for Windows
10 Enterprise, and powered by the Experion platform, to display Tank inventory
data.
Real Time Inventory
ENTIS is a Windows 10 Enterprise application. Data is retrieved via dedicated
Communication Interface Units (CIU’s) and processed through to the open ENTIS
database. Various displays are available for inventory management. These
displays include bar graphs, tabular data, iconized tanks, and a whole range of
modules such as trending, report printing, and a “what if” tank calculator.
Numerical & Graphical Display
The graphical displays provide a quick overview of tank data. The numerical
displays can be customized to suit your own particular needs. These displays can
be either tank or group related. Several graphical displays are also available, and
tank images can be customized per tank if required.
Networking
The network facilities of the Experion system allow you to integrate ENTIS into
your plant’s networks.
Alarm System
ENTIS provides you with an array of programmable alarm set points. Privileged
users can create their own alarms for all measured and calculated data. During
inactive periods, tanks can be put into a leak detection mode. Alarms and
acknowledgements, together with all tank information, are stored and recorded for
future review and traceability.
Hot Standby & CIU Redundancy Support
The ENTIS system can be enhanced for use in critical applications with hot
standby and CIU redundancy support. CIU redundancy support can cover the
unlikely event of a network failure, providing sustained and reliable data to your
management system. After the occurrence of an error, the second CIU will
automatically start and take over the lost functionality. Following the switch over,
all gauge data will be rescanned and recalculated to ensure data reliability.
ETDOC-X615–R121.1 ENTIS R121.1 User’s Manual 1
ENTIS Redundancy Support
The ENTIS system can now be used in a redundant server mode, with automatic
failover capabilities.
Dual Gauges Support
ENTIS can now work with the CIU to support dual gauge systems, allowing for
two product levels to be used to generate a difference alarm.
954 Servo Test Alarm Support
ENTIS can be used to generate test alarms for the 954 servo.
50 Point Density Profile Support
ENTIS can now work with the 954 servo to support 50 point density profiles.
Reporting Enhancements
ENTIS reporitng now allows for the use of customized customer name, sites and
logos, on the standard and Legal Metrology-approved report set.
ENTIS license now gives you the option to start with 5, 10, 15, 20, …310, 315,
320...400 tanks.
ENTIS Language Support
ENTIS now supports either of English, French, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Spanish
or Russian language. ENTIS will appear in the language as being set at
commissioning. User with Admin rights can change the language of ENTIS when
required. Experion menu items are available in English, French, Italian, Dutch,
Chinese, Spanish or Russian language.
Refer the instructions provided in section 6.1 of
Guide for changing the languag e.
Experion Alarms & Events Screen Language Support
ENTIS now allows user to view the alarm and event description in either of
English, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish language.

Tank hooks to address a specific tank from Experion
From ENTIS it is possible to see the tank details of a specific tank by selecting
the “Tank Detail” screen and by selecting the required tank.In some cases it is
very useful to have a direct link to the tank “Tank Detail” screen and the selected
tank.For example when you have a HMIWeb page in Experion and you want to
link the tank details from this page.
%HwProgramData%\Experion
PKS\Client\MenusAndToolbars\EntisHTML\Entis.HTML?tab=tank-details\T111
In case of linking anther tank instead of T111 you need to replace the tank name
at the end of the link.
The part between the brackets below needs to be replaced with the tan k name:
%HwProgramData%\Experion
PKS\Client\MenusAndToolbars\EntisHTML\Entis.HTML?tab=tankdetails\[TankName]
To test the link in Experion Station you can execute the link in the Experion
“Command” bar.

INTERFACE GUIDELINES
The ENTIS user interface consists of a set of inter-related graphical objects
together with a set of rules governing their deployment, such as windows, dialog
boxes, task icons, colours and others.
Although ENTIS is a Windows application, there are certain additional
conventions used in ENTIS that will be described in this chapter. This chapter
also describes a basic set of rules to help the user learn how to use ENTIS
Help
ENTIS supports the displaying of the PDF of the User’s Manual. Navigating to the
Help menu item will open the pdf version of the ENTIS User’s Manual.
Data Status
Measured and calculated data is indicated by a status sign.
The statuses are shown in the following table:

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
General Guidelines
ENTIS runs on the Experion HS platform; therefore, Experion’s security
guidelines / recommendations should be followed in any ENTIS deployment.
Experion HS provides a comprehensive Network and Security Guide (ID:
EHDOC-XX75-en-510A) that should be reviewed prior to an ENTIS deployment.
It contains numerous guidelines to help ensure a secure deployment.
In addition to the information provided in that manual, this section provides some
additional security-related details.
This information is ENTIS-specific and is meant only to augment the Experion
documentation.
Signed Assemblies
Digitally signing files allows users to confirm that those files were provided by
Honeywell.
Honeywell has digitally signed the assemblies that it provides with ENTIS. Note
that this does not include third-party assemblies that are not maintained as a part
of the ENTIS product line.
Users can confirm that their ENTIS assemblies are signed by bringing up the
assembly properties via Windows Explorer.
Users can check for signing by right-clicking on the dll/exe, and selecting
Properties from the context menu.
If the ensuing dialog has a Digital Signatures tab, and there is a “Honeywell
Limited” signer listed, then your assembly has been properly signed by
Honeywell.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
User Accounts and Roles
User roles define the set of operations that a user is allowed to perform. ENTIS
leverages the Experion platform and its user roles. For information on the roles,
please refer to the “User accounts and Experion user roles” section in the
Network and Security Guide (ID: EHDOC-XX75-en-510A). Note that the Legal
Metrology user roles are ENTIS specific and explained in more detail in the
ENTIS Sealing guide.
Physical and Environmental Considerations
While the security issues for ENTIS on Experion are largely the same as for any
IT server, the physical access of a tank information system can be particularly
important. For physical and environmental considerations, please see the
Physical and Environmental Considerations section in the Network and Security
Guide (ID: EHDOC-XX75-en-510A).
System Monitoring
ENTIS and Experion provide a number of ways to detect potential evidence of
intrusion. The System Monitoring section of the Network and Security Guide (ID:
EHDOC-XX75-en-510A) provides details on this subject. In addition to the information
in that guide, it should be added that ENTIS wll write events into the ENTIS event log,
which is available through the Windows event viewer.
Vulnerability Reporting
In the previously mentioned Network and Security Guide (ID: EHDOC-XX75-en510A), please refer to the section titled “How to report a security vulnerability” for
information pertaining to reporting potential security vulnerabilities against
Honeywell products.

The display presents Tank data in a tabular format. The data
displayed on the grid depends on the selected view. Both values and if applicable - statuses, are displayed. Clicking the mouse on the
column header will sort the selected column. Multi column sorting is
available by holding the Shift button and selecting multiple column
headers. A blue line on the column header will indicate that it is
sorted, with the blue line position indicating if the sort is ascending
(top) or descending (bottom).
A user definable number of columns, measured from the first column,
can be identified as fixed columns. Fixed columns do not scroll
horizontally. The user can select the number of rows they want to
view on a page and toggle between them via ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’
buttons.
The user can also filter the rows by using ‘Filter’ button where they
can select the column where filter should be applied and set the

PROFILES
The pr i mary Pr ofiles usage is to create profiles for a selected tank and to
show a graphical display of the density and/or temperature variation of the
product in a tank.
The user has a number of options to generate profiles such as:
Density profile:
Used to measure the observed density.
The 854 or 954 servo gauge is commanded to start a density measurement.
The density measurement moves the displacer through the product in the
tank, and determines the density at 10 equidistant points if a 854 gauge is
connected, and up to 50 equidistant points if a 954 gauge is connected.
Temperature profile:
VITO probe connected to Radar or servo gauges will allow user to have
temperature profiles on ENTIS, Number of temperature points configured in
VITO associated at different level’s will decide Average temperature in profile
graph
Density and temperature profile:
Determines a density and temperature profile for different product types in
the tank.
Combined profile:
Measures the water interface, and determines a density profile.
Combined profile (Incl. Temperature)
Measures the water interface and determines a density and temperature
profile.
Interface Profile
An Interface profile command starts a density measurement between two
specified levels.
The interface profile measurement moves the displacer through the product
in the tank and determines the density at 10 equidistant points if an 854
gauge is connected, and up to 50 equidistant points if the 954 gauge is
connected between the two specified levels.

ALARMS
Age Alarms
The system periodically checks the tank record time stamps against the
system clock. If the difference exceeds a predefined value, an AGE alarm
is generated. Aging values are checked on a per tank basis, so AAL’s are
generated for each tank separately.
Foreground
A foreground age alarm is generated
Background
A background age alarm is generated
Deviation Alarms
The deviation alarm is an alarm that will be raised when Product level 1
and Product Level 2 on a tank deviates from each other. The deviation
alarm is only applicable on tanks with dual gauges. With the switch on the
Alarm Setting display, you can enable or disable the deviation alarm for all
tanks that have dual gauges.
Difference value
The difference value is the absolute value difference between Product
Level 1 and Product Level 2. The difference alarm will only occur if both
gauges are measuring level, and are not in a failed state.
