Euro Interface EMIS
Interface Description
Communication - It is not always possible to adequately maintain the dialogue between the tank
truck, which is often on the road for a lengthy period and far away from the base, and the logistics
center. For efficient cost calculation and optimum sequences coordination, the control centre
constantly needs updated information on transaction data and system events from the tank truck.
This is to enable the right tour decisions to be made and for transportation to be carried out at low
cost.
The European Multiple Interface System (EMIS) acts as the interface between the components of
the Sening vehicle system ( QAS node � NoMix, MultiSeal; METER-node � MultiFlow and
future Sening® components) and any On-Board Computer (OBC).
Using suitable media, this information, such as transaction data and system events, can be
transfered to the control centre and edited there. Appropriate evaluation allows a logical shift
course to be reconstructed - relating to both complete product information and decisive activities
on the vehicle.
EMIS provides a number of variables in a tree structure permitting data to be exchanged with the
connected devices. The EMIS–linked OBC has no trouble in accessing this data and comparing it
with the use of higher-ranking software modules.
Communication between EMIS and the OBC is done by means of a 3-wire RS232 interface. The
protocol used is documented in this interface description (DOK-411).
EMIS2 is a revised version of the EMIS. Irrespective of the version, this device will be referred to
as EMIS for the rest of this description.
