Overview VISY-Command Web is an evaluation unit of type VISY-Command with a SECON-Client display and web connection for local and remote display of data and alarms from the VISY-X and the optional VAPORIX system. The VISY-X system is used for data processing and evaluation of tanks with light liquids as well as for environmental monitoring.

Safety instructions The system is used for data recording and evaluation from tank sensors, environmental sen- sors and optionally vapour recovery. Use the system exclusively for this purpose. The man- ufacturer accepts no liability for any form of damage resulting from improper use. The system devices have been developed, manufactured and tested in accordance with the latest good engineering practices and generally accepted safety standards.
VISY-Command Web Types VISY-Command Web is an evaluation unit of type VISY-Command with display for show- ing the current tank data, delivery data and various alarms recorded by the VISY-X and op- tionally the VAPORIX system. The name of the VISY-Command Web depends on the number of sensor terminals, the model, or the transmission technology.
SECON-X functionality VISY-Command Web has an integrated SECON-Client user interface and can therefore be operated with the functionality of the SECON-X system. The SECON-X system is a universal hardware-software network system for the recording, evaluation and presentation of petrol station data with a worldwide data access, web inter- face, local and remote display, remote evaluation, and data backup.
Installation Mounting The VISY-Command Web must be installed outside of potentially explosive areas. The VISY-Command Web must be mounted inside a building. It is not suitable for outdoor installation. For installing and operating the VISY-Command Web evaluation unit, the regu- lations of Industrial Safety and Health Regulations and the Technical Rules for Operational Safety as well as the generally accepted rules of engineering and this manual must be observed.

Display Printer (optional) Figure 4: VISY-Command Web housing door, interior view When the housing door of the VISY-Command is opened, there is a risk of electric shock on touching conductive parts! Since the evaluation unit is designed to be supplied from the mains, an overcur- rent protection device (fuses, circuit breakers, thermal releases, current-limiting impedances or similar devices) must be connected upstream.
Connection of the VISY sensors 4.2.1 Connection cable The connection cable between the sensors and the VISY-Command Web must have the following properties: 4-core unshielded, oil-resistant cable • Cable cross-section (4 x 0.5 mm² up to 100 m or 4 x 1.0 mm² up to 200 m) •...
At each sensor terminal it is possible to connect up to three different VISY-Stick/Reed types of FAFNIR sensors (e.g. one VISY-Stick, one VISY-Stick Interstitial and one VISY-Reed Sump). The different sensor types can be connected to each other in parallel directly at the installa- tion point.

4.4.3 Host interface (RS-232/RS-485) The serial host interface (galvanically isolated) for communication with a higher-level sys- tem (e.g. POS) is available as RS-232 or RS-485 interface. Various protocols can be used for transferring data to the petrol station computers. The data protocol for the interface can be selected using the VISY-Setup software by entering a host code.
4.4.4 Expansion interface (RS-485) The expansion interface is a galvanically isolated serial RS-485 interface by which the data can be transmitted to other system components (e.g. if the host interface is busy). The in- terface is unidirectional. This means that data is only sent from VISY-Command Web to the system components connected there.
4.4.5 DIP switch S2 for bias (RS-485 host/extension) With the DIP switch S2, the RS-485 host interface (2.1/2.2) and the RS-485 extension inter- face (2.3/2.4) can be biased when required, in order to achieve a significant improvement of communication security. DIP switch S2: RS-485 bias Function Bias off (factory setting)
Supply voltage connection The supply of auxiliary power (electrical connection) must be carried out as a fixed installa- tion (no plug installation), and is ducted through the lower right cable gland, see Figure 5. Connect the supply voltage to the corresponding terminal blocks only after the VISY-Command Web has been completely wired.

Operation Applications The VISY-Command Web is operated via a touch-screen display and can be used with the VAPORIX application for monitoring the vapour recovery, with the LEVEL application for filling level measurement, and with the Environmental application including Oil separator monitoring, also see the following manuals: ...
5.1.2 LEVEL application With the LEVEL application, the filling levels of the individual fuel tanks is monitored and evaluated, see the following figure: Figure 11: LEVEL application 5.1.3 Environmental application With the environmental application, leakages, drip trays (sumps) and oil separators are checked and monitored, see the following figure: Figure 12: Application of environmental sensors Operation...
Status display of the VI-4 board After switching on or resetting the VI… interface, the firmware checksum is initially checked. If an error in the firmware is detected, the display shows permanently SE (Signa- ture Error). Otherwise, the firmware version of the interface is displayed. This is shown in form of three numbers displayed in sequence, e.
