3.1 WHAT IS
TANKMASTER?
TankMaster is a software package designed by Emerson Process
Management/Rosemount Tank Gauging for inventory management as well
as configuration of level gauging equipment. The TankMaster program
package provides you with powerful and easy-to-use tools for installation and
configuration of Rosemount’s tank gauging system. Devices such as field
communication units, Tank Hubs, and radar level gauges can easily be
installed.
The operator’s interface provides inventory and custody transfer functions
and gives you a clear overview of installed devices and tanks. For each tank
you can easily see the associated transmitters and data acquisition units.
TankMaster is designed to be used in the Microsoft ® Windows XP or Vista
environment providing easy access to measurement data from your Local
Area Network.
The TankMaster system allows you to use various protocols such as the
TRL2 Modbus and Enraf GPU. Interfaces such as RS232, and RS485 can be
used for communication with field devices. TankMaster clients and servers
can be integrated in Local Area Networks (LAN) for maximum availability. You
can easily change protocol, device, and tank configuration at any time.
Measured data is presented in real-time and you can customize the view of
tank data to suit your needs.
