4.9 Emulator (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.
4.9.1 Parameters
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:
