Tank Intelligence - Rosemount TankRadar

uses, such as Foundation fieldbus and Profibus, via our
proprietary TRL/2 bus, or by emulation of other vendors’
fieldbuses.
Via the fieldbus, the gauge is connected to a Field Communication
Unit (FCU), which continuously polls and stores
tank content data from groups of radar tank gauges, and
DAUs. The FCU delivers tank content data to the Rosemount
TankMaster inventory management software. This ensures
that the system is continuously updated with fast and reliable
tank data.
If you prefer, data can also be delivered directly to your
DCS/SCADA system or plant host computer via various
protocols.
Wireless installation
The Rosemount Tank Gauging system offers different
options for wireless communication: between each tank and
the control room, or between the FCU and TankMaster.
TankRadar Rex and Pro gauges support Emerson’s Smart
Wireless concept. It utilizes self-organizing (mesh) networks
to ensure that your measurement information will always be
available. Self-organizing networks automatically optimize
connectivity to achieve the highest data reliability.
Unlike other approaches to in-plant wireless, which
require direct line-of-sight between the instrument and the
communication gateway, Emerson’s Smart Wireless concept
ensures maximum network integrity by allowing devices
to communicate with each other. Every device serves as
a network connector, which means there is no single point
of failure.
Should a temporary obstruction block a direct connection,
the network automatically reroutes the signal to an adjacent
device, ensuring network reliability and data integrity.
