1430 Gauge Emulator

Gauge Emulator

Gauging Systems Inc. continues to provide the customer with more choice by providing an intelligent gauge emulator allowing the customer to select any tank gauge without worrying about how to integrate it within their system. Using the Gauge Emulator will allow the seamless integration of different vendor tank gauges to the existing infrastructure of another vendor's system.

Gone are the days when you thought you were tied to one supplier.

The Gauge Emulator is ATEX approved for installation into a Zone 1 hazardous area. It can be mounted alongside the tank gauge or at some other convenient location.

The unit is normally supplied with two field ports, one for talking to the foreign device and the other for sitting on the field bus of the existing tank gauging system and emulating the behavior of the other gauges.

The field ports are plug in units and available with a number of different electrical interfaces allowing connection to most of the major proprietary and open field bus technologies available within the Tank Gauging Market.

The unit polls the foreign device continually for data maintaining an in-memory real-time database. It also services the field bus master for data on demand taking data from the real-time database as required. In addition, the system will carry out any gauge commands supported by the host system and the foreign device.
