Applications
Inventory control
By using Tankvision Multi Scan to monitor the tank level and stored volume of valuable liquids remotely, owners or operators of tank farms or terminals for petroleum products and chemicals (liquids) can visualize the volume of the stored medium in real time. The data can be used to plan the inventory and distribution. The data can also be used to manage tank farm operations like pumping or transferring products. Tankvision has its unique concept using network technology. Without using proprietary software, the users can visualize and manage their valuable liquids stored in the tanks by a web browser. Tankvision Multi Scan is a flexible and cost effective solution due to its scalable architecture. The application coverage goes from small depots with only a few tanks up to refineries.
Inventory Calculations
Tankvision Multi Scan calculates based on measured variables and tank capacity tables:

Introduction Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B
3 Introduction
The Multi Scan NXA83B is a configurable system designed for tank gauging and tank inventory management systems.
Redundant operation with a pair of Multi Scan NXA83B linked together is supported, so that only one NXA83B will poll the gauges. The other Multi Scan NXA83B will automatically update its database with live data from the active Multi Scan NXA83B.
This mode of redundancy is called Switch By System and this document outlines the configuration and operation of the two Multi Scan NXA83B.
There are two other modes of redundancy, both of which operate on a single Multi Scan
NXA83B (i.e. not a redundant pair):
• Switch By Gauge : Gauges are configured with two ports (Primary and Backup) on the same Multi Scan NXA83B. If the Multi Scan NXA83B loses connection to a gauge on one port it will switch to poll the gauge from the other port. This is on an individual gauge basis, thus both Primary and Backup ports may be polling at the same time.
• Switch By Interface : This is similar the switch by Gauge, except that the Multi Scan
NXA83B will poll ALL gauges on only one port (i.e. Primary on startup). Only when communication to all gauges has failed on this port will the Multi Scan NXA83B switch to poll gauges from the other port. Thus the Primary and Backup ports will never poll at the same time.
This manual is solely concerned with the redundancy functionality, it is assumed that the user has read the Multi Scan NXA83B manuals and is familiar with configuring a Multi Scan
NXA83B database.

The two NXA83B have a number of field loops (2 Enraf BPM in this example) connected to both Multi Scan NXA83B.
There are also 2 Control links connected between the NXA83B, these are used to transfer data between the systems, one for each direction of data transfer.
In normal operation one Multi Scan NXA83B will be in Live Polling mode, that is, polling for all field data from the gauges. The other Multi Scan NXA83B will be in Redundant Link mode, and it will be getting data from the live Multi Scan NXA83B via one of the Control
Links.
Therefore both Multi Scan NXA83B will have live field data, which will be displayed on screen and be available on any slave (Modbus etc.) port or OPC connection. Slave ports may
9
Switch By System Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B be configured to not reply on the passive system, to mimic functionality in older equipment such as the Datacon.
If one of the field ports on the live system does not receive a correctly formatted reply for longer than the timeout period (default 60 seconds), it will be marked as failed and initiate a switch. This will cause the Multi Scan NXA83B to stop polling all field ports and switch to
Redundant Link mode.
An event will be generated to inform the user that the system is now passive.
NXA83_Alarm-Event-Viewer_Redundant-Mode-Switched-To-Passive
The second Multi Scan NXA83B will detect this change, switch to Live Polling mode and start to poll all the field ports for gauge data.
An event will be generated in the second Multi Scan NXA83B to inform the user that the system is now active and polling for gauge data.
NXA83_Alarm-Event-Viewer_Redundant-Mode-Switched-To-Active
During the switchover, no data will be lost and no gauging alarms will be raised in the Multi
Scan NXA83B or in any connected tank gauging software.
If, following the switch, the field port on the second Multi Scan NXA83B also fails to receive correctly formatted data then a No Reply From Gauge alarm will be generated for each gauge on that field port.
If at any time an individual gauge fails on a port (i.e. does not reply), but other gauges are returning valid data, the failed gauge will immediately be set to error and an alarm raised.
This will not trigger a switch.

Endress+Hauser
Switch By System
4.2
Port Latching
If a port has failed on both Multi Scan NXA83B the system will "Latch" for that port. A
Latched port will not trigger redundancy mode switching. This state will remain until valid communications is restored to the port. If the second Multi Scan NXA83B is not connected or powered up, all ports will latch and no switching will occur.
Latching does not affect other ports, so if an unlatched port fails redundant mode switching will occur as normal.
4.3
Boot Up
Multi Scan NXA83B which are configured as "Switch by System" will initially boot up in
Redundant Link mode and check to see if there is a Multi Scan NXA83B in Live Polling Mode.
If a Multi Scan NXA83B in Redundant Link mode does not find a "Live" system within a timeout period it will switch to Live Polling mode. The timeout period contains a random element, so that if two Multi Scan NXA83B boot at exactly the same time, one should always switch to Live Polling before the other.
If there are no Control Link connections between the two systems both will eventually switch to Live Polling mode.
4.4
Slave interfaces
All slave interfaces (Modbus, Datacon etc) by default operate as normal when used on redundant Multi Scan NXA83B. They will reply to requests whether they are running on the
Live Polling or Passive system, as both systems have valid live data.
However there may be applications where the master system requires that only slave interfaces running on the Live Polling system reply to requests. For instance if both Multi
Scan NXA83B are multi-dropped on the same interface and have the same addresses etc.
In this case the Slave port should be configured with the Do Not Reply When Passive option ticked in the Port Config tool. See later section on Slave Port Configuration for details on
where this can be found, → ä 16.
If this option is ticked then the slave interface will not reply to any requests if it is running on the Passive system.
4.5
Mode display and control
The current redundancy mode may be displayed via the Communications Monitor, which can be accessed from a remote control session or from the operator touch screen. For full details on accessing and using the Communications Monitor, refer to the DCC Communications
Configuration manual BA01292G.
The redundancy mode is normally automatically selected by the two Multi Scan NXA83B systems which between them will determine which system is Active and which is Passive. A
Multi Scan NXA83B will boot up in the Passive mode and only go Active if it detects that the other system is either not running or is in Passive mode as well.
However there may be times when the mode requires to be manually controlled, in which case this can be carried out using the Communications Monitor redundancy screen. It can be used to initiate a manual switchover or to set the two systems to never switch, for instance when some maintenance work is to be carried out.
When a Multi Scan NXA83B is rebooted it will always start in automatic (Dynamic) switchover mode.
11
Switch By System Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B
The redundancy state screen in the Communications Monitor can be displayed by clicking on the Redundancy button.
NXA83_Redundancy_001
The fields displayed on this screen will include the following:
• Redundancy Type – this shows the type of redundancy configured for this Multi Scan
NXA83B. It will also show the current switching mode if the redundancy is set to Switch
By System .
• System Polling State – this shows the current polling state, ACTIVE or PASSIVE . It will always show ACTIVE if the redundancy type is NOT Switch By System .
• Last Switch Time – the time that the last switchover occurred in a Switch By System redundant system. If the redundancy type is not Switch By System or a switchover has not occurred then this field will be blank.
• Last Fail Reason – If a switchover has occurred then this will indicate the cause and can be one of the following:
– Field Port Failed
– Manual command
– Control Port detected other system passive
– Control Port detected both systems active
If the redundancy type is not Switch By System or a switchover has not occurred then this field will be blank.
• Last Field Port Fail – this COM port number of the last field port to fail and trigger a redundant switchover.
The Command field allows a set of redundant actions to be selected.
12
NXA83_Redundancy_002
The command action will not be carried out until the OK button is clicked and the
Redundancy Status screen is closed.
When initiating a manual switchover, the recommended procedure is to select the Set
System PASSIVE command on the system that is currently ACTIVE.

Configuration
4.6.1
Redundancy Control Port Configuration
The first step to configuring a redundant database on the Multi Scan NXA83B is to configure the redundancy mode. This is set using the Port Configuration module in the
Communications menu.
Click on the Host Comms tab, and set the Redundancy Settings to Switch By System .
14
NXA83_Port-Configuration_Host-Comms_Switch-By-System
The Configure button will now be enabled. Click this button to determine the method of connecting the control links between the two Multi Scan NXA83B.
NXA83_Redundancy_004
There are five options to select from:
• COM ports 1 and 2 used for Control Ports : The Multi Scan NXA83B automatically configures the communications ports for redundancy. Ensure that COM 1 and COM 2 are
NOT selected as "In Use" as either Host or Slave ports. Connect a Serial Cross-over lead from
COM 1 on one Multi Scan NXA83B to COM 2 on the other for both Multi Scan NXA83B.
This is the recommended method of connecting the control links.
Endress+Hauser
Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B Switch By System
• COM ports 7 and 8 used for Control Ports : The Multi Scan NXA83B automatically configures the communications ports for redundancy. Ensure that COM 7 and COM 8 are
NOT selected as "In Use" as either Host or Slave ports. Connect a Serial Cross-over lead from
COM 7 on one Multi Scan NXA83B to COM 8 on the other for both Multi Scan NXA83B.
• Manual Selection of Control Ports : This option must be selected when the control ports have been manually configured. There must be two control ports configured:
– 1 DCC Host port configured as a Redundant Link Control protocol.
– 1 DCC Slave port configured as a Redundant Link Control protocol.
These can be either standard RS232 COM ports (recommended for manual configuration) or Network ports. The communication parameters should be set identically for both Multi
Scan NXA83B.
In operation the Host Redundant Link Control is connected to the Slave Redundant Link
Control of the other system, and vice-versa.
Endress+Hauser
NXA83_Port-Configuration_Host-Comms
• Network used for Control Ports : The Multi Scan NXA83B automatically configures network ports for redundancy. The Network address of the second Multi Scan NXA83B must be supplied in the Network Address field. Both Multi Scan NXA83B must be connected to the same network, or have a Network Cross-over lead connected between the
Ethernet ports of the two Multi Scan NXA83B. Connection using a Network Cross-over lead is not a recommended method for Redundant Link since it prevents access to the
Multi Scan NXA83B operating system using a remote desktop connection.
• No Control Ports Used : If this option is selected both Multi Scan NXA83B will default to
Live polling mode. This option should NOT be used for Switch By System redundancy.
15
Switch By System Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B
4.6.2
Field Port and Slave Port Configuration
Next configure all field ports in the Host Comms page as normal, except that the redundancy operation may be modified for individual ports by editing the R edundancy Settings section of the COM port Settings dialog.
16
NXA83_COM-Port-Settings
For Host ports the following settings may be adjusted:
• Do Not Trigger Redundant Switch : If ticked the port will not trigger a switchover if it fails
• Timeout Period : The time period for determining if the port has failed. If no replies are received from devices on the port for longer than this period a switchover will be triggered.
Defaults to 60 seconds.
For Slave ports the following setting may be adjusted:
• Do Not Reply When Passive : The port will not reply to any requests if it is running on the passive system.
4.6.3
Current Loop Board Configuration
When using Current Loop interface boards with redundant systems (such as when interfacing to Whessoe WM500/550 devices) the following should be implemented:
Set the Flow Control Field to Redundant .

4.6.5
Gauge Configuration
After the interfaces have been configured, the gauges must be configured for redundant operation.
To do this, select the gauge in the Gauge Configuration screen in the Configurator tools.
Endress+Hauser
NXA83_Device-Configuration
Set the Comm Port field to be the field port (i.e. the port that the gauges are connected to).
There is no need to enter port a Backup COM Port field, so leave blank.
Firmware Versions before 3.0.6 do require the Backup COM Port field to be the Host
Redundant Link Control port. To display this field click on the Advanced button.
4.7
Configuring Tankvision Professional NXA85 to talk to a pair of redundant Multi Scan NXA83B
A PC running the Tankvision Professional NXA85 tank gauging software may be used on conjunction with a pair of redundant pair of Multi Scan NXA83B.
It must be connected to the Multi Scan NXA83B by one of the following:
• RS232, RS485 or RS422, using a pair of serial communication ports on the PC (one for each Multi Scan NXA83B).
• Ethernet, with the PC and both Multi Scan NXA83B connected via a switch or similar.
This section will give some notes on what to configure, but refer to the DCC Configuration manual (BA01292G) for more details on configuring Tankvision Professional NXA85.
4.7.1
Multi Scan NXA83B Configuration
Each Multi Scan NXA83B should be configured with a slave interface to communicate with the VTW, using the Datacon protocol. The screen shot shows it configured as a network interface.

Tankvision Professional NXA85 Port Configuration
In the Tankvision Professional NXA85 system configure a pair of Host COM ports using the
Datacon protocol, one connected to each Multi Scan NXA83B. These may be either physical serial COM ports (COM 1 +) or network ports (COM 71 +).
Set the Redundancy settings mode to Switch By Gauge .
Endress+Hauser

4.7.3
Gauge Configuration
Gauges should be configured as normal in Tankvision Professional NXA85.
22
NXA83_Device-Configuration_Common-Configuration
Ensure that the Data Collection Device index is set to correct index of the device in the
Multi Scan NXA83B. Alternatively it can be left as zero if the device name is exactly the same on Tankvision Professional NXA85 and Multi Scan NXA83B.
Set the Local COM Port and the Backup COM Port to the two interfaces configured for the datacon protocol
4.7.4
Tankvision Professional NXA85 Redundant Operation
Tankvision Professional NXA85 will attempt to poll for gauge data on the Local COM Port initially. If the data for the gauge is all invalid then it will switch individual gauges to poll on the backup COM Port. During the switch there will be no loss of data.
If the Multi Scan NXA83B initiate a redundant switchover then there should be no loss of data in Tankvision Professional NXA85 and assuming both Multi Scan NXA83B are still operational then Tankvision Professional NXA85 will not switch its ports.
If an interface port fails completely, for instance if the link between the PC and a Multi Scan
NXA83B is broken or the Multi Scan NXA83B loses power, then Tankvision Professional
NXA85 will switch all gauges to its other port. During the switch there will be no loss of data, but alarms will be generated.
If the interface port is via Ethernet (COM 71+) then the following alarms will be generated:
• DCC Comms Failure (60 seconds after failure)
• Device Disconnected (20 to 30 seconds after failure)
• Failed To Connect (5 to 10 seconds later)
Endress+Hauser
Tankvision Multi Scan NXA83B Switch By System

If the interface port is via a physical serial port then only the DCC Comms Failure will be generated.
4.7.5
Multi Scan NXA83B System Monitor
The Tankvision Professional NXA85 system can be configured to poll for diagnostic information from the Multi Scan NXA83B device itself. This is then used to generate events to notify the Tankvision Professional NXA85 user when a redundant switchover occurs on the Multi Scans NXA83B.
To enable this feature, configure System Monitor devices in the Tankvision Professional
NXA85, one for each Multi Scan NXA83B.
