2 Overview

2.1 Introduction

The Rosemount™ 5900S is a two-wire radar level gauge for high accuracy non-contact measurements. The level gauge continuously emits a radar signal with varying frequency towards the product surface. This allows very accurate level measurements by processing the difference between the frequencies of the emitted and received radar signals.
The Rosemount 5900S is an integral part of the flexible Rosemount Tank Gauging system. The advanced and robust design makes it suitable for a vast range of applications. It is designed for high accuracy level measurements as well as handling complex tank shapes and obstacles in the tank that may interfere with measurement signals.

2.5 System 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.

Overview

2.5.1 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.
2.5.2

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).
2.5.3
Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge 21

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.

Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge

The Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge is an intelligent instrument for measuring the product level inside a tank. Different antennas can be used in order to meet the requirements of different applications. The Rosemount 5900S can measure the level of almost any product, including bitumen, crude oil, refined products, aggressive chemicals, LPG and LNG.
The Rosemount 5900S sends microwaves towards the surface of the product in the tank. The level is calculated based on the echo from the surface. No part of the Rosemount 5900S is in actual contact with the product in the tank, and the antenna is the only part of the gauge that is exposed to the tank atmosphere.
The 2-in-1 version of the Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge has two radar modules in the same transmitter housing allowing two independent level measurements using one antenna and one tank opening.

Rosemount 5300 Guided Wave Radar

The Rosemount 5300 is a premium 2-wire guided wave radar for level measurements on liquids, to be used in a wide range of medium accuracy applications under various tank conditions. Rosemount 5300 includes the Rosemount 5301 for liquid level measurements and the Rosemount 5302 for liquid level and interface measurements.

Rosemount 5408 Radar Level Transmitter

The Rosemount 5408 is a non-contacting level transmitter for accurate and reliable level measurement on small storage and buffer tanks.
The Rosemount 5408 provides accurate and reliable level measurements for metallic and non-metallic vessels. It is suitable for almost any liquid and is ideal for challenging applications with agitators, foam, high temperatures, and pressures. It is also an excellent choice for level measurement in tanks with small diameter (2- to 4-inch) stiling wells.
The narrow beam makes the Rosemount 5408 the ideal solution for bulk solids in small to medium sized silos with rapid level changes.

3.2.4 LPG/LNG antenna requirements

Temperature and pressure measurement
Measurements of temperature and pressure is a prerequisite for high accuracy level measurements in LPG/LNG tanks. A Rosemount Tank Gauging system may include Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauges, Rosemount 2240S Multi-input Temperature Transmitters, Rosemount 644 Temperature Transmitters as well as pressure transmitters in order to obtain all necessary measurement variables.
Still-pipe and Verification Pin
A still-pipe must be installed prior to the gauge installation. The still-pipe is customer supplied and should be manufactured according to the installation drawings.
Three types of steel pipe are recommended:
DN100
4 inch SCH 10 stainless steel pipe
4 inch SCH 40 stainless steel pipe
When ordering the level gauge specify the pipe type in the Required System Information (RSI) form.
The still-pipe must be vertical within ±0.5° and the customer flange must be horizontal within ±1° as illustrated in Figure 3-11.
The still-pipe is manufactured with a number of holes to allow proper circulation of the product, and to ensure equalization of product density inside and outside the pipe. The hole diameter should be 20 mm or 3/4”. All holes in the upper still-pipe section must be placed along a line on one side of the pipe.
The Verification Pin allows you to verify Rosemount 5900S level measurements when the tank is pressurized. It is mounted on the still-pipe in a hole oriented 90 degrees to the other holes.
The Verification Pin should be placed at a position of 1200 mm (47 in.) below the flange as illustrated in Figure 3-11. There must be a minimum distance of 200 mm (8 in.) between the Verification Pin and the maximum product level. In order to fulfill this requirement, the Verification Pin may be mounted higher, up to 1000 mm below the flange.
The Verification Pin must be aligned with a bolt hole on the still-pipe flange as illustrated in
Figure 3-11. The Verification Pin’s position must be clearly marked on the still-pipe flange
(see Figure 3-11) to allow proper alignment of the Rosemount 5900S gauge. See installation drawing D9240 041-910 for LPG/LNG Still-pipe for information on how to
install the Verification Pin on the still-pipe. Installation instructions are enclosed with the Verification Pin and Deflection Plate.

Extension pipe for minimum distance
The Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge should be placed such that there is a minimum gap of 1200 mm (47 in.) between the flange and the maximum product level (see Still-
pipe and Verification Pin). If necessary, an extension pipe can be used to raise the level
gauge. This will allow measurements closer to the top of the tank than would otherwise be possible, as illustrated in Figure 3-16.

3.4.1 Cable/conduit entries

The electronics housing has two entries for ½ - 14 NPT. Optional M20×1.5, minifast and eurofast adapters are also available. The connections must be made in accordance with local or plant electrical codes.
Make sure that unused ports are properly sealed to prevent moisture or other contamination from entering the terminal block compartment of the electronics housing.
Note
Use the enclosed metal plugs to seal unused ports. The plastic plugs mounted at delivery are not sufficient as seal!
Note
Thread sealing (PTFE) tape or paste on male threads of conduit is required to provide a water/dust tight conduit seal and to meet the required degree of ingress protection as well as to enable future removal of the plug/gland.
3.4.2
NPT is a standard for tapered threads. Engage the gland with 5 to 6 threads. Note that there will be a number of threads left outside the housing as illustrated in Figure 3-19.
Figure 3-19: Cable Entry with NPT Threaded Gland
A. The NPT threaded gland leaves a number of threads outside the housing
Ensure that glands for the cable entries meet requirements for IP class 66 and 67.

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 are three grounding screw connections provided. Two are located inside the terminal compartment of the housing and the third is located on the housing. The internal
ground screws are identified by a ground symbol: .
Note
Grounding the transmitter via threaded conduit connection may not provide sufficient ground.

Grounding - FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus
Signal wiring of the fieldbus segment can not be grounded. Grounding out one of the signal wires may shut down the entire fieldbus segment.
Shield wire ground
To protect the fieldbus segment from noise, grounding techniques for shield wire usually require a single grounding point for shield wire to avoid creating a ground loop. The ground point shall be located at the power supply.
The devices designed for “daisy-chain” connection offer an isolated shield loop-through terminal in order to enable a continuous shield throughout the Tankbus network.
In order to avoid unintentional grounding points, the cable shield inside the terminal compartment must be isolated.
3.4.3

Cable selection for the Tankbus

Use shielded twisted pair wiring for the Rosemount 5900S Series in order to comply with
(4)
FISCO fieldbus cable. The cables must be suitable for the supply voltage and approved for use in hazardous areas, where applicable. In the U.S. explosion-proof conduits may be used in the vicinity of the vessel.
Use wire rated at least 5 °C above maximum ambient temperature. We recommend cable size 1.0 mm2 or 18 AWG in order to facilitate wiring. However,
cables within the range 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 or 20 to 16 AWG can be used. The FISCO FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus specification requires that cables for the Tankbus comply
with the following cable parameters:
Table 3-8: FISCO Cable Parameters
Parameter
Loop resistance 15 Ω/km to 150 Ω/km
Loop inductance 0.4 mH/km to 1 mH/km
Capacitance 45 nF/km to 200 nF/km

(1) For further information see requirements of the IEC 61158-2 standard. (2) A spur is an unterminated part of the network. (3) A trunk is the longest cable path between two devices on the fieldbus network, and is the part of
the network which has terminations at both ends. In the Rosemount Tank Gauging system, a trunk is typically located between the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub and a segment coupler or the last device in a daisy-chain configuration.

3.4.4 Hazardous areas

When the Rosemount 5900S level gauge is installed in hazardous areas, local regulations and specifications in applicable certificates must be observed.
Certificates for Rosemount Tank Gauging products, such as the Rosemount 5900, are available on Emerson.com/Rosemount Tank Gauging.

3.4.5 Power requirements

The Rosemount 5900S is powered over the intrinsically safe Tankbus by the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub. The 2410 feeds the intrinsically safe fieldbus segment by acting as a FISCO power supply on the Tankbus.
When installed in a FOUNDATION Fieldbus system without a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub, the Rosemount 5900S is powered by the FF segment.
3.4.6
3.4.7

Power budget

The Rosemount 5900S power consumption is 50 mA for standard devices, and 100 mA for the Rosemount 5900S 2-in-1 versions. This has to be considered when connecting field devices to the Tankbus. See section “Power Budget” in the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub
Reference Manual for more information.

Tankbus

The Rosemount Tank Gauging system is easy to install and wire. Devices can be “daisy­chained” thus reducing the number of external junction boxes.
In a Rosemount Tank Gauging system devices communicate with a Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub via the intrinsically safe Tankbus. The Tankbus complies with the FISCO Fieldbus standard. The Rosemount 2410 acts as power supply to the field devices on the Tankbus. A FISCO system enables more field devices to be connected to the segment compared to conventional IS systems based on the entity concept.
Termination
A terminator is needed at each end of a FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus network. Generally, one terminator is placed in the fieldbus power supply, and the other one in the last device in the fieldbus network.
Note
Ensure that there are two terminators on the fieldbus.
(5)
FOUNDATION
In a Rosemount Tank Gauging system the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub acts as power supply. Since the tank hub normally is the first device in the fieldbus segment, the built-in termination is enabled at factory.
Other devices such as the standard version of the Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge, the Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display, and the Rosemount 2240S Multi-input

00809-0100-5900 November 2021
Temperature Transmitter also have built-in terminators which can easily be enabled by inserting a jumper in the terminal block when necessary.
Segment design
When designing a FISCO fieldbus segment a few requirements need to be considered. Cabling has to comply with FISCO requirements.
You will also have to ensure that the total operating current of the connected field devices is within the output capability of the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub. The 2410 is able to deliver 250 the total current consumption is less than 250 mA.
Another requirement is to ensure that all field devices have at least 9 V input voltage at their terminals. Therefore you will have to take into account the voltage drop in the fieldbus cables.
Distances are normally quite short between the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub and field devices on the tank. In many cases you can use existing cables as long as the FISCO requirements are fulfilled.
See chapter “The Tankbus” in the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub Reference Manual for more information on segment design of a Rosemount Tank Gauging system.

Typical installation

The example in Figure 3-20 illustrates a system with daisy-chained field devices on a single tank. Terminators are installed at both ends of the fieldbus segment as required in a FOUNDATION Fieldbus system. In this case terminators are enabled in the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub and a field device at the end of the network segment.
In addition to the field instruments on the Tankbus, Figure 3-20 illustrates how an instrument such as a pressure transmitter can be connected to the intrinsically safe 4 -20 mA analog input of the 2410 Tank Hub.
Maximum number of HART Slave Devices:
Passive current loop: 5
Active current loop: 3

2. Remove the cover on the terminal compartment.
3. Run the wires through the appropriate cable gland/conduits. Install cables with a
drip loop in such a way that the lower part of the loop is under the cable/conduit entry.
4. Connect wires as described in Terminal blocks.
5. Ensure that the positive lead is connected to the terminal marked FB+ and the
negative lead to the terminal marked FB-.
6. Use metal plugs to seal unused ports.
7. The cover on the terminal compartment should be tightened to mechanical stop
(metal to metal). Make sure the cover is fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements and to prevent water from entering the terminal compartment.
8. Tighten the cable gland/conduit. Note that adapters are required for M20 glands.
Note
Ensure that O-rings and seats are in good condition prior to mounting the cover in order to maintain the specified level of ingress protection. The same requirements apply for cable inlets and outlets (or plugs). Cables must be properly attached to the cable glands.

Wiring diagrams

The standard version of the Rosemount 5900S has a single intrinsically safe fieldbus input. You may activate a built-in fieldbus termination by short-circuiting the X2 connector.
An intrinsically safe output on connector X4 can be used for “daisy-chain” connection to other devices in a Rosemount Tank Gauging system.
Connector X3 is used for a fieldbus input/output cable shield connection (separated from chassis ground).
Figure 3-30 illustrates a typical wiring diagram with a Rosemount 5900S level gauge
connected to a Rosemount 2240S temperature transmitter. In this example the termination is enabled in the temperature transmitter which is the last device on the Tankbus (see Tankbus).
In case you prefer to connect the temperature transmitter to the tank hub, you may “daisy-chain” the Rosemount 5900S to the temperature transmitter, and terminate the Tankbus by a jumper in terminal X2 on the Rosemount 5900S terminal block.
