USER DISPLAY SETTINGS: Display settings on the LP3 can be modified by the end user, including editing the menu list of products selections, and/or specific gravities. Using the “administrator” access, they can even change the tank display arrangement on each screen page.

NOTE: Unless a copy of these changes (via CF card) is provided to KING-GAGE®, A NOSHOK Company, the configuration update file we provide when revised or duplicate iButton datapacks are ordered will not replicate the edited user display settings.

An intuitive operator display panel depicts tank levels with capability to include setpoints (alarm) monitoring. Change to the spreadsheet view for product scheduling or inventory reporting. Specific tank status details are available in a simple drilldown page for commissioning or troubleshooting. The 10.4-in. TFT color display is mounted within a Stainless Steel enclosure or as a flush mounting remote panel.

LP3 system uses specialized processor modules that read the transmitter 4-20 mA signals. These inputs are digitized, scaled (linearized) and converted into volumetric or fluid mass measurement units by correlating to the specific tank geometry. This programming is pre-configured at the factory with data typically generated by dimensional information from a tank manufacturer's plan drawing. Alternatively, volumetric capacity may be taken from an available strapping table or through a physical wet calibration of a tank.

While it is common to input level transmitter signals directly to analog I/O cards at the PLC, this approach requires considerable investment into the controller's programming (especially for horizontal tanks or other non-linear vessels). Since the LP3 system accomplishes the A/D conversion process, it eliminates the need for the PLC to allocate and manage I/O specifically for the transmitter inputs. More importantly, by performing the scaling functions independently, it frees up the PLC to focus on the batching and control functions (with register values loaded directly from the LP3 interface).

The benefits of this approach include better data integrity with PLC performance now dedicated to more critical aspects of your process. Because data acquisition is an integral function of the KING-GAGE® LP3 system, coupled with the network connectivity including Ethernet, it is much simpler to share tank level inventory data across the process floor or even to a corporate enterprise.

LP3 system software affords a high degree of accuracy and security. HMI display configurations are stored in FLASH memory while application data is isolated within an iButton datapack (non-volatile RAM).

The LP3 system has been designed to function for plant operations personnel while providing a level of data security to assure peace of mind. There are three (3) levels of password access to permit local or remote administrative functions.

LP3 Tank View Display - Up to 8 concurrent tanks graphically displayed on each screen (with support for four separate Tank View pages). Combine optional level set points for a complete monitoring solution designed to be user-friendly. A simple bargraph icon conveys tank level status at a glance.

LP3 Drill Down Detail - The color touchscreen allows quick access to details including engineering units selection, tank capacity, and communications status. Configuration settings are readily visible from each tank’s detail screen. (Access to these settings is password-protected to ensure data integrity.)

LP3 Inventory Status Display - Simultaneously view levels for up to 24 tanks with dynamic horizontal bar graph (representing % full status). The concise listing by tank name, product designation, and current inventory level (volume or weight) easily lends itself to production reporting.

Change/Define Products - You can change the current tank product by accessing the menu listing available product designations by name and density (showing specific gravity value). The current selection is highlighted by a blue indicator button.

Operator or Admin Access - If you are password entered into this access level, you can edit the product name or add a new product designation to the list (and enter a specific gravity value). Simply touch the existing text or touch an unused position to launch the on screen entry keypad.

All KING-GAGE®, a NOSHOK Company products are guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of purchase.

Repair Services Warranty: 90 days limited warranty.
