Symptom

Possible cause

 

Action

 

 

 

 

No communication with one or

Wiring

Check that the devices appear in the Device Live List

more devices on the Tankbus

 

 

(see “Device Live List” on page 6-4).

 

 

Check diagnostics information, see “Diagnostics” on

 

 

 

page 6-7for warning or error messages.

 

 

Check that wires are properly connected to the

 

 

 

terminals.

 

 

Check for dirty or defective terminals.

 

 

Check wire insulation for possible short circuits to

 

 

 

ground.

 

 

Check diagnostics information (see “Diagnostics” on

 

 

 

page 6-7) for information that indicate bad

 

 

 

communication on the Tankbus:

 

 

 

- Input registers 1300 to 1328 provide general

 

 

 

information on Tankbus communication

 

 

 

- Input registers 1330 to 1648 provide information on

 

 

 

specific devices on the Tankbus.

 

 

Check diagnostics information (see “Diagnostics” on

 

 

 

page 6-7) for possible hardware faults that indicate

 

 

 

short circuits or ground faults:

 

 

 

- check Input Register 1326 for short circuits

 

 

 

- check Input Register 1328 for ground faults.

 

 

Check that there are no multiple shield grounding points

 

 

Check that the cable shield is grounded at the power

 

 

 

supply end (2410 Tank Hub) only.

 

 

Check that the cable shield is continuous throughout

 

 

 

the Tankbus network.

 

 

Check that the shield inside the instrument housing

 

 

 

does not come into contact with the housing.

 

 

Check that there is no water in conduits.

 

 

Check for proper polarity at the terminals (Rosemount

 

 

 

5300 and 5400).

 

 

Use shielded twisted pair wiring.

 

 

Connect wiring with drip loops.

 

 

• Check the loop impedance.

 

 

 

 

 

Incorrect Tankbus termination

Check that there are two terminators on the Tankbus

 

 

 

(see section “Tankbus” on page 3-8).

 

 

Check that terminations are placed at both ends of the

 

 

 

Tankbus.

 

 

Check that the built-in termination in the 2410 Tank Hub

 

 

 

is enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

Too many devices on the Tankbus

Check that the total current consumption of the devices

 

 

 

on the Tankbus is less than 250 mA, see “Power

 

 

 

Budget” on page 3-7.

 

 

• Remove one or more devices from the Tankbus. The

 

 

 

2410 Tank Hub supports a single tank. The multiple

 

 

 

tank version of the 2410 supports up to 10 tanks.

 

 

 

 

 

Cables are too long

Check that the input voltage on the device terminals is

 

 

 

9 V or more (see section “Tankbus” on page 3-8).

 

 

 

 

 

Software or hardware failure

Check diagnostics information, see “Diagnostics” on

 

 

 

page 6-7.

 

 

Check Device Status input register, see “Device Status”

 

 

 

on page 6-23.
