8300 TankGate InterfaceCollect and transmit data from multiple storage tanks to a central system or host using a single tank gauge interface
Highlights
• Connects to various manufacturers’ instruments through industry standard protocols ‐ reducing equipment required for a single system
• Fully compatible with FuelsManager® ‐ tank inventory management made easy
• 8300 TGI and tank gauging instrument configuration data can be exported to other applications, such as Microsoft Excel® or Access® ‐ documenting all tank gauge equipment
• All information obtained can be communicated to the host system for inventory, alarm and control purposes
Applications
The 8300 series TankGate Interface (TGI) acts as a tank gauge interface for data acquisition and host gateway for tank farm, pipeline or refinery applications. Through the use of plug‐in interface modules, the 8300 TGI can receive various types of measured data from tank gauging instruments, such as level, temperature, density, water level or alarms.
Intelligent Module Architecture
Each 8300 TGI has a built‐in motherboard and interface module based on the local field protocol or tank gauging instrumentation requirements. The motherboard contains an internal high speed serial data link to enable communication to a central database.
Host Communication
The 8300 TGI combines with FuelsManager software to provide an extremely cost efficient and reliable tank inventory system that is compatible with a variety of other host systems through the industry standard MODBUS™ protocol.
Installation Guidelines
The 8300 TGI can be installed in a variety of industrial environments when placed in an optional NEMA 4 Enclosure.

Expansion Modules
Each intelligent interface module contains its own processor for fast and reliable field data scanning. Built‐in compatibility of every module makes configuration of the internal 8300 TGI database simple and straightforward. Available Modules:
• MODBUS
• Whessoe
• Varec (Mark/Space)
• GPE
• Saab
• Enraf
• L&J TankWay (L&J Technologies ‐ Shand & Jurs)
• Prime Measurement (Barton) Instruments
Configuration and Programming
Remote programming can be accomplished from the host or locally using a PC with the Windows based configuration program ViewRTU. This tool simplifies configuration and diagnostics, allowing uploading of final equipment configurations. Reports can also be generated via a built‐in function to assist in documentation
