3.1 Purpose of the product
The Rosemount
™
Tank Gauging Safety System is designed for high performance level gauging in
various types of storage tanks. It measures the distance to a liquid in a tank for Safety
Instrumented Systems. The SIL Alarm Relay output is used for alarm indication of overfill and
dry-run risk. Non safety-related instruments such as temperature sensors, remote display units,
water level sensors, pressure sensors, and other instruments can be connected. The non-safety
related instruments must not be used in Safety Instrumented Systems but can be connected
independently to the same system without affecting the safety function.
The Rosemount Tank Gauging Safety System is intended for use as a level measurement sensor
in safety instrumented functions (SIF) designed per IEC 61511. It is comprised of the following
main elements:
Rosemount 5900
The Rosemount 5900 is a radar level gauge developed for a wide range of applications at bulk
liquid storage facilities. Different antennas can be used in order to meet the requirements of
different applications. The 2-in-1 version of the Rosemount 5900 has two independent and
galvanically isolated radar modules in the same transmitter enclosure using a single antenna.
The Rosemount 5900 outputs an intrinsically safe SIL Alarm signal which is connected to the
Rosemount 2410.
Rosemount 2410
The Rosemount 2410 acts as a power supply to the connected Rosemount 5900 using the
intrinsically safe Tankbus. The Rosemount 2410 provides the SIL Alarm relay output and digital
communication allowing connection of configuration tools or safety control system.
