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.

10 Emerson.com/Rosemount

Reference Manual Getting started

00809-0200-5110 June 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.

4.3 Setting up a tank capacity table

The geometry of a tank is defined in a strapping table called a Tank Capacity Table (TCT). It
is used to convert a product level to the corresponding volume. The values can be entered
either as absolute levels, as relative levels, or as pairs of level and volume.

There are three different types of tank capacity tables:

• Raw

• Northern (relative levels; mostly used in Sweden and Finland)

• International (absolute levels)

You can specify a default TCT type that will automatically be used for new tanks in Setup
→ System.

You can change the TCT type for a tank from the default setting in Setup → Tank Setup →
Tank Capacity.

Note

When specifying a TCT using either the Northern or International method, it is extremely
important that the resulting level-volume curve is continuous. The calculated volume at
the top of one interval must correspond exactly to the volume at the bottom of the next
interval.

Both the relative and the absolute method of entering TCT data require four parameters at
each strapping point. The Northern and the International methods do not use the same
Base Volume and Tank Area Coefficient.

When using the International method, the Base Volume is the volume at the beginning of
the interval. The Tank Area Coefficient describes how the volume varies with the level
within the interval.

Figure 4-2: International Method

4.3.3 Using the Northern method

The Northern method is based on the fact that within an interval, there is an
approximately linear relationship between level and volume, as illustrated below.

Figure 4-3: Northern Method

A. Volume at beginning of interval

B. Level at beginning of interval (From)
C. Volume at end of interval
D. Level at end of interval (To)

The Base Volume corresponds to the volume at Level = 0, given by extrapolation of the
linear level - volume relationship.

The Tank Area Coefficient describes how the volume varies with the level within the
interval based on this Base Volume. The volume is calculated as:

Desired Volume = Vo + Area × Level

4.3.4 Create a tank capacity table

TankMaster WinOpi allows you to specify a strapping table to be used for volume
calculations.

TankMaster WinOpi gives you the option of specifying a strapping table to be used for
volume calculations.

• The geometry of the tank is defined in the TCT

• The TCT is used to convert a product level to the corresponding volume

• The values can be entered either as pairs of level and volume, either as absolute, or

relative levels depending on the type of TCT that is used

• The TCT is stored as pairs of level and volume irrespective of the way the values are

entered into the system

Procedure

1. In the WinOpi Workspace, right-click on the desired tank and select Tank Setup →

Tank Capacity, or open menu option Setup → Tank Setup → Tank Capacity.

points, click the Change button.

3. Click OK to close the TCT Table window and apply any changes.

Note

Changing the TCT or number of points in the TCT Table window only affects the
current tank. The default TCT type is specified in the System Setup window (Setup →
System) and is automatically chosen when strapping tables are created for new
tanks.

4. In the Units pane, select measurement units for Level, Volume and Temperature.

These units are also specified in the System Setup window as default for all tanks, but
can be changed here for the current tank.

• If a tank is insulated the ambient temperature does not have any influence on

the inventory calculations.

• The Steel Expansion Coefficient is used in the calculations of Gross Observed

Volume (GOV) in order to correct for the thermal expansion of the tank wall. The
default value, 0.0000112/°C, is used for mild carbon steel.

8. Enter numerical values for the strapping table points.

Reference Density

The Reference Density (Ref Density) is the density of the product at a specific
temperature given by the Ref Temp value.

Reference Density in the Product Table is used to calculate the Observed Density for
volume table CHEM. For other volume tables the Reference Density is automatically
calculated or is manually entered in the Tank Entry window.

Density change

The Density Change value specifies the rate at which the density changes per 1°C.
Corresponding density and temperature units must be selected.

LPG data

For LPG/LNG tanks, manual values can be entered for Molecular Mass and Vapor Liquid
Ratio. These values are used to calculate the mass of gas and the liquid equivalent volume
of the vapor in the available room above the liquid surface.

Settling data

The Settling Factor states the level change in hours per meter. When the product level
movement has dropped below the Settling Factor, and a period of time exceeding the Max
Time has passed, the tank is considered settled.

HTG tank data

The Solidification Temperature is only used in Hydrostatic Tank Gauging (HTG)
calculations.

Parameter Description

Total Observed Volume, TOV Calculated from strapping tables. It is the total volume at

the observed temperature of the product.

Gross Observed Volume, GOV Obtained by subtracting the Free Water Volume, FWV,

from the total observed volume, TOV. The Free Water
Volume is calculated from the Free Water Level entered by
the operator or measured automatically by using a water
interface sensor.

Gross Standard Volume, GSV The GOV corrected to the reference temperature 15°

C/60° F. The correction is made using the VCF, according
to API Standard 2540.

Net Standard Volume, NSV Calculated as the GSV minus the dissolved sediment and

water. For liquid gas tanks the liquid equivalent volume of
the gas above the product surface is added.

Weight in Vacuum, WIV NSV multiplied by the Reference Density.

Weight Conversion Factor, WCF Calculated from the Reference Density.

Weight in Air, WIA NSV multiplied by the WCF.

Maximum Volume The volume that corresponds to the maximum product

level.

Available Room, AVRM Calculated by substracting the TOV from the Maximum

Volume of the tank.

Floating Roof Adjustment, FRA Floating roof volume adjustment.

Sump volume The volume that is left in a tank when emptied down to

the Zero level.

CTSh Used for correction of GOV to compensate for thermal

expansion of the tank wall.

Minimum Volume Volume between the outlet and the bottom of the tank.

Pumpable Volume TOV minus the Minimum Volume.

Flow Rate The Flow Rate is calculated using the level rate and the

strapping tables.

Reference Density The Reference Density can be automatically calculated

from the Observed Density and the Average Temperature.
Use automatic measurements in Hybrid Tank Gauging
systems with a pressure sensor connected.

Thermal Expansion Coefficient, TEC
Liquid

Used to calculate the VCF when using one of the
6C/24C/54C/60C or the RT_6C/54C volume correction
tables.
