9.Connection to Computer Networks

A host computer can be connected either to a PC with TankMaster

Software or directly to the Field Communication Units (FCUs).

The Rosemount TankRadar REX system can be connected to all major DCS systems, such as Foxboro, Honeywell, Rosemount and Yokogawa. New interfaces can be developed on request. For a complete list of the available interfaces, please contact Emerson Process Management/ Rosemount Tank Gauging or one of its representatives.

9.1Connect to the FCU for Quick Updates

When a host computer is connected to one or several FCUs, measured data such as level, average temperature, pressure, etc. can be transferred to the host system. If the host system has inventory functions, a connection directly to the FCUs is recommended.

9.2Connect to TankMaster for Inventory Data

When a host computer is connected to the TankMaster, calculated data such as volume, mass and density can be communicated in addition to the measured data mentioned in chapter 9.1 above.
