Monitoring Tank Movements NT 5000 allows users to record the start and end dips of tank movements. During tank movement the approximate Flow Rate is calculated for the changing liquid level and displayed on the movement page, and the progress on the column shows the quantity of product received / delivered in real time. Users can examine an extensive range of tank data. The windows in which clients can access this data are the Inventory, Set Up, Gauge, Alarms, Alarms Log, Movement and PLC (See Screen Shots). Graphs Graphical displays of data are available within the NT 5000 system. The user can opt to trend, Level / Temperature / Gross Volume, for any tank within any selected periods of time. Furthermore, an alarm bar chart is also available to illustrate alarms generated within the system for the given time period. The system can achieve a number of forms of graph types such as 3D depth, line graphs. Security The integrated security system has five levels, each operator is allocated one of these levels. Some information or control can therefore remain the responsibility of selected personnel. The system identifies what level the current user has been allocated, through their unique password. Compatibility The software communicates with a wide variety of tank gauges. It currently communicates with the complete range of Motherwell Control Systems tank gauges (Foat, Servo, Radar, Intelligent Transmitter Boards). Whessoe Servo and Float Gauges, Modbus compatible systems, AS400 systems, ASCII compatible systems, GE Fanuc PLC range, Mitsubishi PLC range, 123 compatible systems etc. The system has an open architecture allowing new hardware / technologies to be easily supported. They systems database is paradox based and is therefore ODBC compliant. Motherwell control systems can provide ODBC integrated systems to allow easy reporting on live tank gauging to word, Excel, Access and any other ODBC compliant system. Main Benefits: User friendly designed for NT Windows The system automatically backs up its own system Concentrated security - six tier system with a password driven data entry system Interactive Help system On Line support Highly user configurable Custom Screen formats and report layouts are available on request Tel: +44 (0)1744 815 211 Fax: +44 (0)1744 814 497 St Michael's Road, Lea Green Industrial Estate, St Helens, Merseyside, WA9 4WZ United Kingdom www.motherwellcontrolsystems.co.uk E-mail: sales@motherwellcs.com
