Connect Tank Gauges Over the Network

An underground system can now reach its automatic tank gauge over a network connection, as an alternative to the RS-232 serial cable.

ATG connection settings with a choice between a serial and a network connection

Many stations already have their automatic tank gauge on the site network. Running a dedicated serial cable to reach it adds installation work that the network makes unnecessary.

What Is New

  • A choice of connection — each underground system can connect to its automatic tank gauge over the network, or through the traditional RS-232 serial connection
  • Set up with the system — the connection type, address, and port are entered when the system is onboarded or its connection is updated
  • Same command set either way — the ATG command set, such as Veeder-Root TLS-350, is selected the same way for both connection types

Why It Matters

Sites with network-connected tank gauges can be brought onto the platform without serial cabling, which simplifies installation and makes use of infrastructure that is already in place.
