Tec074 8130
Collect and transmit data from multiple storage tanks to a
central system or host using a single tank gauge interface for
inventory, alarm and control.
Highlights
• Easily expandable through the use of plug‐in interface modules ‐
reduces cost by integrating all analog, digital and serial data inputs
and outputs
• Multiple host ports ‐ adapts to your needs and redundancy
requirements
• Supports multiple tank gauge protocols ‐ connect your existing
equipment at less cost
• Digital and analog I/O connectivity ‐ allows simple tank farm alarm
integration
• Fully compatible with FuelsManager ‐ tank inventory
management made easy
• 8130 RTU and gauge configuration data can be exported to other
applications, such as Microsoft Excel® or Access® ‐ document all
tank gauge equipment Host Communication
• Remote configuration of your tank gauges ‐ means less on‐tank The 8130 RTU connects to most types of sensors or actuators on
activities, resulting in less personnel risk your site, and to PLCs and DCS computers. It combines with
FuelsManager software to provide an extremely cost efficient and
FuelsManager®
reliable tank inventory system. It also provides fully redundant host
ports and is compatible with a variety of other host systems through
the industry standard MODBUS™ protocol.
Configuration and Programming
Remote programming can be accomplished from the host or locally
Network using a PC with the Windows‐based configuration program
Communications Field ViewRTU. This tool simplifies configuration and diagnostics,
Instruments
allowing uploading of final equipment configurations. Reports can
8130 also be generated via a built‐in function to assist in documentation.
RTU
Software Functionality
System
Communications 8130 RTU software blocks provide a broad range of complex, but
commonly needed functions, such as:
AC Power
• Analog scaling ‐ maps 4‐20 mA values into a digital format for
8130 Remote Terminal Unit Basic System Diagram host applications
• Flow measurement and totalization ‐ simplifies the
Applications implementation of flow computations
The 8130 Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) serves as an effective solution • Digital alarm handling ‐ offers the possibility of linking alarm
in SCADA or standalone control applications. It supports up to four inputs to outputs, such as level switch inputs to claxon or siren
individual expansion interface modules (digital, analog and serial I/O outputs
interface) that can interface to virtually any tank gauge on the market.
• Pump/valve acquisition and control ‐ allows easy
Each interface module will scan all the connected gauges for
implementation of pump/valve status to the host system or
measured data, such as level, temperature, density, water level and
remote control for pumps and motor operated valves
alarms.
Intelligent Interface Module Architecture Technical Specifications
Specific communications modules interface to a wide range of tank
gauge equipment. Each 8130 RTU can accommodate up to 4 Host Communication Interfaces
modules.
