APPENDIX 1

How to measure and calculate Sensor positions for Level Transmitter mounting

Y- Position
The Y Position is calculated from the measured values DAFT and TOTAL TANK LENGTH.(See fig. 1
or 2).
Y- POS = TANK LENGTH - SENSOR DISTANCE FROM AFT BULKHEAD (DAFT)

X- Position
The X Position is calculated from the measured values DPS and TOTAL TANK BREADTH.(See fig. 1
or 2).
X- POS = TANK BREADTH - SENSOR DISTANCE FROM PS BULKHEAD (DPS)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF IMC System


The I. M. C. System continuously measures liquid level and temperature, as well as inert gas
pressure in cargo tanks.
This system is based on a distributed data processing architecture, using stand alone TA840
contactless level transmitters installed on top of each tank, and connected to TA840-I safety
module located in cargo control room. The associated inert gas pressure and liquid
temperature information is transmitted to cargo control room by means of T901-P sensor
directly connected to TA840.
A data link from TA840-I to a monitoring system makes it possible then to process level,
temperatures and IG pressure information from the various transmitters and sensors, to
display and monitor the cargo.

TA840 RADAR LEVEL TRANSMITTER

2.1

Principle of level measurement


The TA840 radar is a stand-alone radar type level transmitter using a frequency modulated
continuous wave (FMCW), electromagnetic signal to measure distance between its antenna
and cargo tank content surface (ullage).
As shown here under difference frequency (dF) between emitted and reflected FMCW
signals is proportional directly to ullage. A suitable data processor is able then to calculate
accurate distance.
The microwave signal issued from antenna is directly processed by dedicated signal
processor inside TA840 radar. The calculated ullage in millimeters is directly then sent to
cargo control room.
The liquid cargo temperature up to 3 RTD as well as inert gas pressure can be measured
and digitally transmitted by TA840 radar to cargo control room.

Due to its location in hazardous area on deck, TA840 radar meets EN 50014 and EN 50020
Intrinsic Safety (IS) rules. The power supplies and digital link from each transmitter are
protected by an individual "safety block" located in TA840-I Safety Module installed in cargo
control room.
The classification of TA 840 radar is EEx ia IIB T4 for installation in Zone 0.
The certificate of conformity has been issued from LCIE laboratory with following reference:
LCIE 95.D6119X
The TA 840 radar must only be connected to TA 840-I safety module and T901-P
temperature pressure transmitter.
See paragraph Electrical installation for cables characteristic which can be used.

TA 840-I SAFETY MODULE


The main purpose of TA840-I safety module is to assume intrinsic safety between TA840
radar and cargo monitoring system used on board.

Front panel open

All safety blocks are plugged into TA840-I safety module based on a 3U 19 standard rack,
with up to 8 safety blocks per rack. The next safety blocks will be inserted into as many racks
as needed (modulo 8 blocks per rack).
In front of each safety block, four-status LED show state of both power supply lines and data
transmission between TA840 radar and TA840-I Safety Module.

In addition, a RS232 digital link, located in front of each safety block, allows direct access to
TA840 concerned, particularly during commissioning.

The continuously polling of all TA840 radar is performed by CPU (Control Processing Unit) board
integrated in master rack, which then transmits received data to cargo monitoring system using a
digital link (RS232 or RS485).

Another digital link, in front of processing board, is used for system checking and/or as a low-grade
supervisor output in case of main supervisors failure.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

5.1

TA 840 Level Transmitter


To improve accuracy, we recommend to install TA 840 radar at plumb line of cargo tank's
centre of gravity to minimise correction of trim and list. The best performance is obtained
when it's 10 degrees conical beam can pass through cargo tank to bottom without any

GENERAL PRESENTATION

This document presents the communication protocol used between the TA840-I safety
module of the AUXITROL - I.M.C. System cargo measuring system and, on the one hand, the
main monitoring system, and, on the other hand, the System P.C.

Main monitoring system


Main monitoring link RS232 or RS485

CPU board
TA840-I safety module
(master rack)

Redundant serial link to the main


monitoring system

Portable Control Device

System P.C.
Individual
Indicators

The communication between the TA840-I safety module's master rack and the main
monitoring system is by means of a serial link, and according to a master/slave MODBUS type
protocol.
Similarly, the communication between the TA840-I safety modules master rack and the
System P.C. is also by means of a serial link, and according to the same master/slave
MODBUS type protocol.

DT2395E
REV 05
Page 5/22

Furthermore, the TA840-I safety module communicates with the TA840 Radar transmitters
which are connected to it, and periodically refreshes all the information from the measurements
on the cargo tanks. It can be connected to a 4-20mA acquisition unit (AUXITROL's
MICATRANS A/D type) making possible to receive data from pressure, temperature,
inclinometers, or any 4-20mA transmitters.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
2.1)

Link with the main monitoring system:

This link uses either an RS232 serial port (Sub-D 9 pins) or an RS485 type field bus
(2-wire).
These two connectors are located on the rear of the TA840-I safety module's master
rack.
Selection of the RS232 or RS485 link is done by switching two jumpers located on
the master racks CPU board:
RS232 mode (cable lenght 10 m)
lll
lll

RS485 mode (10m < cable lenght < 500 m)


lll
lll

CPU board
(components side view)

The dialogue frames are made up of words of 10 bits each:


- 1 start bit
- 8 data bits (no parity)
- 1 stop bit
The baud rate of this serial link is programmable by the System P.C. between
1200 and 19200 baud (the default value is set to 9600 baud).

DT2395E
REV 05
Page 6/22

2.2)

Link with the System P.C.:


This link uses an RS232 type serial port (Sub-D 9 pins).
It has several possible functions:
1) Configuration of the safety modules parameters
2) Redundant serial link to the main monitoring system
3) Communication with the Portable Control Device
4) Communication to individual indicators
It is located on the front of the TA840-I safety module master racks CPU board.
Similarly, the dialogue frames are made up of words of 10 bits each:
- 1 start bit
- 8 data bits (no parity)
- 1 stop bit
The baud rate of this serial link is programmable between 1200 and 19200 baud
(9600 baud per default).

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
3.1) General structure of the frames:

The dialogue frames are identical for the two links with the main monitoring system and
the System P.C.
Exchanges are made at the initiative of the monitoring system or of the System P.C.
which operate in master mode, while the TA840-I safety module operates in slave mode.
The monitoring system or the System P.C. send a question to the TA840-I safety
module which answers with the data from the interrogated slave.
The general structure of a question frame is as follows:

These n bytes define:


- the address of the 1st bit
- the address of the 1st word
- the value of the bits
- the value of the words
- the number of bits
- the number of words

The general structure of an "answer" frame is as follows:

These n bytes represent:


- the value of the bits read
- the value of the words read
- the value of the bits written
- the value of the words written
- the number of bits
- the number of words

Control of messages:
The control word CRC 16 is calculated by the sender of a message. On receipt of the
latter, the receiver recalculates the CRC 16 of the frame received and does not answer the
question if it finds the CRC 16 word different.
If the control word CRC 16 is acceptable, but the receiver does not recognise the
question (incorrect address or data), it sends back the code of the function with the most
significant bit (msb) (bit 7) at 1, followed by a byte defining the type of error.

(2 bytes)

Value of the byte:


-1 : function code not known
-2 : address incorrect
-3 : data incorrect
-4 : slave not ready (out of transmission)
-5 : slave de-activated

Method of calculation of the control word CRC 16:


Initialise the CRC at FFFF (hexadecimal)
Do from the 1st byte to the last
CRC xor byte -> CRC
Do 8 times
Shift the CRC by one bit to the right
If the bit output is equal to 1, do CRC xor A001 -> CRC
End do
End do
The least significant byte of the CRC 16 is transmitted first, followed by the most
significant byte:

Ullage of the liquid (@3 and @4):


This is a value measured and transmitted by the TA840 radar.
Ullage (in mm) = (@3) / 10 + (@4)
If the level value is incorrect, the value transmitted is 60000.0 mm.
Mean temperature (@5):
This is the mean temperature value calculated by the TA840-I safety module, on the
basis of the spot temperatures measured and transmitted by the TA840 radar, averaging only
the immersed RTDs.
Mean temperature (in C) = (@5) / 10
In order actually to be taken into account, the three spot RTDs must be validated in the
TA840-I rack (see validation of the RTDs by bits 40 to 42).
The mean temperature can vary from - 40.0C to +120.0C (signed word).
If the mean temperature value is incorrect, the value transmitted is - 50.0C.
Inert gas pressure (@6):
This is a value measured and transmitted by the TA840 radar.
Pressure (in mbar) = (@6) / 10
This value can vary as standard from - 70.0 mbar to +350.0 mbar (signed word). These
two minimum and maximum values are defined at the addresses @25 and @26.
If the pressure value is incorrect, the value transmitted is 3000.0 mbar.
Name of the tank (@7 and @8):
The name of the tank is coded by 4 ASCII characters in addresses @7 and @8.
Example: the tank name 3COT is coded: (@7) HEX = 3343 and (@8) HEX = 4F54.

DT2395E
REV 05
Page 13/22

Spot temperatures (@9, @10 and @11):


These are the three spot RTDs measured and transmitted by the TA840 radar.
They correspond to temperature 1 measured at the top of the tank (address @9),
temperature 2 measured in the middle of the tank (address @10) and temperature 3 measured
at the bottom of the tank (address @11).
The values are transmitted in tenths of C, and vary from - 40.0C to +120.0C.
If a probe is not connected or is missing, a value outside the above range is transmitted.
Max. measurement height (@21):
This value (in mm) represents the distance between the bottom of the tank and the
TA840 radars reference (upper flange of the deck socket).
Radar offset (@22):
This value (in mm) represents the distance between the TA840 radars reference and
the manual sounding devices reference surface. It is used to obtain a direct correspondence
between the measurements carried out by the TA840 radar and the manual sounding device.
By convention, the value is positive if the TA840 radar is below the manual sounding
devices reference.
Minimum pressure of the inert gas transducer (@25):
This value (in tenths of mbar) represents the minimum pressure measured by the
transducer.
By default, this value is -70.0mbar (signed word).
Maximum pressure of the inert gas transducer (@26):
This value (in tenths of mbar) represents the maximum pressure measured by the
transducer.
By default, this value is +350.0mbar (signed word).

Height of the temperature probes (@28, @29 and @30):


These values correspond to the various installation heights of the temperature probes in
relation to the TA840 radars reference (in mm).
The distance in ullage with temperature probe 1 at the top of the tank is stored at
address @28, the distance with temperature probe 2 in the middle of the tank is stored at
address @29, and the distance with temperature probe 3 at the bottom of the tank is stored at
address @30.

Validation of the spot temperature probes (@40, @41 and @42):


Depending on the configuration of the system, these bits are used to validate the spot
temperature probes to be taken into account for the calculation of the mean temperature.
Temperature probe 1 will be validated by setting the bit = 1 at address @40, probe
temperature 2 by setting the bit = 1 at address @41, and probe temperature 3 by setting the bit
= 1 at address @42.

DT2395E

Validation of the inert gas pressure (@43):


This bit is used to validate the taking into account of the inert gas pressure transducer
connected to the TA840 radar.
The measurement of the inert gas pressure is validated by setting the bit = 1 at
address @43.
Taking into account of the offset (@44):
This bit, when it is set at 1, makes it possible to offset the level measurement carried out
by the TA840 radar, by the value of the offset stored at address @22.
Validation of the TA840 radar (@63):
This bit, if it is set at 1, makes it possible to validate the taking into account of the TA840
radar in the TA840-I master racks CPU interrogation cycle.
In particular, if the radar is unavailable, it can be worthwhile to inhibit its interrogation (by
setting this bit to 0), so as not to slow down unnecessarily the interrogation cycle of all the
remaining radars.

1. Purpose
This document presents the MICATRANS A/D Analog to Digital Interface.

2. General description
2.1. Functional Description
The main purpose of the MICATRANS A/D Interface is to scan continuously the
4-20 mA transmitters to which it is connected, to digitize the 4-20 mA analog signal,
and to transmit those data to either a PC based MICAD monitoring system or a
TA 840-I Safety Module.
The number of 4-20 mA channels available on each MICATRANS A/D Interface is up
to:
16, 32 or 48

In case of more than 48 inputs, several MICATRANS A/D Interfaces can be put in
parallel, using a RS485 digital link (see 2.3.2.).
It includes a 24 VDC power source module in order to supply directly the 4-20 mA
transmitters. In case of 4-20 mA transmitter connected through zener barrier, the
0 VDC of the power supply shall be earthed using a strap at the rear of the rack.
An external power supply can also be connected to the MICATRANS A/D Interface,
instead of using the internal one.
In front of the MICATRANS A/D Interface, a LCD display and a numeric key pad
allow the reading of a selected 4-20 mA analog input, directly in percentage or in
mA .

using the numeric key pad 0 ... 9 , and confirm by pressing the # key.
In case of several MICATRANS A/D Interfaces in parallel, the first interface will have
the channel numbers between 1 to 48, the second interface will have the channel
numbers between 49 to 96, the third interface will have the channel numbers
between 97 to 144, and so on...
The channel number 1 (or 49 , or 97 , or...) corresponds to the transmitter
connected to the terminals 1 and 2.
The channel number 2 (or 50 or 98 , or ...) corresponds to the transmitter
connected to the terminals 4 and 5.
The channel number 48 (or 96 , or 144 , or...) corresponds to the
transmitter connected to the terminals 142 and 143.
To change the displayed value from percentage to mA - and reverse -, press
directly the key # .
As soon as the 4-20 mA analog signal becomes lower than 3.3 mA and greater than
21 mA, the displayed value will be respectively:

The principle is based on the absorption of mechanical waves at the tip of the
probe. The mechanical waves are generated and detected by a piezo-electric
ceramic.

Note: due to that principle, the probe must not be painted, it must be cleaned
periodically when used with viscous liquid.

The LIDEC provides a very safe operation, the circuitry includes a fail-safe detection
which activates an alarm for the following:
-

Level alarm,

Electronic failure,

Piezzo-electric ceramic failure,

Power supply failure.

9. SETTING POINT ADJUSTMENT


(See figure on chapter 7)
Potentiometers with red varnish are factory adjustments, not to be modified.
The initial setting point is carried out at the factory for a detection at 5 mm (in water)
above the lowest point of the probe. The sensitivity trimmer allows the adjustment of
the sensitivity of this setting: turning it clockwise decreases the sensitivity.
This adjustment is possible till 10mm from the lowest point of the probe, by
decreasing the sensitivity, or to comply with the acoustic characteristics of the liquid.

10.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TEST


Post commissioning the LIDEC should be checked at routine intervals to ensure it
remains within specified characteristics. This is a achieved by approaching magnet
on top of the housing. Alarm should be activated immediately.

Mounting of stainless steel flexible pipe


The cable-gland body are definitely screwed on remote box housing with a special
compound for tightness, do not try to remove them.
Cables arrive to stainless steel remote box connection terminal through two flexible
pipes delivered with it. This flexible pipe is made, inside, with special rubber and outside,
with stainless steel armoring.
Different lengths are available.
On one side there is a threaded connection to fix to cable protecting pipe and on the
other side is an union coupling to fix to remote box gland.

General procedure for mounting flexible pipe:


-

(4) Washer

Open remote box cover


Remove the plastic protection from body cable gland.
Introduce cable into flexible pipe.
Screw flexible pipe on coupling (3/4 female conic BSPT) from cable
protection pipe (using Teflon tape for good water-tightness).
Add items, (1), (2) with (3) then (4) and (5).
Cut and strike cable.
Introduce cable inside remote box housing.
Screw gland nut (2) to compress sealing ring (5).
Screw and block counter nut (3).
Screw locking nut (6) to gland nut (2) by using two flat wrenches.

5. STARTING UP THE PL3700


5.1.

Verification
Before powering ON PL3700, check the polarity on all the equipment connected to the
processing line.

5.2.

Preliminary check
Power ON PL3700.
Check the output reading ( in mA ) on PL3700 terminal block :
-

5.3.

4 mA if no liquid or no pressure.
4 to 20 mA if liquid or pressure.

Control in working
Compare level of liquid with value indicated on analog indicator or on monitoring system.
INFORMATION
- On analog indicator, scale is indicated and calculated with specific gravity used
to calibrate PL3700. Before comparing level, check if liquid inside tank has same
specific gravity. If it is different, you may have a significant error.
- Indication is without any Trim & Heel correction. If the manual sounding pipe is
not close to the PL3700, you also may have a significant difference.
- For tank with special shape, check if manual sounding pipe is not bent or if end
of pipe is not installed above or below PL3700 position. If yes you have to
compare volume according with manual sounding tables.

5.4.

Setting

Calibration of PL3700 is pre-set in factory and no adjustment is required.


The measuring range is indicated in mbar on transducer and associated remote box.
The indicated value corresponds to maximum hydrostatic pressure calculated as
follow (refer to PTDQ 7 ) :
P = (H-hz) x Sg x 0,981
P = Hydrostatic pressure. (mbar)
H = Total height to gauge. (cm)
Hz = Zero line. (cm)
Sg = Specific gravity of liquid.

Zero calibration (absolute sensor application):


- Immersed installation:
Remove any liquid or pressure (inert gas) from tank.
- Flange installation:
Close isolating valve.
If test flange, remove 1/8 '' NPT plug.
If no test flange dismount the transducer from isolating valve, connect test
pressure equipment with adapted test flange.
- Check mA readings:
Reading will indicate atmospheric pressure X mA.
Before any calibration check existing value from atmospheric pressure.

Example:
PL3700 absolute range: 900 to 1100 mbar.
- 4.00 mA = 900 mbar
- 20.00 mA = 1100 mbar
- Span = 1100 900 = 200 mbar
Actual value from atmospheric pressure = 996 mbar.
Calibration using test pressure equipment.
To test or calibrate absolute pressure sensor, using vacuum test pressure
equipment is recommended. Gauge test pressure equipment can be used
( depending on its capability to generated vacuum pressure ).
Connect test pressure equipment.
Pressure test to apply = 900 mbar ( abs pressure ) or -100 mbar (gauge).
If readings = 4.00 mA, correct.
If readings <> 4.00 mA 0.3%, adjust Zero potentiometer.

Span calibration (gauge sensor application):


- Immersed installation:
Remove any liquid or pressure (inert gas) from tank.
Connect test pressure equipment
- Flange installation:
Close isolating valve.
If test flange, connect test pressure equipment into 1/8 NPT test connection.
If no test flange dismount the transducer from isolating valve, connect test
pressure equipment with adapted test flange.
Apply full range of pressure indicated on transducer or remote box.
Check mA readings:
If readings = 20,00 mA, correct.
If readings <> 20,00 mA 0.3%, adjust Span potentiometer.

In case of change the calibration on an existing tank (zero position or maximum tank
height are changed), you can use the same PL3700 only if new calibration is still inside
70% of full span (check with following example).
If it is not the case, you have to exchange to a new, adapted PL3700 (refer to table
2.2.).

Example:

The measuring range is indicated in mbar on transducer and associated remote box.
The indicated value corresponds to the maximum hydrostatic pressure calculated as
follow (for help use PTDQ 8).
P = (H-hz) x Sg x 0,981
P = Hydrostatic pressure. (mbar)
H = Total height to gauge. (cm)
Hz = Zero line. (cm)
Sg = Specific gravity of liquid.

Existing PL3700 has been calibrated for following tank:


H = 370 cm.
Hz = 5 cm
Sg = 1.025. (Sea water)
P = (370-5) x 1.025 x 0,981 = 367 mbar.
PL3700 to use is range 0. 350/500 mbar,
73.4% of full span (367 / 500 x 100 = 73,4%).
Switch positions are: 3, 5, 6 = ON, 1, 2, 4 = OFF.

Tank is modified with the following values :


H = 350 cm.
Hz = 5 cm
Sg = 1.025 (sea water).
P = (350-5) x 1.025 x 0,981 = 346 mbar.
PL3700 to use is range 0. 250/350mbar,
99% of full span (346 / 350 x 100 = 99%)..
Switch positions are : 4, 6 = ON, 1, 2, 3,5 = OFF.
