8315 L&J Tankway Software Description

TankGate Interface

 

 

4.9Emulator (EMU)

The Emulator point allows the TankGate to emulate a Whessoe-Varec Model 6820 Tank Scanning Unit (TSU). This point provides access for level, temperature data, and gauge status information from any type of tank gauge interface supported by the TankGate.

4.9.1Parameters

The database parameters used by the EMU point are listed and described below:

Configuration Parameters

Function

 

 

Tag

The point description can contain 30 bytes of data and can

 

include any printable ASCII character. Descriptions can be used

 

as information relevant to any aspect of the point, such as its

 

use, location, operating information, etc. The default

 

description is set to “EMU.00”.

 

 

LevelUnits

Specifies the engineering units for the level data.

 

F: feet, m: Millimeters

 

M: Meters

 

I: Inches

 

P: ft-in-16ths

 

The LevelUnits need to match the units specified during the

 

gauge setup.

 

 

TempUnits

Specifies the engineering units for the temperature data.

 

TempUnitsSpecifies the engineering units for the temperature

 

data.

 

F: Fahrenheit

 

C: Celsius

 

The TempUnits needs to match the units specified during the

 

gauge setup.

 

 

DensityUnits

Specifies the engineering units for the density data.

 

DensityUnitsSpecifies the engineering units for the density data.

 

K: kg/m3

 

A: API

 

L=lbs/cu ft

 

The DensityUnits needs to match the units specified during the

 

gauge setup.

 

 

PntRef1 - 50

Input point reference for the EMU point to monitor. The PntRef

 

parameter is set to the Level parameter for the tank gauge point.

 

The temperature will be read at the same time as the level. The

 

EMU point interfaces tank gauge interface points:
