Integration into the tank gauging system
The Endress+Hauser Tank Side Monitor NRF590 provides integrated communications for sites with multiple
tanks, each with one or more sensors on the tank, such as radar, spot or average temperature, capacitive probe
for water detection and/or pressure sensors. Multiple protocols out of the Tank Side Monitor guarantee
connectivity to nearly any of the existing industry standard tank gauging protocols. Optional connectivity of
analog 4 to 20 mA sensors, digital I/O and analog output simplify full tank sensor integration. Use of the proven
concept of the intrinsically safe HART bus for all on-tank sensors yields extremely low wiring costs, while at
the same time providing maximum safety, reliability and data availability.

System integration via Fieldgate
Vendor Managed Inventory
By using Fieldgates to interrogate tank or silo levels remotely, suppliers of raw materials can provide their
regular customers with information about the current supplies at any time and, for example, account for them
in their own production planning. For their part, the Fieldgates monitor the configured level limits and, if
required, automatically activate the next supply. The spectrum of options here ranges from a simple purchasing
requisition via e-mail through to fully automatic order administration by coupling XML data into the planning
systems on both sides.
Remote maintenance of measuring equipment
Fieldgates not only transfer the current measured values, they also alert the responsible standby personnel, if
required, via e-mail or SMS. In the event of an alarm or also when performing routine checks, service
technicians can diagnose and configure connected HART devices remotely. All that is required for this is the
corresponding HART operating software (e.g. FieldCare, etc.) for the connected device. Fieldgate passes on the
information transparently, so that all options for the respective operating software are available remotely. Some
local service operations can be avoided by using remote diagnosis and remote configuration and all others can
at least be better planned and prepared.
