Section 5. Installing a Raptor Level Gauging System
5.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
5.1.1 Preparations Before installing a Rosemount Tank Gauging system you should ensure that
the following information is available:
• A plan of all field devices and tanks.
• Unit IDs of each device (Unit ID is a unique identifier given to each
Raptor device at factory).
• Modbus addresses of level devices and ATD devices. The Raptor
devices are shipped with default addresses which will be changed at
system configuration. The Modbus addresses are configured in the
Slave Database of the 2160 FCU and the Tank Database of the 2410
Tank Hub as described below.
• Tank geometry parameters and reference distances such as tank
reference height (R) and distance between Zero level (datum plate)
and tank bottom.
• Antenna types used for the various level gauges.
5.1.2 Installation
Procedure
Installation and configuration of a Rosemount Raptor level gauging system
includes the following steps as briefly described below:
1 Communication Protocol Setup
Specify communication protocol parameters:
• The Modbus Master Protocol handles communication between a
TankMaster work station and field devices such as the Rosemount
2160 Field Communication Unit and the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub.
• The Slave Protocol handles communication with a host computer.
• Communication with TankMaster can be supervised by logging various
error types and function codes.
2 Preferences
Specify measurement units, tag prefixes for tank and device labels,
inventory parameters, and parameters to be displayed when viewing tank
data.
3 Installation and Configuration of 2160 Field Communication Unit
The Rosemount 2160 Field Communication Unit (FCU) has to be installed
and configured prior to installing other devices such as a Rosemount 2410
Tank Hub and a Rosemount 5900S Radar Level Gauge.
To install a Rosemount 2160 FCU:
• Assign a Modbus communication address
• For each communication port, configure protocol and appropriate
communication parameters
• Configure the Slave Database with information about the devices
connected to the fieldbus
