2.4System overview
The Rosemount Tank Gauging system is a state-of-the art inventory and custody transfer
radar tank level gauging system. It is developed for a wide range of applications at
refineries, tank farms and fuel depots, and fulfills the highest requirements on
performance and safety.
The field devices on the tank communicate over the intrinsically safe Tankbus. The
Tankbus is based on a standardized fieldbus, the FISCO
integration of any device supporting that protocol. By utilizing a bus powered 2-wire
intrinsically safe fieldbus the power consumption is minimized. The standardized fieldbus
also enables integration of other vendors’ equipment on the tank.
The Rosemount Tank Gauging product portfolio includes a wide range of components to
build small or large customized tank gauging systems. The system includes various
devices, such as radar level gauges, temperature transmitters, and pressure transmitters
for complete inventory control. Such systems are easily expanded thanks to the modular
design.
The Rosemount Tank Gauging system is a versatile system that is compatible with and can
emulate all major tank gauging systems. Moreover, the well-proven emulation capability
enables step-by-step modernization of a tank farm, from level gauges to control room
solutions.
It is possible to replace old mechanical or servo gauges with modern Rosemount Tank
Gauging devices, without replacing the control system or field cabling. It is further
possible to replace old HMI/SCADA-systems and field communication devices without
replacing the old gauges.
There is a distributed intelligence in the various system units which continuously collect
and process measurement data and status information. When a request for information is
received an immediate response is sent with updated information.
The flexible Rosemount Tank Gauging system supports several combinations to achieve
redundancy, from control room to the different field devices. Redundant network
configuration can be achieved at all levels by doubling each unit and using multiple control
room work stations.

Reference Manual
2.4.1TankMaster 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
26Reference Manual

Power supply
The Rosemount 2460 System Hub accepts supply voltage 100 - 250 Vac (50/60 Hz) and 24
- 48 Vdc.
Note
The Rosemount 2460 is polarity insensitive for DC voltage input.
Cable selection for power supply
Appropriate cross sectional area of wires must be used in order to prevent a high voltage
drop to the connected device. Recommended cable size is 0.75 mm2 to 2.1 mm2 (18 AWG
to 14 AWG) in order to minimize the voltage drop.
Grounding
The housing should always be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical
codes. Failure to do so may impair the protection provided by the equipment. The most
effective grounding method is direct connection to earth ground with minimal
impedance.
There is a grounding screw on the housing which is identified by ground symbol .
Inside the Rosemount 2460’s terminal compartment there is a ground bar with screw
connections identified by ground symbols . The ground bar shall only be used for
connecting signal related ground wires, e.g. shield ground connections from the field bus

3.5.6Cabling for the TRL2/RS485 Bus
In a Rosemount Tank Gauging system a Rosemount 2460 System Hub communicates with
a TankMaster control room PC using the TRL2/RS485 Modbus® protocol.
TRL2 Bus
The TRL2 bus requires twisted and shielded pair wiring with a minimum cross-sectional
area of 0.50 mm2 (AWG 20 or similar). The maximum length of the TRL2 bus is
approximately 4 km /13000 ft. The TRL2 field bus can normally use existing cables in the
tank area.
Cable cross-sectional area for the TRL2 wiring should follow the recommendations in Table
3-1.
Table 3-1: Minimum Cable Area for the TRL2 Bus

Note
Wherever two or more TRL2 buses run alongside each other, sharing the same cable or
conduit tube, use twisted and shielded wire and ensure that each pair of bus wires is
individually shielded in order to avoid crosstalk.
Table 3-2 shows typical cable types that can be used for connecting the TRL2 bus. Other
cables of similar type may also be used.

3.5.7Connecting to a Rosemount 2460 System Hub
There are several ways to connect a Rosemount 2460 System Hub to a host system:
• from a Host Port using TRL2 bus
• from a Host Port using RS232 or RS485
• via Ethernet Eth1 port
The TRL2 Bus requires a twisted and shielded pair cable with a cross-sectional area of 0.50
to 2.5 mm2 (20 to 14 AWG). A Rosemount 2180 Field Bus Modem (FBM) is used to connect
the system hub to TankMaster or other host computer.
A service PC can be connected to the Ethernet Eth3 port for configuration and
maintenance.
For RS232 communication, wiring cross-sectional area must be at least 0.25 mm2 (24
AWG or similar). The typical maximum length of the RS232 connection is 30 m at baud
rate 4800.

4.3.2Installation procedure
Installation of a Rosemount 2460 System Hub in a Rosemount Tank Gauging system
includes the following basic steps:
Procedure
1. Ensure that a plan is available for all tanks and devices with tag names,
communication addresses, number of temperature elements and other data that is
needed for a system setup.
2. In case devices from other vendors will be connected to the field ports, ensure that
appropriate modem cards are installed which support the communication
protocols. Also, check that the system hub’s firmware supports the modem cards
and protocols. TankMaster 6.C0 and higher is required for configuration of system
hub with Enraf® support. See Specifications and reference data for information on
supported electrical interfaces and protocols. See also Exchanging a modem card.
3. Make sure that the Rosemount 2460 is properly wired and up and running. Check
that the Power LED is on and the Status LED indicates normal operation (see Table
5-3).
4. (Redundancy). Make sure that the two system hubs are properly wired as described
in Wiring. See also Figure 3-18.
Note
Note that configuration of redundant Rosemount 2460 is supported by TankMaster
6.D0 and higher versions.
5. Ensure that the TankMaster WinSetup configuration program is up and running.
6. In TankMaster WinSetup, setup the appropriate protocol channel
(4)
in the
TankMaster host PC. This step will ensure that communication between the
TankMaster PC and the Rosemount 2460 is established.
7. In TankMaster WinSetup, start the device installation wizard and configure the
system hub as described in Installation wizard:
a) Specify device type (2460) and name tag.
b) Check that the correct communication channel is enabled and verify
communication with the TankMaster host computer.
c) Verify that the Host ports and Field ports are using the right protocols for
communication with TankMaster work stations or other host systems, and
with field devices such as the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub and the Rosemount
5900S Radar Level Gauge.
d) Configure the tank database. See configuration examples that illustrate how
the tank databases of the Rosemount 2460 and the Rosemount 2410 are
related to each other in Tank databases of the Rosemount 2460 and the

Rosemount 2460 System Hub is connected to a host system that requires manual port
configuration. Then you can configure protocol and communication parameters to match
the requirements for the host. Non-standard settings may also be needed in case field
devices connected to different field ports use different communication parameters such
as baud rate. Then each port can be configured independently from the other ports.
Non-standard settings may also be required in case the system hub is located far away
from the host since maximum communication speed for RS232 and RS485 depends on
the cable length.
Some emulation protocols use the same type of modem card. Therefore, you may need to
specify communication protocol and configure parameters for the particular protocol to
be used.

field ports
For Field Ports the Reply timeout and Number of retries parameters
can be adjusted in case a connected field device responds slowly to
queries from the Rosemount 2460. The default setting is sufficient in
most cases.
For Host Ports the Min response time and Max response time define
the time slot in which a response from the Rosemount 2460 will be sent
to a host system. If needed, you may change these parameters to
match the requirements for a particular host system.
For field ports a delay time between receive and transmit messages can
be used for devices that need more time to get ready to receive the
next query e.g. TIC devices.
In case of cross talks between field port buses, it is possible to configure
affected ports to be silent while communication is ongoing on a port in
single port mode. For the configuration to have an effect, two or more
field ports must be enabled for Single Port Mode. If all field ports are
enabled for Single Port Mode, no concurrent communication among
the field ports can occur at all. This configuration has no effect if the
Port is configured for host mode which is an option for ports 5 and 6.
The Redundant Field Ports functionality is supported for TRL2 and
RS485 interface and requires license for redundant system hubs. Two
field ports can be configured in a redundant primary/backup pair. If the
primary port has communication problems, the backup port will take
over after a number of retries.
Status of the passive port is checked at regular intervals. A switch over
to backup port will only take place if status of the backup port is OK. If
the backup port is active, and primary port status is back to normal, a
switch over will take place once the status check is done.
Redundant field ports can be used with redundant Rosemount 2460
System Hubs.
(5) Some modems must be configured with DIP switches.

Step 4. Configure the tank database
The tank database of the Rosemount 2460 System Hub ensures that the system hub
requests information from all the connected field devices.
Procedure
1. Find a free tank position (2460 Tank 1, 2, 3...) for the device to be configured.
70Reference Manual
Reference ManualConfiguration
00809-0100-2460September 2021
2. Select the appropriate Source device.
For a Rosemount Tank Gauging system this is typically a Rosemount 2410 Tank
Hub. The Rosemount 2460 System Hub also supports many other Rosemount Tank
Gauging devices as well as devices from other vendors.
3. Select the Field Port that the device is connected to.
In the standard configuration there are six field bus ports available for a Rosemount
2460 System Hub. The TRL2 bus is the standard field bus interface.
4. Enter the 2410 Device Address for each Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub that is
connected to the system hub.
Note
Note that for 2410 Tank Position 1 the same address will be used for the
temperature device and the tank hub itself. This is handled automatically by
TankMaster.
5. Enter the appropriate 2410 Tank Position.
All field devices on a certain tank are associated with the same position in the
Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub’s tank database. For a Rosemount 2410 connected to a
single tank, all field devices are configured in Tank Position 1.
Use Tank Position 2-10 for the multiple tanks version of the Rosemount 2410 Tank
Hub. It has a database with 10 tank positions that allows the tank hub to serve up to
ten tanks. Each row in the tank database of the Rosemount 2460 System Hub
corresponds to a tank position in the database of the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub.
Important
The Tank Database of the Rosemount 2460 System Hub must be properly
configured to match the tank databases of all Rosemount 2410 Tank Hubs
connected to the system hub.
6. Enter Level Device Address for devices such as the Rosemount 5900 Radar Level
Gauge and other level gauges supported by the Rosemount 2460 System Hub and
the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub.
7. In case the level gauge is a Rosemount 5900S 2-in-1 version, you will need to
configure two level device addresses.
See the Rosemount Tank Gauging System Configuration Manual (Document No.
00809-0300-5100) for a detailed description of how to configure the tank database
for a Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge 2-in-1 version.
Rosemount 2460 System Hub71
ConfigurationReference Manual
September 202100809-0100-2460
8. Enter the Temperature Device Address.
For “2410 tank position” 1 the same address is used for the Rosemount 2410 Tank
Hub and the temperature device. The tank hub’s address is automatically copied to
the Temperature Device Address field.
For “2410 Tank Position” 2 to 10 you will have to enter the same temperature
device addresses as configured in the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub’s tank database.
Each tank position must have a unique address.
Note
The Temp Device Address in the Rosemount 2460’s tank database is referred to as
the ATD Modbus Address in the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub’s tank database.
9. Enter the number of elements in the Number of Temperature Elements column in
case temperature elements are installed in the tank.
The position of the temperature elements need to be configured to allow
calculation of average product temperature. This is normally done as part of the
standard installation procedure for the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub and the
associated temperature transmitters as described in the Rosemount Tank Gauging
System Configuration Manual (Document no. 00809-0300-5100).
10. Select the Auxiliary Inputs that are used for the device such as Free Water Level
(FWL), Vapor Pressure (VP), and Liquid Pressure (LP).
11. In the Relays column, select 2410 if a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub with relay output
is connected to the Rosemount 2460 System Hub. Then the 2460 input registers
will be continuously updated with current status of the 2410 relay outputs. Leave
empty if no relays are used.
Note
Ensure that the Tank Database is properly verified before proceeding. Check all
addresses and parameters for each tank and source device.

Tank databases of the Rosemount 2460 and the
Rosemount 2410
In a typical Rosemount Tank Gauging system, a Rosemount 2460 System Hub collects
measurement data from a number of tanks via one or more Rosemount 2410 Tank Hubs.
For proper communication with the control room PC and the Rosemount TankMaster
operator’s interface, Modbus addresses need to be assigned to the field devices on the
tank. These addresses are stored in the system hub’s and tank hub’s tank databases.
Rosemount 2460 System Hub81
ConfigurationReference Manual
September 202100809-0100-2460
In the tank hub’s database, the Rosemount 2240S Temperature Transmitter and the
Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display (and other non-level devices) are handled as a
single Auxiliary Tank Device (ATD). Two Modbus addresses are used for each tank, one for
the level gauge and one for the ATD.
The ATD includes any supported non-level device such as the Rosemount 2240S MultiInput Temperature Transmitter and the Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display. Other
devices such as the Rosemount 3051S Pressure Transmitter may also be included in the
ATD. The ATD address represents all these devices. Each position in the Rosemount 2460
tank database represents one tank.
In case the level gauge is a Rosemount 5900S 2-in-1, you will need to configure two level
device addresses for the Rosemount 5900S gauge. See the Rosemount Tank Gauging
System Configuration Manual (Document No. 00809-0300-5100) for a detailed
description of how to configure the tank database with a Rosemount 5900S 2-in-1.
One Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub for each tank
In this example a Rosemount 2460 System Hub is connected to two tanks, each of which
has a separate Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub.
Each tank has a Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge, a Rosemount 2240S Multi-Input
Temperature Transmitter, and a Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display. The Modbus
address configuration is summarized in Table 4-14.

Hub that serves three tanks. The temperature device on tank 1 has the same Modbus
address as the tank hub itself. The other temperature devices on tank 2 and 3 have
separate Modbus addresses.
Figure 4-7 shows an example of a system with a Rosemount 2460 System Hub connected
to a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub. The Rosemount 2410 collects measurement data from
three tanks. Each tank is equipped with a Rosemount 5408 Radar Level Transmitter, a
Rosemount 2240S Temperature Transmitter, and a Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field
Display. The Modbus address configuration is summarized in Table 4-15.

Individual Modbus address
By setting individual Modbus addresses for the Primary and Backup devices, a host system
may communicate with each device separately. This is useful, for example, for verifying
the current status of each device.
Minimum Polling Interval
If the host system uses a longer poll interval in the communication than the configured
value, the system will report error.
Entry fields for Host Ports 5 and 6 will only be enabled if the ports are configured as host
ports. Entry fields for Modbus TCP will only be enabled if Modbus TCP license option is

Maximum number of fail-overs per hour in order to
prevent an oscillating behavior i.e. switching back

case fail-overs tend to occur frequently, the reason
behind should be investigated and fixed.
Take-over criteria
There may be situations when you would like the passive device to take over as the active
device even if no fail-over criteria is fulfilled. For example, in case the active device does
not respond to Host requests, the passive device may take over and become the active
device. The Active doesn’t reply on Host port option does not work if the Primary and
Backup system hubs are wired to separate host ports which is the case when, for example,
using the RS232 communication interface.
Passive device communication
In case the Primary and Backup system hubs are connected to different ports on the host
system, the same Modbus address can be used for communication with the two system
hubs. Then there is no need to use individual Modbus addresses for the Primary and
Backup devices. When communicating with a host system via RS232 interface, separate
host ports must be used, and the Allow Passive device to reply on common Modbusaddress option needs to be enabled.
