8130 Remote Terminal Unit
The 8130 Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) supports up to four individual interface modules that can interface to virtually any tank gauge on the market. Each interface module will scan all the connected gauges for measured data such as: level, temperature, density, water level and alarms.
The 8130 RTU also connects to most types of sensors or actuators on your site and to PLCs and DCS computers. All information obtained can be uploaded to the host system for inventory, alarm and control purposes.
- Easily expandable through the use of plug-in modules; reduces cost by integrating all analog, digital and serial data inputs and outputs
- Multiple host ports; adapt to your needs and redundancy requirements
- Support of multiple tank gauge protocols; connect your existing equipment at less cost
- Digital and analog I/O connectivity; allows simple tank farm alarm integration
- Fully compatible with FuelsManager®; tank inventory management made easy
- 8130 RTU and gauge configuration data can be exported to other applications, such as Microsoft Excel® or Access®; document all tank gauge equipment
- Remote configuration of your tank gauges; means less on-tank activities, resulting in less personnel risk
Interface Modules
The 8130 RTU supports up to four modular interface modules. Each module has its own processor for fast and reliable field data scanning. An internal high speed serial data link communicates the data into a central database. The modules make configuration of the internal 8130 RTU database simple and straightforward. Multiple host communication ports provide real-time data to one or multiple host computers.
A range of modules is available for interfacing to nearly any brand of tank gauge equipment or technologies, making it possible to integrate float and tape transmitters, HTG, servo, magnetostrictive and radar gauges. This allows direct gauge communication, making communication protocol converters superfluous, combining all equipment into one tank inventory system.
