Tank Level Monitoring — Tanker
Renewal of a cargo tank level monitoring system that no longer read the tanks on a tanker; the PLC program and SCADA software were rewritten, and the levels of all cargo and slop tanks are monitored in mm on a ship outline in the cargo control room.
About the project
We renewed the cargo tank level monitoring system of a tanker. The existing system no longer read the tanks, so levels could not be followed during cargo operations. We rewrote the PLC program and the SCADA software; the screen in the cargo control room now shows the levels of the port and starboard cargo tanks No.1–5 and the slop tanks in mm on a ship outline.
The signals from the level transmitters in the tanks are collected by the PLC and transferred to the SCADA; level, bar indicator and alarm levels are displayed for every tank. The screen is operated with an industrial monitor and trackball fitted into the existing console.
The system was commissioned on board and the level readings were verified against the tank tables.
