Tank Gauging Emulation:
The poor performance and high cost of maintaining old mechanical level gauges no
longer needs to be accepted. With proven emulation technology, users of tank gauging
systems have the option to upgrade legacy or non-performing gauges with modern replacements from
alternative suppliers without the concern of fieldbus protocol compatibility issues.
The challenges usually presented by partial or complete upgrades are avoided, enabling the
latest radar-based level technology to be installed with minimal disturbance to
operations.
As well as emulating a range of proprietary gauge fieldbuses, Emerson’s solution can
also communicate with open standard fieldbuses, such as FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus or
Modbus®.
In addition to gauge emulation, Emerson also provides ‘master’ emulation which
enables exchange of old control room equipment.
