Introduction
Terminal automation system (TAS) is designedfor automation of
product receipt, storage and shipping processes.
Scope of Automation
- tank farms;
- loading racks;
- jetties;
- rail terminals.
Actuated equipment
- stop valves;
- loading arms;
- field transit pumps.
Main Features
- remote control, control over process parameters and automated
execution of oil receipt and shipping algorithms;
- automated oil receipt, storage and shipping processes;
- automated received/shipped oil quantity control;
- automated emergency shutdown of valves and pumps;
- loading arm control and monitoring;
- automated process equipment protection and emergency shutdown
system;
- automated operation of utilities equipment;
- independent maintaining of optimum operation modes for process
and utilities equipment;
- detection of equipment failures and operator command execution
failures;
- visualization and registration of the main process variables
and parameters characterizing equipment condition during normal
operation, maintenance and commissioning;
- data processing and transmitting to telemetry systems;
- shipment planning;
- reporting;
- HMI / process visualization;
- event logging.
Structure
TAS is built on redundant PLCs, I/O servers, operator
workstations and LANs.
Benefits
TAS supports numerous standard communication protocols, performs
polling of remote devices and exchanges process information with
third party systems.
TAS software enables individual setup of operator workstations
to different access level and functionality, using uniform sources
of information. It also provides remote access to any operator
workstation.
TAS is compatible with any third party systems via various
communication protocols such as OPC, Modbus, IEC and other.
