Automatic Tank Gauging System for Gas/Petro station (Online monitoring)

Generally of the Automatic Tank Gauging System

Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) system consists of Magnetostrictive Probe and Smart
Console, it is an electronic device, whose basic function is to monitor the fuel level in the tank. It can also tell the operator what is going on inside the tank. In other words, it gives us very important information like fuel level, volume and temperature, water level and volume, high and low fuel level warnings etc. There are different plans to satisfy different customers according to their effective demands.

System configuration

1. Probe (RS485 MODBUS protocol ) + others brand controller
2. Probe (RS485 MODBUS protocol ) + others brand controller +Remote
3. Probe + Console
4. Probe + Console +PC software
5. Probe + Console + Internet Remote (like Mobile APP)
6. Probe + Console + Inter Remote Query

• Smart Console Console 1 or Console 2
• Probe have tube Type 1 & Flexible probe Type 2
• Software: mobile APP /PC web remote software

• Type 1: suit 600-4000mm length, max is 6000mm length if delivery by sea
• Type 2: suit 4000-18000mm length, flexible sensor, good delivery by air and by sea
• Console 1: Very Popular, because of the good price, support 1-12 tanks
• Console 2: More higher level than Console 1, for internet remote work, it like one mobile can auto get the IP, no need to set by manual! Price also higher than Console 1, support 1-16 tanks.
• Remote software mobile & PC all for free

Console 2 and Display
