TankMaster WinSetupChapter 1: Getting Started


1. Getting Started

1.1 What is TankMaster?

TankMaster is a software package for installation and configuration of level gauging equipment. The TankMaster program package provides you with powerful and easy-to-use tools for installation and configuration of level gauging devices. Devices such as radar transmitter gauges, data acquisition units and field communication units can easily be installed.

TankMaster is designed to be used in the Microsoft® Windows XP environment providing easy access to measurement data from your Local Area Network.

The TankMaster system allows you to use various protocols such as Saab TRL/2 Modbus, RS232 and RS485 for connection to Local Area Networks (LAN) and host computers. You can easily change settings of protocols, devices and tanks at any time.

The graphical interface gives you a clear overview of installed devices and tanks. For each tank you can easily see the associated transmitters and data acquisition units.

Measured data is presented in real-time and you can customize the view of tank data to suit your needs.

Key Features

• Monitoring of measured data.

• Clear overview of installed tanks and devices.

• Simple installation by using “wizards”.

• Open connectivity.

• Object oriented user friendly Graphical User Interface.

1.2 TankMaster Software Package

Saab TankMaster comprises the following software modules:

• WinOpi

• WinSetup

• Tank Server

• Master Protocol Servers

• Slave Protocol Server

WinOpi is the operator´s interface to the Saab Rosemount Tank Gauging system. It communicates with the Tank Server and the different protocol servers to let the user monitor measured tank data. WinOpi also provides alarm handling, batch report, automatic report handling, historical data sampling as well as inventory calculations like volume, observed density and other parameters.

The WinSetup program is a graphical user interface for installation, configuration and service of level gauging devices.

The Tank Server communicates with devices via the Master protocol server and handles configuration data for all the installed tanks and devices. Tank and device names, configuration data like antenna type,

number of connected temperature sensors and analog inputs and many other parameters are stored by the Tank Server. The Tank Server collects measured data from connected devices and provides these data to the WinOpi/WinSetup user interface.

The Master Protocol Server transfers configuration data and measured data between the Tank Server and connected devices in a Saab Tank Control system. The Master Protocol Server is able to communicate with various types of devices such as Radar Tank Gauges (RTGs), Field Communication Units (FCUs) and Data Acquisition Units (DAUs) to collect measured data like for example level, temperature and pressure.

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.

1.4 Installing a Tank Level Gauging System

Setting up a Tank Level Gauging system is based on two main activities:

• Tank installation.

• Device installation.

Tank installation

Tank installation includes specifying tank type, specifying which transmitter to associate to the tank and which source signals to use as input for various tank parameters.

Device installation

Device installation includes tasks like configuration of field bus communication, specifying tank height and other geometrical parameters, specifying type of antenna to be used, configuration of temperature sensors, relays, pressure sensors and other external devices.

Wizards

In order to facilitate the installation process, TankMaster WinSetup guides you through the installation procedure by using so called “wizards”. When you have started a wizard, WinSetup automatically walks through a step-by-step procedure which lets you focus on the important issues rather than trying to remember what to do next. The Online Help provides information for each step in case you need further assistance.

TankMaster WinSetupChapter 3: Installing a Level Gauging System


3. Installing a Level Gauging System

3.1 Overview

Before starting to install a Saab Rosemount Tank Gauging system you should make sure that the following information is available:

• A plan of all the devices and tanks. Note the Unit Id of each device and all the communication addresses to be used (the Unit Id is a unique identity given to each RTG, FCU and DAU at manufactur-ing).

• All relevant reference distances like tank height, distance between Zero level and tank bottom etc.

To install a level gauging system you should follow the procedure described below:

1 Communication Protocol Setup

Specify communication protocol parameters:

• The Master Protocol handles the communication between the TankMaster PC and field devices such as the Field Communica-tion Unit (FCU).

• The Slave Protocol is used for communication with a host com-puter.

• If you want to supervise the communication on the bus you can specify the type of errors, function codes etc. to be logged.

2 Preferences

Specify measurement units, tag prefixes for tank and device labels and parameters to be displayed when viewing tank data.

3-1



July 2005

3 Install and Configure the Field Communication Unit (FCU)

If the system contains a FCU it has to be installed and configured before other devices like RTGs and DAUs. To install a FCU you need to:

• Assign an address.

• For each communication port, choose protocol and set the appro-priate communication parameters.

• Configure the slave database which holds information about the devices connected to the field bus.

4 Tank and Device installation and configuration

You can choose one of two methods when installing tanks and devices:

Alternative 1: Start by installing the tanks. In this case devices are installed as part of the tank installation procedure.

Alternative 2: Start by installing and configuring the devices. When the devices are installed, continue with installing the tanks and associate the tanks to the appropriate devices.

Tank Installation

Installing a tank includes the following steps:

Choose tank type Select one of the available options like Cylinder, Floating roof, Sphere LPG, Horizontal LPG etc.

Set a tank tag Specify a name to be used as an identifier in the Workspace window and other windows.

Select devices Associate devices to the tank.

Configuration Specify the available source signals for parameters like Free Water Level, Vapor Pressure and Liquid Pressure.

Value Entry If you want to disconnect automatic measurement for some parameter, you can specify a manual value to be used instead. You can also specify a value range to each measured variable.

3-2



Device Installation

Installing a device includes the following steps:

Communication Specify protocol and address.

Configuration Specify tank distances, geometrical distances related to the transmitter, external sensors like temperature sensors and other parameters depending on what type of device that is installed.

5 Calibration

When a Rex 3900 transmitter is installed and configured you need to adjust the Calibration Distance (the Tank Connection Length for TRL/2 RTG 2900), in order to match measured level and actual product level. This adjustment should be performed once at the final commissioning and normally does not need to be repeated unless tank conditions are changed.

Note! Make sure that the Show FCU Slave Positions check box is not selected. This option should only be used in special cases when preparing the installation of devices which are not connected to the TRL/2 field bus. See next page for further information.

Show FCU Slave Positions

You can associate a tank to a device which is not installed yet as long as it is configured in the FCU slave database. This may be useful if you for example have planned to install the device at a later time (or when an Echowave transmitter is connected to the FCU).

1 Select the Show FCU Slave Positions check box to display symbols which correspond to the FCU slave database.

2 Select the icon that corresponds to the FCU Slave Database position in question. In this example, the symbol named FCU-1.05 corresponds to position 5 in the FCU Slave Database as illustrated above.

3-37



July 2005

3 Move the selected item to the Selected Devices pane by clicking the appropriate arrow button.

Note! Verify the settings by clicking the Advanced button in the tank Configuration window.

Step 4 Configure the tank.

The Tank Configuration window lets you specify analog input signals for Vapor Temperature, Vapor Pressure, Liquid Pressure, and Free Water Level (FWL) to be used for inventory calculations. See WinOpi User´s Guide for more information on Inventory Parameters.

The free water level can for example be obtained from a Water Level Sensor as illustrated below.

Note! For LPG tanks Vapor Temperature source and Vapor Pressure source are configured in LPG Setup (Service/Devices/LPG Setup).

For example, the parameters Vapor Temperature and Vapor Pressure are included in the calculation of Observed Density. Use the Inventory Parameters description in WinOpi User´s Guide for guidance.

Advanced Configuration

WinSetup allows you to change the mapping between tank and transmitter parameters. This option can for example be used if the Level value is temporarily provided by another measurement instrument connected to the Analog Input of the Radar Tank Gauge. It is also possible to connect temperature sensors from different tanks to the same DAU. Then you can configure the tanks to fetch temperature values from different channels of the DAU.

Note! This option should only be used when the standard Tank Configuration can´t be used.

To change the tank parameter mapping do the following:

1 Click the Advanced button in the Tank Configuration window.

This window lets you change the mapping between measured values and tank variables.

2 Put the mouse pointer in the output field corresponding to the variable you want to configure (Level, Level rate etc.).

3 Select the desired variable from the pop-up list.


3-40



You can change source of any tank input variable. The following example illustrates how one DAU may be used to connect temperature sensors from two different tanks:

Example

Tanks TK-1 and TK-5 are equipped with three temperature sensors each.

TK-1 has one DAU (TT-1) configured for six temperature sensors.

The temperature sensors from both TK-1 and TK-5 are connected to DAU TT-1.

Configuration of tank TK-1.This tank has the three temper-ature sensors connected to DAU TT-1. The sensors are mapped from output TT(0) to TT(2). Note that only three tem-perature sensors are con-nected, although the DAU is configured with six sensors.

Configuration of tank TK-5.The three temperature sensors are connected to DAU TT-1. In this case the sensors are mapped to output TT(3) to TT(5).

3-41



July 2005

Step 5 Value entry.

This window can be used to disconnect the automatic measurement if you for example want to set manual values for service purposes.

To set manual values do the following:

1 Chose a measurement variable from the left-hand list.

2 Select Value Source/Manual.

3 Type the desired value in the Value entry field.

Now the automatic measurement is disabled for the selected variable. Manual values are marked in yellow in order to distinguish them from automatically measured values.

3-42



The Value Range parameters (Minimum and Maximum) are used to scale bar graphs in the Tank View window and other windows (in Winsetup as well as WinOpi) where bar graphs are used to display product levels. For example, the Value Range maximum value for Level should be set equal to the Tank Reference Height to get a corresponding readout from the level bargraphs, see example below.

Value range:Min=0Max=20 m

Value range:Min=0Max=12 m

3-43

July 2005

3.8.3 Step 3: Communication setup

Communication settings

There are two ways to connect to the RTG:

• via a Field Communication Unit (FCU), or

• directly to the RTG via a Field Bus Modem (FBM).

Select the button that corresponds to the current type of connection. If a DAU is part of the installation, also set the DAU Modbus address.

In the FCU Slave Database each device is represented by one row and a unique address. The Slave Database contains information on each device such as address, number of temperature sensors etc. (see chapter 3.4 Installing a Field Communication Unit (FCU)). When the communication address is set for the current device, you should check that the value in the Position in FCU field corresponds to the desired

REX RTG

REX RTG and DAU

3-54



position in the FCU Slave Database. If the Slave Database position is incorrect, it may indicate that you have set the wrong address for the current device.

If there are several FCUs available choose the one that the gauge is connected to in the FCU Tag box.

For devices connected directly to the FBM (i.e. not via a FCU), select the channel that the FBM is connected to. (To check which channel that is enabled, open the Protocols folder, select the Master Protocol icon, click the right mouse button and choose Properties).

To change transmitter address

1 Click the Change Address on Device button.

2 Enter the Unit Id of the current RTG and choose the desired address. When changing the device address the Unit Id is used as a unique identifier of the device. It can be found on a label mounted on the device.

(If there is no other device connected that uses the same address as the current device, you can find the Unit Id by typing the current address into the Address field and clicking the Verify Communi-cation button in the Communication window).

3-55



July 2005


4 In the Communication window click the Next button to open the Rex Configuration window.

3-56



Position in FCU

If the gauge is connected to an FCU, check that the Position in FCU field displays the correct number. This number must correspond to the position in the FCU Slave Database as illustrated below.

The current RTG isconfigured in position 1 in the FCU Slave Database.

The address of the current RTG corresponds to the address in position 1 of the FCU Slave Database.

3-57



July 2005

3.8.4 Step 4: RTG Configuration

For a standalone system, set the number of temperature sensors to be connected to the gauge in the Number of Temperature Inputs field. For a gauge connected via FCU, check that the presented number of temperature inputs correspond with the number defined in the FCU slave database. Up to six temperature sensors can be connected to a Rex gauge. If a Rex gauge is connected to an associated DAU, no temperature sensors can be connected to the transmitter head. In this case all sensors have to be connected to the DAU.

Note! Make sure that the number of temperature sensors specified in the Number of Temperature Inputs field is equal to the number of sensors connected to the gauge.

Standalone system

If you are installing a standalone system with an associated Independent DAU (IDAU) mark the Standalone System check box. This makes sure that the associated IDAU receives data for presentation on its LCD display.

Antenna type

You can choose one of the predefined antenna types, for example Parabola or Cone, or a User Defined antenna if your antenna is not available among the predefined antenna types. For a predefined antenna a number of transmitter parameters such as TCL and Hold Off Distance (see chapter 3.8.6 Step 6: RTG Geometry) are automatically specified in order to optimize measurement performance. When choosing a user

3-58



defined antenna you will have to make sure that the database settings are correct.

Select the following antennas for the different gauge types:

RTG 3920 Cone.

RTG 3930 3930P (3930 for the old type)

RTG 3940 Pipe modconv (3940)

RTG 3960 (LPG) LPG 150, 300, or 600 PSI, and with or without valve

The following antenna types are available:

• User Def. Free Propagation

• User Def. Linear Pipe

• User Def. Modeconv. Pipe

• Cone 3920

• Parabolic 3930

• Parabolic 3930 /P

• Pipe modconv (3940)

• Pipe modconv (3945)

• Still-Pipe array, fixed, 3950A

• Still-Pipe array, hatch, 3950B (not used)

• Still-Pipe array, inclined, 3950C

• LPG 150 PSI + Valve

• LPG 150 PSI


• LPG 300 PSI


• LPG 600 PSI

3-59



July 2005

To configure a User Defined antenna

The User Defined options (User Def. Free Propagation, User Def. Linear Pipe, and User Def. Modeconv. Pipe) should only be used in special situations when non-standard antennas are used.

1 Choose the appropriate antenna type.

2 For a still-pipe, enter the inner diameter in the Pipe Diameter field.

3 Specify TCL and Hold Off Distance in the RTG Geometry window, see chapter 3.8.6 Step 6: RTG Geometry.

When the Cone Antenna or the Parabolic Antenna is used, the pipe diameter is automatically set to -0.1 m since this parameter is irrelevant for these antennas.

Note! Except for Still-Pipe gauges the User Defined options should only be used in special situations when non-standard antennas are used.

Remote Display Unit (RDU)

Select RDU40 if the gauge is connected to a RDU 40 display unit. When using a DAU the RDU40 must not be selected.

The 2210 Display Unit is used for Pro gauges.

Select the Use System Units check box if you want the RDU 40 or 2210 Display Unit to use the measurements units specified in the System Setup window (see chapter 3.3 Preferences).

3-60



Temperature Sensor Configuration

In the Rex Configuration window click the Temp Input button to configure type, range and position of the temperature sensors.

Sensor Type

You can choose between the following sensor types:

• Spot DIN Pt100.

• Cu90 (average measurement)

• User-defined. The characteristics is specified by a mathematical formula or a linearization table. (See chapter 8.3 User Defined Conversion of Resistance to Temperature for more information about specifying a user-defined sensor type).

Note! See the Rex Service Manual for more information on temperature measurement.

Make sure that you choose the correct sensor type. For Spot and Multiple Spot temperature elements you have to choose the Spot Pt100 sensor type in order to obtain a correct average temperature calculation.

3-61



July 2005

Sensor Range

The following temperature range is available:

• -50 to +250 °C.

• User Defined. This option should not be used for standard sen-sors. Contact Saab Rosemount for information if you need to use temperature sensors for non-standard temperature ranges.

Sensor Position

The sensors are numbered from the bottom of the tank and upwards. Enter the position of each sensor, measured as the distance from the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Plate) to the temperature element. If you use average temperature elements enter the position of the terminating level of each sensor element.

Note! The number of available sensors is specified in the Rex Configuration window.

Average Temperature Calculation

Select the Exclude From Average Calculation check box if you want to exclude a certain spot element from the average temperature calculation. This may be useful if, for example, the temperature close to the surface or close to the bottom of the tank deviates significantly from the temperature in the rest of the tank. This may also be accomplished by setting an appropriate value of the Minimum Distance parameter.

Note! A faulty temperature sensor is blocked automatically, and consequently excluded from average temperature calculations.

3-62



Minimum Distance

You can specify a region between the product surface and a certain level below the surface, in which spot sensors will not be included in the average temperature calculation.

The width of this region is specified by setting the Minimum Distance.

This function may be useful if the temperature of the atmosphere above the product significantly deviates from the temperature of the product itself, resulting in large temperature gradients close to the product surface. By setting a Minimum Distance, temperature elements within this region can be excluded from average temperature calculations.

This function can also be used to compensate for inaccuracies in the measured sensor positions, in order to make sure that temperature sensors above the product surface are not included in the average temperature calculation. If for example the position of the temperature sensors is measured within an accuracy of 10 mm, setting the minimum distance to at least 10 mm will guarantee that sensors above the surface are not included in the average temperature calculations.

Configuration - Analog Inputs

To configure connected analog input signals click the appropriate Analog Input button.

Value range

Enter the lower and upper limits corresponding to the 4 mA and 20 mA input currents, respectively.

Error limits

The error limits define the lower and upper limits of the input currents. Outside this range an error will be indicated. You can set the upper error limit between 20 and 24 mA, and the lower error limit between 3 and 4 mA. The error limits should be set to correspond to the error limits of connected instruments. If for example an instrument sets the output current in alarm mode to 3.8 mA, you should set the lower error limit to 3.8 or higher.

Value unit

Choose a suitable measurement unit. You can choose between various units to indicate pressure (mBar G, mBar A), product level, and current.

Filter factor

By setting a filter factor you can suppress spurious fluctuations in the analog input signal. A value between 1 and 200 can be used. The default value is 4.

3-64



Description

Enter an optional Description for the Analog Input.

Configuration - Analog Outputs

To configure the analog output signal, click the Analog Output button in the Rex RTG Configuration window.

Analog Out Source

Choose the desired source signal for the Analog Output. If, for example, Level is selected the Analog Output provides an output signal between 4 and 20 mA which is proportional to the current product level.

Alarm mode

The Alarm mode specifies the analog output state when a measurement error occurs, or when the measured value is out of range:

• High: the output current is set to 22 mA.

• Low: the output current is set to 3.8 mA.

• Freeze current: the output current is set to the present value at the time when the error occurs.

• Binary High: the output current is 4 mA under normal conditions. If there is a measurement error, or when the source signal is out of range, the output current is set to 20 mA.

• Binary Low: the output current is 20 mA under normal conditions. If there is a measurement error, or when the source signal is out of range, the output current is set to 4 mA.

3-65



July 2005

Range Value

Set the source signal values that correspond to the analog output values 4 mA and 20 mA. You can specify any value as long as the Upper range value is above the Lower range value. If the measured value goes out of range, the transmitter enters the alarm mode.

Configuration - Relay Output

To configure connected relays click the appropriate Relay Output button.

The optional Relay Output Card at the underside of the transmitter head, allows you to use up to two relays. There are two connectors for each relay (X2-X3 and X4-X5) which can be used to specify relay state On or Off when it is not energized.

If the transmitter is connected to an FCU, check that the Slave Database is configured with the correct number of relays. See chapter 3.4 Installing a Field Communication Unit (FCU) for more information.

Using first/both points

Select Use Both Points if you want to define three relay zones.

Select Use Only First Point if you want to use only two relay zones.

3-66



First and second set points

The first and second set points define the transitions between Zone 1, 2 and 3. You can set different relay states in each of these zones.

Hysteresis

When the source variable passes a set point, the relay switches from one state to the other. If a hysteresis zone is specified, the relay remains in the new state even if the source signal returns back to a value within the previous zone. Thus, the actual set point is given by the combination of set point (First Point/Second Point) and the value given in the Hysteresis input field (see Relay Functions later in this chapter).

Relay states

There are three relay states available:

Alarm In this state the relay is de-energized. Depending on how the relays are connected to X2-X3 (relay 1) and X4-X5 (relay 2) on the Relay Output Card (ROC), they will be either open or closed in the de-energized state.Note that a relay defined as Normally Open will be open in the Alarm state.If the relay is configured as Normally Closed it will be closed in the Alarm state.

Normal In this state the relay is energized.

Toggle The relay switches periodically between Normal and Alarm.

Select Source

Switch Delay

This is the time delay until the relay switches into alarm state, i.e. the amount of time it takes for a relay to respond to an alarm. You can use this to prevent the relay from being activated due to temporary variations of the source signal.

Toggle Period

When the relay is in Toggle state it switches between On and Off at a rate defined by the Toggle Period.

Control Mode

Manual the relay state is set manually by using the Manual Control Relay option from the Service/Devices menu.

Auto the relay state is controlled by the transmitter variable specified in the Select Source field.

Disabled the relay function is turned off.

3-68



Relay output configuration

The relay output can be selected as either Normally Open or Normally Closed referring to the contact position when the relay is de-energized. This also refers to the Alarm (Reset) state. By connecting relay 1 to connector X2 on the Relay Output Card (ROC), the relay is set as Normally Closed. Connecting to X3 sets the relay as Normally Open. See the TRL/2 Installation Manual for further information.

The relay terminology can be summarized the following way:

Example

You want relay 1 to be Open during normal operation and to be Closed when in alarm mode. This means that the relay is de-energized when there is an alarm and consequently the relay has to be connected as Normally Closed. On the Relay Output Card this corresponds to the X2 connector. See the Rex Installation Manual for more information on how to connect the Rex transmitter relays.

Normally Closed Normally Open

Closed Open Open Closed

De-energized Energized De-energized Energized

Not Active Active Not Active Active

July 2005

Relay Functions

You can use one or two set points for relays connected to the Rex transmitter. Consequently, there are two or three zones in which different relay states can be specified. For each zone you can set any of the three available relay states Normal, Alarm or Toggle.

For each set point you can specify a hysteresis zone preventing the relay from switching back to its previous state as long as the source variable is changed only small amounts around a certain set point. The principle of relay set points and hysteresis zones is shown in the figure below. Note that in this example only two states are used:

1 The source value passes set point one, and the relay state is changed according to the definition for Zone 1.

2 The relay state is changed back to the Zone 2 state when the source value passes the set point as given by the hysteresis value.

3 The source value passes set point two and the relay state is changed according to the definition for Zone 3.

4 The relay switches back to the Zone 2 relay state when the source value passes set point two as given by the corresponding hysteresis value.

Hart Devices Configuration

Up to three HART slaves can be connected to Analog Input 1 using address 1-3, see Rex Installation Manual. In this case the current is set to 4 mA.

In Analog Current mode only one HART slave is allowed. In this case address 0 must be used.

To configure connected devices using the HART protocol click the HART Devices button in the RTG Rex Configuration window.

A Rex gauge can act as a master interfacing up to three HART devices (slaves) in a multidrop configuration connected to Analog Input 1. When two or three HART slaves are connected short address 1-3 must be used.

The HART Devices Configuration window lets you specify an identifier for each HART slave.

If the transmitter is connected to an FCU, check that the Slave Database is configured with the correct number of HART slaves. See chapter 3.4 Installing a Field Communication Unit (FCU) for more information.

To view status information of connected HART slaves choose HART Devices Status from the Service/Devices menu.

3.8.5 Step 5: Tank Distances

Tank Reference Height (R)

The Tank Reference Height (R) is the distance from the hand dipping nozzle (Tank Reference Point) to the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Plate) close to or at the bottom of the tank.

Rex Reference Distance (G)

The RTG Reference Distance (G) is the distance between the Tank Reference Point and the RTG Reference Point, which is located at the top surface of the customer’s flange or manhole cover on which the gauge is mounted. For Still Pipe Gauges the RTG Reference point is located at the hand-dip mark on the Still Pipe Gauge Stand.

G is positive if the Tank Reference Point is located above the RTG Ref Point. Otherwise G is negative.

Minimum Level Distance (C)

The Minimum Level Distance (C) is defined as the distance between the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Point) and the Minimum Level of the product surface (tank bottom). By specifying a C-distance, the measuring range can be extended to the bottom of the tank. If C>0, negative level values will be displayed when the product surface is below the Zero Level. Select the Show negative level values as zero check box if you want levels below the Zero Level to be displayed as Level=0.

If you set the C-distance=0, measurements below the Zero Level will not be approved, i.e. the RTG will report an invalid level.

3.8.6 Step 6: RTG Geometry

Tank Connection Length (TCL)

The Tank Connection Length (TCL) is specified for each antenna individually. Each standard antenna has a predefined TCL value which does not correspond to the physical length of the Tank Connection. TCL can only be changed for antenna type User Defined (see the Rex Configuration window). If you chose one of the predefined antennas in the Rex Configuration window, you can calibrate the transmitter by adjusting the Calibration Distance.

Hold Off Distance/UFM

The Hold Off distance/UFM defines how close to the RTG Reference Point a level value is accepted. Normally the Hold Off distance does not need to be changed. However, if there are disturbing echoes in the upper part of the tank, for example from the tank nozzle, you can increase the Hold Off distance in order to avoid measurements in the region close to the antenna.

Calibration Distance

Use this variable to adjust the transmitter so that measured product levels match hand dipped levels. Normally a minor adjustment is necessary when the gauge is installed due to, for example, a minor deviation between the actual tank height and the value stored in the transmitter database.

3-74



3.8.7 Step 7: DAU Configuration

Note! If you are installing a Slave DAU only the temperature option is available for configuration.

Note! This step is only required if you are installing a DAU.

To configure the Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) do the following:

1 Click the Synchronize with FCU button. This will update the number of temperature inputs, current inputs, digital inputs and relay outputs according to the specified values in the FCU Slave Database window, see chapter 3.4 Installing a Field Communication Unit (FCU).

2 Select the analog input signal to appear on the DAU local display. Cin designates current inputs to a DAU. Ain designates current inputs to a RTG.

3 For an Independent DAU (IDAU) configure the temperature sensors, cur-rent inputs, digital inputs and relay outputs. For a Slave DAU only tem-perature sensors are available.

3-75

Temperature sensor configuration

Up to 14 temperature sensors can be connected to a DAU. To configure the temperature sensors do the following:

1 In the DAU Configuration window click the Configure button next to the Number of Temperature Sensors field.

2 Type the position of each sensor in the appropriate input field.

3 Select the appropriate sensor type and measuring range.

4 Select the Average Exclude check box if you want to exclude a particu-lar temperature sensor from the average temperature calculation. This may be useful for example if a sensor is broken, or if the temperature close the surface or the bottom of the tank deviates significantly from the temperature in the rest of the tank. (The sensor will also be marked as blocked in Tankmaster WinOpi).

5 Click the OK button to return to the DAU Configuration window.

4 In the Description field enter text to be displayed in the View Tank win-dow (TankMaster WinOpi program) or other windows where the relay status appears.

5 Specify what text to be used for the Active (energized) and Not Active (de-energized) relay output states. For example, by typing On in the Active field the relay state On will be displayed whenever the relay sta-tus is Active.


Relays

A maximum of four relays can be connected to an Independent DAU. The relays can be activated by the level measured by the associated RTG, or by any of the parameters measured by the Independent DAU itself.

A hysteresis zone can be defined for each relay. In this zone the relay can be either activated or deactivated, depending on the previous state. If, for example, the level is selected as the parameter and Energize is set to 16 m and De-energize is set to 18 m, the relay will be activated when the level drops below 16 m and deactivated when the level rises above 18 m.

By setting the Energize and the De-energize parameters to different values, there will be a hysteresis zone in which either relay state is possible, depending on the relay state before the source signal entered this zone. The opposite will hold true if the De-energize value is larger than the Energize value.

The relays can be set to Normally Open or Normally Closed by setting jumpers within the Independent DAU, please see the TRL/2 Installation Manual edition 8.

2 Set the desired units to be used for presentation of the Analog Inputs. Select from the list of available options.

3 Set the scaling of the Analog Inputs and the Analog Outputs. The Lower and Upper fields correspond to the 4 mA and the 20 mA signals. If the Analog Output goes beyond the 4mA/20mA limits, the last approved value is maintained on the output.In the Analog Input Description field you can type a description to be displayed in the View Tank window in the WinOpi operators interface pro-gram.

4 Choose source signals for the analog outputs from the available options in the Output Value list.

5 Click the OK button to confirm the settings and return to the RTG Config-uration window.



The Tank Reference Height (R) is the distance from the hand dipping level (Tank Reference Point) to the Zero level (Dipping Datum Point) at the bottom of the tank.


The RTG Reference Distance (G) is the distance between the Tank Reference Point and the RTG Reference Point. The RTG Reference Point is located at the top surface of the customer’s flange or manhole

cover on which the gauge is mounted. For Still-Pipe Gauges the RTG Reference point is located at the hand-dip mark on the Still-Pipe Gauge Stand.

G is positive if the Tank Reference Point is located above the RTG Ref Point. Otherwise G is negative.


Normally the Minimum Level Distance (C) is equal to zero. The C-distance is defined as the distance between the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Point) and the Minimum Level of the product surface (tank bottom). By specifying a C-distance the measuring range can be extended to the bottom of the tank in which case levels below the Zero Level are displayed as negative values.

If you set C=0 measurements below the Zero Level will not be approved, i.e. the RTG will report an invalid level unless you specify a positive Lower Filter Margin (LFM), see chapter 3.8.6 Step 6: RTG Geometry.

The Tank Connection Length (TCL) can be used to calibrate the RTG in order to compensate for differences between different RTG microwave units and antennas. It does not correspond to any physical length. Use the following default values:

For a RTG 2960 different default values are used depending on the type of flange that is used:

If measured levels correspond well with observed (hand dipped) levels you can use the default TCL values.

If there is a deviation between hand dipped and measured levels, you may adjust the TCL value according to the formula:New TCL=Old TCL+∆Lwhere ∆L=observed level (hand dip) -TRL/2 level reading.See chapter 3.18 Calibration for further information.

Hold Off Distance (UFM)

The Hold Off Distance (also referred to as Upper Filter Margin) defines how close to the RTG Reference Point measurements are accepted. Normally this parameter should not be changed. The Hold Off Distance may be increased, if for example, there are disturbing echoes from the tank nozzle.

Lower Filter Margin

The Lower Filter Margin (LFM) should normally be equal to zero. However, you can use LFM to make levels below the Zero Level to be presented as zero. This is done by setting LFM equal to the distance between the Zero Level and the Minimum Level (tank bottom). In this case the C-distance must be set to zero.

In special measurement situations LFM can be used to adjust the measuring range in order to avoid measurements close to the tank bottom.

Summary of measurements below the Zero Level

There are three typical situations that apply for measurements close to the tank bottom:

1 No measurements occur below the Zero Level. In this case there is no need to specify how levels below the Zero Level should be presented.

2 The product surface may drop below the Zero Level. You want to present these levels as negative values in order to see the actual position of the product surface.

3 The product surface may drop below the Zero Level but you don’t need to know the actual surface level. In this case you may present levels below the Zero Level as Level=0.

Case 1.

C=0, LFM=0.

If no measurements are done below the Zero Level both C and LFM can be set equal to zero. In this case measurements below the Zero Level will not be approved, i.e. the RTG will report an invalid level.

Case 2.

C>0, LFM=0.

By using the C-distance parameter, the measuring range is increased to the bottom of the tank, and negative levels below the Zero level (Dipping Datum Plate) are presented.

Case 3.

C=0, LFM>0.

By using the LFM parameter, the measuring range can be increased to the bottom of the tank. In this case all levels below the Zero level (Dipping Datum Plate) are presented as equal to zero. This may be useful if you are not interested in actual level values below the Zero Level but you still don’t want the transmitter to present invalid measurements.

Communication settings

There are two ways to connect to the RTG:

• via a Field Communication Unit (FCU), or

• directly to the RTG via a Field Bus Modem (FBM).

Select the button that corresponds to the current type of connection. If a DAU is part of the installation, also set the DAU Modbus address.

In the FCU Slave Database each device is represented by one row and a unique address. The Slave Database contains information on each device like address, number of temperature sensors etc. (see chapter 3.4 Installing a Field Communication Unit (FCU)). When the communication address is set for the current device, you should check that the value in the Position in FCU field corresponds to the desired position in the FCU Slave Database. If the Slave Database position is incorrect, it may indicate that you have set the wrong address for the current device.

If there are several FCUs available choose the one that the gauge is connected to in the FCU Tag box.

For devices connected directly to the FBM (i.e. not via a FCU), select the channel that the FBM is connected to. (To check which channel that is enabled, open the Protocols folder, select the Master Protocol icon, click the right mouse button and choose Properties).

The number of temperature sensors to be connected to the gauge is set in the FCU slave database. Up to six temperature sensors can be connected to a Pro gauge.

Note! Make sure that the number of temperature sensors specified in the Number of Temperature Inputs field is equal to the number of sensors connected to the gauge.

Antenna type

You can choose one of the predefined antenna types, for example Parabola or Cone, or a User Defined antenna if your antenna is not available among the predefined antenna types. For a predefined antenna a number of transmitter parameters such as TCL and Hold Off Distance (see chapter 3.8.6 Step 6: RTG Geometry) are automatically specified in order to optimize measurement performance. When choosing a user defined antenna you will have to make sure that the database settings are correct.

The following antenna types are available:

• User defined

• Cone 4" PTFE

• Cone 4" QUARTZ

• Cone 6" PTFE

• Cone 6" QUARTZ

3-110



• Cone 8" PTFE

• Cone 8" QUARTZ

• Pipe PTFE

• Rod

• Parabola

• Process Seal 4" PTFE

• Process Seal 4" Ceramic

• Process Seal 6" PTFE

• Process Seal 6" Ceramic

• Cone 3" PTFE

• Cone 3" QUARTZ

To configure a User Defined antenna

The User Defined option should only be used in special situations when non-standard antennas are used.

1 Choose the appropriate antenna type.

2 For a still-pipe, enter the inner diameter in the Pipe Diameter field.

3 Specify TCL and Hold Off Distance in the RTG Geometry window, see chapter 3.8.6 Step 6: RTG Geometry.

When the Cone Antenna or the Parabolic Antenna is used, the pipe diameter is automatically set to -0.1 m since this parameter is irrelevant for these antennas.

Note! Except for Still-Pipe gauges the User Defined options should only be used in special situations when non-standard antennas are used.

3-111



July 2005

Temperature Sensor Configuration

In the Pro Configuration window click the Temp Input button to configure type, range and position of the temperature sensors.

Sensor Type

You can choose between the following sensor types:

• Spot DIN Pt100.

• Cu90 (average measurement)

• User-defined. The characteristics is specified by a mathematical formula or a linearization table. (See chapter 8.3 User Defined Conversion of Resistance to Temperature for more information about specifying a user-defined sensor type).

Make sure that you choose the correct sensor type. For Spot and Multiple Spot temperature elements you have to choose the Spot Pt100 sensor type in order to obtain a correct average temperature calculation.

Sensor Range

Define the sensor temperature range.

3-112



Sensor Position

The sensors are numbered from the bottom of the tank and upwards. Enter the position of each sensor, measured as the distance from the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Plate) to the temperature element. If you use average temperature elements enter the position of the terminating level of each sensor element.

Note! The number of available sensors is specified in the Pro Configuration window.

Average Temperature Calculation

Select the Exclude From Average Calculation check box if you want to exclude a certain spot element from the average temperature calculation. This may be useful if, for example, the temperature close to the surface or close to the bottom of the tank deviates significantly from the temperature in the rest of the tank. This may also be accomplished by setting an appropriate value of the Minimum Distance parameter.

Note! A faulty temperature sensor is blocked automatically, and consequently excluded from average temperature calculations.

3-113



July 2005

Minimum Distance

You can specify a region between the product surface and a certain level below the surface, in which spot sensors will not be included in the average temperature calculation.

The width of this region is specified by setting the Minimum Distance.

This function may be useful if the temperature of the atmosphere above the product significantly deviates from the temperature of the product itself, resulting in large temperature gradients close to the product surface. By setting a Minimum Distance, temperature elements within this region can be excluded from average temperature calculations.

This function can also be used to compensate for inaccuracies in the measured sensor positions, in order to make sure that temperature sensors above the product surface are not included in the average temperature calculation. If for example the position of the temperature sensors is measured within an accuracy of 10 mm, setting the minimum distance to at least 10 mm will guarantee that sensors above the surface are not included in the average temperature calculations.

Configuration - Analog Outputs

To configure the analog output signal, click the Analog Output button in the Pro RTG Configuration window.

Analog Out Source

Choose the desired source signal for the Analog Output. If, for example, Level is selected the Analog Output provides an output signal between 4 and 20 mA which is proportional to the current product level.

Alarm mode

The Alarm mode specifies the analog output state when a measurement error occurs, or when the measured value is out of range:

• High: the output current is set to 22 mA.

• Low: the output current is set to 3.8 mA.

• Freeze current: the output current is set to the present value at the time when the error occurs.

• Binary High: the output current is 4 mA under normal conditions. If there is a measurement error, or when the source signal is out of range, the output current is set to 20 mA.

• Binary Low: the output current is 20 mA under normal conditions. If there is a measurement error, or when the source signal is out of range, the output current is set to 4 mA.

3-115



July 2005

Range Value

Set the source signal values that correspond to the analog output values 4 mA and 20 mA. You can specify any value as long as the Upper range value is above the Lower range value. If the measured value goes out of range, the transmitter enters the alarm mode.



The Tank Reference Height (R) is the distance from the hand dipping nozzle (Tank Reference Point) to the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Plate) close to or at the bottom of the tank.

Pro Reference Distance (G)

The Pro Reference Distance (G) is the distance between the Tank Reference Point and the RTG Reference Point, which is located at the top surface of the customer’s flange or manhole cover on which the gauge is mounted. For still-pipe gauges the RTG Reference point is located at the hand-dip mark on the still-pipe gauge stand.

G is positive if the Tank Reference Point is located above the RTG Reference Point. Otherwise G is negative.


The Minimum Level Distance (C) is defined as the distance between the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Point) and the Minimum Level of the product surface (tank bottom). By specifying a C-distance, the measuring range

3-116



can be extended to the bottom of the tank. If C>0, negative level values will be displayed when the product surface is below the Zero Level. Select the Show negative level values as zero check box if you want levels below the Zero Level to be displayed as Level=0.

If you set the C-distance=0, measurements below the Zero Level will not be approved, i.e. the RTG will report an invalid level.

The Tank Connection Length (TCL) is specified for each antenna individually. Each standard antenna has a predefined TCL value which does not correspond to the physical length of the Tank Connection. TCL can only be changed for antenna type User Defined (see the Pro Configuration window). If you chose one of the predefined antennas in the Pro Configuration window, you can calibrate the transmitter by adjusting the Calibration Distance.

Hold Off Distance/UFM

The Hold Off distance/UFM defines how close to the RTG Reference Point a level value is accepted. Normally the Hold Off distance does not need to be changed. However, if there are disturbing echoes in the upper part of the tank, for example from the tank nozzle, you can increase the Hold Off distance in order to avoid measurements in the region close to the antenna.


Use this variable to adjust the transmitter so that measured product levels match hand dipped levels. Normally a minor adjustment is necessary when the gauge is installed due to, for example, a minor deviation between the actual tank height and the value stored in the transmitter database.

3.16 Installing an LPG/LNG Tank Gauge

3.16.1 Preparations

Make sure that all mechanical installations are made according to instructions, and that all external sensors such as pressure and temperature sensors are properly connected. Also make sure that the position of the reference pin(s) and the inner diameter of the still-pipe are available.

Before the actual LPG configuration can take place, install the tank and devices in TankMaster WinSetup as described in chapter 3.5 Tank Installation and chapter 3.8 Installing a Rex 3900 Gauge. Make sure that the appropriate tank and device types are selected and that the temperature and pressure sensors are properly configured. Check that the gauge communicates properly with the TankMaster PC.

The LPG gauge is able to compensate deviations in measured level due to the influence of highly pressurized vapor above the product surface. Installation of an LPG gauge can roughly be divided in two main activities:

1 Immediately after the installation of the gauge, when the tank still is empty, the transmitter is configured for LPG and calibrated.

2 The gauge is setup for the correction method that applies to the particular type of product that is stored in the tank.

3.16.2 LPG Configuration

Step 1 Check the ball valve.

Check that the optional ball valve on the transmitter is open and that the TEST-OPERATION switch is in the OPERATION position.

3-140



In the WinSetup Work Space select the appropriate device, click the right mouse button and choose LPG Setup.

Step 2 Choose Air Correction.

In the LPG Setup window click the Correction button.

Choose Air Correction Only from the list of correction methods and click the OK button.

(When the LPG configuration is finished the correction method will be changed to a correction method that applies to the particular type of product that is used. See step 7).

3-141



July 2005

Step 3 Choose Vapor Pressure and Vapor Temperature Source.

In the LPG Setup window click the Pressure button and choose Vapor Pressure Source.

As source signal you can choose one of the analog inputs or an associated DAU, as well as setting a manual value. For the Rex gauge it is also possible to choose input from a HART slave device.

Note! For correction method One or more known gases, known mixratio pressure is not required.

In the LPG Setup window click the Temperature button and choose the desired temperature source. (For RTG 2900 transmitters there is a common button for Pressure and Temperature setup).

There are different options available depending on the type of transmitter that is installed. For the Rex gauge you can choose one of the spot sensors connected to the transmitter, the average temperature for sensors above the liquid surface, one of the analog input signals or the input from a HART slave device.

3-142



Step 4 Calibrate.

Make sure that there is no liquid above the bottom plug at the end of the pipe. Check the Ullage value measured by the transmitter. If the Ullage measured by the transmitter is not equal to the actual distance between the RTG Reference Point and the bottom plug, open the transmitter Properties window (right-click the device icon and choose Properties), choose the RTG Geometry tab and adjust the Calibration Distance (RTG 2900: TCL).

Step 5 Configure reference pins.

In the LPG Setup window click the Config Pins button.

Enter the reference pin positions. The position is measured from the RTG Reference Point to the actual position of the reference pin.

Since hand dipping can not be performed in high pressurized tanks, Saab Rosemount Tank Gauging has developed a unique method to verify level gauging in such tanks. The method is based on measuring in a special radar wave propagation mode against fixed reference pins. Up to three reference pins can be mounted in the pipe in order to verify the measurement.

3-143



July 2005

Note! The value that you enter in the Nominal Pos field refers to the mechanical distance from the RTG reference point to the reference pin. This value will only act as a starting point for the following verification process in which the electrical distance from the RTG reference point to the reference pin is calculated. In most cases the electrical distance deviates from the actual mechanical distance.

Make sure that the Threshold value is 500 mV.

RTG reference pin

RTG Reference Point

Distance from RTG reference point to reference pin

3-144



The amplitude of the echo from the Reference Pin must be bigger than the threshold value in order to be displayed in the LPGVerify window (see Step 6). If for some reason one of the Reference Pins does not show up, it is possible to set a smaller threshold value for that particular Reference Pin. Check that the product level is not above the reference pin.

Comment! When the product surface is close to a reference pin, the radar echoes from the reference pin and the product surface interfere, and the measured distance to the reference pin becomes inaccurate. It is recommended that verification should not be performed if the distance between a reference pin and the product surface is less than 800 mm.

Minimum clearance 800 mm

Reference pin

3-145



July 2005

Step 6 Verify the gauge measurement.

1 Turn the Calibration Handle to the TEST position on the Radar Tank Gauge. It is only in this position that the Reference Pins produce “visible” radar echoes. Make sure that the pins appear in the LPG Setup window.

In the LPG Setup window click the Verify Pins button.

2 In the LPG Verify Pins window click the Start button to start the verifica-tion process.

When the verification is finished, the measured position appears in the Measured Position column.

3 Note the position of the reference pin in the Measured Position field. If the measured position deviates from the nominal position, return to the RTG LPG Configure Pins window and enter the measured position into the Nominal Position field.

Note! The nominal position that was entered the first time refers to the mechanical distance. The measured position refers to the electrical distance which is the distance “seen” by the RTG.

4 In the Verify window click the Start button again to start a new verifica-tion. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the nominal position in the RTG LPG Configure Pins window is close to the measured position in the LPG Ver-ify Pins window.

Note! Remember to put the Calibration Handle on the Radar Tank Gauge back to the OPERATION position after the verification procedure is finished.

3-146



Step 7 Choose correction method.

There are several options available depending on the number of products and product type. Click the Correction button.

Choose one of the following methods:

1 Air Correction.

This method should only be used when there is no vapor in the tank, i.e. when the tank contains only air. This method may for example be used when the transmitter is calibrated.

2 One known gas.

This method may be used when there is only one gas type in the tank. It provides the highest accuracy among the different correction methods. Note that even small amounts of another gas reduces the accuracy.

3 One or more unknown gases.

Use this method for hydrocarbons, for example Propane/Buthane, when the exact mixture is not known.

4 Two gases, unknown mixratio.

This method is suitable for a mixture of two gases even if the mixratio is not known.

5 One or more known gases. Known mixratio

This method may be used when there is a well known mixture of up to 4 products in the tank.

3 Enter the P1 Sensor Position, i.e. the position of the center of the Liquid Pressure sensor membrane.

3-157



July 2005

4 Enter the Hybrid Min Level. This value specifies the lowest product level at which TankMaster calculates the Observed Density. Normally, the accuracy is poor for low pressures, i.e. at product levels close to the sen-sor membrane. Therefore, you can enter a limit below which the density calculation is “frozen”. If you for example type 0.6 in the Hybrid Min Level field, WinOpi will present the same density value for product levels below 0.6 meter. The actual value depends on the accuracy of the pressure sensor.

Note! Specify the actual product level and not the distance between the pressure sensor and the product surface.

5 Enter the P3 Sensor Position, i.e. the position of the center of the Vapor Pressure sensor membrane.

Step 6 Tank Entry

1 In the WinSetup workspace window select the desired tank icon.

2 Click the right mouse button and choose Tank Entry,- or -from the Service menu choose Tanks>Tank Entry.

3-158



3 Make sure the Reference Density is measured automatically, i.e. the check box should be unchecked.

4 Open Properties for the selected tank (Service>Tanks>Properties) and select the Value Entry tab.

5 Make sure that Liquid Pressure and Vapor Pressure are measured automatically, i.e. Value Source is set to Automatic.

Reference Density

Check that Value Source is set to Auto-matic.

3-159



July 2005

Step 7 Tank Inventory

Check the result in the Tank Inventory window:

1 In the WinOpi workspace select the tank icon.

2 Choose View>Tank>Tank Inventory.

If there are any incorrect calculations, see the TankMaster WinOpi User’s Guide and the Checklist for Inventory Parameter Setup for guidance.

3-160



3.18 Calibration

Normally a minor adjustment of the Calibration Distance (the Tank Connection Length for TRL/2 gauges) is needed in order to achieve good agreement between measured and actual product level. A small offset can for example result from deviations between the actual tank height and the value stored in the gauge database, or from differences between various RTG microwave units and antennas.

You can choose to make a manual adjustment of the Calibration Distance, or you can use the Calibrate function to let WinSetup automatically calculate an optimized Calibration Distance based on measurement data from different product levels.

Note! The following is a brief description of how to calibrate a Rex gauge. For a comprehensive description, see the Rex Service manual.

3.18.1 Manual Adjustment

For Rex gauges a rough calibration can be made by manually adjusting the Calibration Distance parameter. For TRL/2 2900 gauges the corresponding adjustment is done by changing the TCL parameter. (For Rex gauges the TCL is never adjusted except for non-standard antennas). By comparing a hand dipped level with the corresponding level measured by the gauge, a Calibration Distance value can be calculated according to the formula:

New Calibration Distance=Old Calibration Distance+∆L,

where ∆L=observed level (hand dip) - gauge level reading.

The same formula applies for TRL/2 gauges if the Calibration Distance is changed to the TCL parameter.

3-161



July 2005

To change the Calibration Distance stored in the gauge database:

1 Select the gauge icon in the WinSetup workspace.

2 Click the right mouse-button and choose the Properties option.

3 Select the RTG Geometry tab.

4 Type the Calibration Distance value in the corresponding input field and click the OK button.

See the Rex Service manual for further information.


3-162



3.18.2 Using the Calibrate Function

The Calibrate function is a tool which allows you to optimize measurement performance from the top of the tank to the bottom, by minimizing the offset between actual product levels and the corresponding values measured by the gauge.

To calibrate a transmitter:

1 Select the desired transmitter in the Workspace window and choose Cal-ibrate from the Service/Devices menu,- or -click the right mouse button and choose Calibrate.

2 Click the Calibration Data button. In the Calibration Data window enter hand dipped level values and the corresponding levels measured by the gauge. Click the Save Calibration Data in PC Database button.

The Calibration window displays a straight line fitted through measurement points representing the difference between hand dipped level values, and values measured by the RTG. For still-pipe antennas a sloping line is displayed, otherwise the line is horizontal.

3 Click the Write new calibration data to RTG button in order to save the current calibration data. By clicking the Write new calibration... button, a new Calibration Distance is calculated and the Saab Level values in the Calibration Data window are recalculated.

See the Rex Service manual for further information on calibrating a Rex Radar Level Gauge.
