Inventory Management
Function and system design System Application
FuelsManager is an advanced Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) suite of software products for tank farms, terminals, pipelines and other management facilities. This system runs under the Microsoft Windows 2000 or the Microsoft Windows NT operating systems. These multi-tasking, 32-bit operating systems allow for complete Client/Server applications. FuelsManager can operate on a single PC or as part of a network and is available in Workstation or Server configurations. In addition, FuelsManager can be networked with other PC or host computer systems.
Inventory Management
Users are able to integrate all major types of tank level and mass measurement instruments, including float, radar, servo, hydrostatic, intelligent, magnetostrictive and hybrid tank gauges, into one system. Storage tank parameters, such as level, temperature, gross and net standard volumes are displayed in real-time at the local operator workstation. The system contains fuels management-specific functionality and can support most major manufacturers’ tank gauging systems and other terminal automation equipment. The system can monitor levels, temperatures, alarms, volumes, flow and other variables for up to 2000 tanks. In addition to tank inventory management, FuelsManager is capable of controlling an entire tank farm. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are used to monitor and control tank farm instrumentation and control devices, such as pumps and valves. Combining tank farm automation with tank farm inventory reduces the number of systems that operators have to manage. Complete control of pipeline receipts, hydrant system control, independent high level alarm systems, Emergency Fuel Shut-Off (EFSO) and interfaces to leak detection systems are all possible with FuelsManager's Tank Farm Automation.

Inventory Management
Operator Interface FuelsManager provides real-time operational information on the status of your facility using both standard predefined and custom displays. Tank Detail
FuelsManager includes several tank display templates. Each template shows tank data both graphically and alphanumerically. Data shown includes volumes, flows, density, alarms and product movement information. Custom templates can be created via FuelsManager’s Draw utility, to display tank data in the required customer configuration.

Tank Groups
Operators or system administrators can create and modify tank groups in real-time and select or modify which tanks or tank data is displayed. Dynamic Tank Groups In this display the operator defines a filter (or condition) that a tank must meet before it is included in the Tank Group, e.g. level greater then 10ft, or product equals Jet A. Having defined this filter, FuelsManager then automatically adds and deletes tanks from the Tank Group as the filter condition is met. As with the Static Tank Groups, the operator can still define what data is displayed in which column and save the group with a user defined name. Using the dynamic Tank Group the operator could:
• Define a Tank Group of each product and have FuelsManager automatically add/delete a tank from a group when the product is changed.
• Define a Tank Group that shows only tanks where the flow is greater than zero, effectively creating a "moving tank" display.
• Advanced operators could combine conditions in a filter. By having a Tank Group that displays
tanks whose flow is greater than zero and the transfer time remaining is less than 60 minutes, the operator sees a display containing moving tanks that are estimated to complete the transfer within the next hour (i.e. critical tanks).

Graphical Tank Groups Both Static and Dynamic Tank Groups support a graphical view and the user can switch between tabular and graphical views using a single hot key. In addition, the tank image automatically changes to reflect the tank shape in the FuelsManager database (i.e. vertical cylinder, sphere, horizontal). Additional data for a tank is available by either double clicking on the tank to open the Tank Detail display or right clicking and selecting "Process Data" from the pop-up menu. The graphical view displays a single (operator configurable) process variable per tank, along with a dynamically updating image of the tank contents. The display also indicates the presence and direction of product movement (flow) into or out of the tank.

Total and Sub-total rows The operator is able to fix the position at which the Total Row will be displayed in a Tabular Tank Group. This feature allows the total row to remain visible when the operator scrolls past the allowable 20 tanks per page. In addition, Static Tank Groups support sub-total rows. These can be used to build static Tank Groups that provide sub-totalization of user defined tanks. For example consider, tanks 1-5 contain gasoline and tanks 5-10 contain crude. The operator could build a static Tank Group that included tanks 1-5 followed by a sub-total row, then tanks 5-10 followed by a sub-total row then a space and a final total row. This Tank Group allows the operator to quickly see the total gasoline, the total crude supply and the overall site product totals on a single display. Custom Displays
Custom site displays or site overviews can easily be created using tank icons or a digital image within FuelsManager’s Draw utility. Site overview screens provide an entry to the entire site, allowing the user to access the tank detail screen by clicking on a particular tank.

Alarming
Alarm status is displayed both graphically and alphanumerically as alarm conditions occur. A fixed alarm line at the bottom of every display and a full window alarm summary show current alarm status. This includes the alarm, date and time, acknowledgement status and alarm priority. Alarms can be viewed as several operator selectable orders. Indicator box

Calculator
The tank calculator allows users to schedule and plan, based on “what if” scenarios. The operator can manually perform calculations, using current tank data, without changing any tank values. For example, "what the level would be if 10,000 gallons" was added or " what volume would be at the high level limit". Right - The Tank Calculator in OPERATE
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

Configuration Tank Object
The tank object is a central database point designed for configuration of all information associated with a tank. Process data, engineering units, strap tables, volume correction methods, alarms and tank geometry are all configured from a single tank object dialog box. Over 40 tank variables are automatically created for a tank and can be used to: • connect to a field value • calculate data from other values • enter data manually Variables defined in one set of engineering units may be displayed in alternate units in graphics, tank details and reports.
Tank Geometry
Supported geometries include cone roof tanks, horizontal cylinders (with flat ends), bullets and spheres (both standard and polynomial). Tanks can either be configured with fixed roof or floating roof and calculations can include or exclude the floating roof mass in the strapping tables. Minimum and maximum working levels can be set and are used to calculate available product and remaining tank capacity. Tank capacity tables (Strapping tables) may be innage or outage (ullage) with unlimited strap entries per tank.
Product Database
Endress+Hauser
Configuration of products can include the assignment of standard density, description, calculation method, temperature alarms and calculation method. Assigning a product to a tank helps prevent unintentional mixing of products and with one operation all properties of a product are assigned to the tank.

Inventory Management
Alarms
Level, temperature, density, flow, level rate, pressure, movement, reverse flow, no flow and an estimated time of arrival (ETA) are predefined for all tanks. User security configuration makes it easy to restrict access to changing alarms.
Security
FuelsManager allows the administrators to set user privileges across the system. This allows specific settings, such as • whether a user has add / edit / delete or copy privileges to a database. • which tanks are visible to which groups of users through user defined tag categories • which alarms are annunciated to which groups and users via user defined alarm categories • Display and creation of real-time graphics • Modification of database • Operator commands • Alarm acknowledgement • Report creation User privileges can also be applied to a particular group of tanks, such as specifying that a group of users can modify the high-high and low-low alarm limits for tanks 1...10 but not tanks 1...20. FuelsManager system auditing allows system configuration actions to be written to a Windows NT®/2000 event log for future reference
Draw
10
FuelsManager's Draw utility is used to create or modify custom displays and tank detail screens. The Draw utility contains a graphical symbol library that can be used in creating custom displays. Custom displays can be created or modified without the need to exit the operator interface program, shut down or restart the system. Example custom displays could include site or SCADA overview displays.
