The TankRadar Rex and Pro radar based tank gauging system include Smart Wireless functionality. They can be installed in a storage tank farm without the need to install costly long distance signal wiring. Tank gauging data from remotely located tanks, previously collected manually or not at all, can now be easily integrated into the control system. A Smart Wireless Thum Adapter is easily installed on existing HART fi eld instruments to free up diagnostics and process information that had previously been inaccessible. The Adapter provides the wireless interface between the radar gauge and the TankMaster inventory software or host/DCS system via WirelessHART communication with 99.9% data reliability. The self organising mesh network ensures uninterrupted data communication in an environment with large obstacles such as storage tanks. Every THUM Adapter serves as a network connector and backup so there is no single point of failure. All data transfer is protected by 128-bit encryption.
