1.4TankMaster software package
The TankMaster software package comprises the following software modules:
• WinOpi
• WinSetup
• WinView
• Batch server
• Tank server
• Master Protocol server
• Slave Protocol server
Figure 1-2: Software Modules
WinOpi
WinOpi is the operator interface to the tank gauging system. It communicates with the
Tank Server and various protocol servers to let the user monitor measured tank data.
WinOpi also provides:
• alarm handling
• automatic report distribution
• historical data sampling
• inventory calculations for volume, observed density and other parameters.
WinSetup
The WinSetup program is a graphical user interface (GUI) for installation, configuration
and maintenance of level gauging devices.

Reference ManualGetting started
00809-0200-5110June 2022
WinView
WinView is a software package with basic inventory capabilities. It communicates with the
Tank Server and the different protocol servers to let the user monitor measured tank data.
It is a cost-efficient alternative for operational control at smaller tank terminals, marketing
terminals, biofuels, and chemical plants, etc.
Tank server
The Tank Server communicates with devices via the Master Protocol Server and handles
configuration data for all installed tanks and devices. Parameters stored by the Tank Server
include:
• device names
• configuration data, such as antenna type
• number of connected temperature sensors
• number of connected analog inputs
The Tank Server collects data from connected devices and distributes this information to
the WinOpi and WinSetup user interface.
Master protocol server
The Master Protocol Server transfers configuration data and measured data between the
Tank Server and connected devices in the tank gauging system. The Master Protocol
Server is able to communicate with various types of devices such as FCUs, the Rosemount
2410 Tank Hub, and the Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge to collect measurements
for, for example, level, temperature and pressure.
Slave protocol
The Slave Protocol Server is used to connect the TankMaster system to a host computer
(DCS system). The Slave Protocol Server exchanges tank data between the Tank Server
and the host computer.
OPC Server with browser
TankMaster uses OPC Data Access 2.0 (OLE for Process Control), an open industry
standard, which eliminates the need for costly customized software integration.
With the OPC server and the browser it is easy to import all custody transfer and inventory
data to other OPC clients such as different DCS:s, PLC:s, Scada systems, or Microsoft
Office® programs.
See the web site for the OPC Foundation for more information: www.opcfoundation.org.
Customized views
You can customize specific views and windows in TankMaster. Existing objects can be
modified or new ones. You could, for example, create a window with an embedded image
of your own plant, to give a realistic overview, and configure the window so that when you
click on a specific tank in the image you can access the corresponding data for that tank.
