SCOPE:

A Diesel Tank storage facility requires a 24/7 Monitoring system for tank levels and alarms/alerts for pump status.

Remote web based monitoring provides management with an overview of each site and its relevant details.

The Data Acquisition hardware will have barriers to all field interfaces:

Tanks levels 4-20mA Loop Powered

Flow Meter Data Pulse per unit measure

ID for driver/user taking fuel. (Can be interlocked)

The system has limited standby battery power in case of mains interruptions. 7Ah (Approx 2Hours cover)

The Website will display the tank dynamic level.

Current Tank Value in litres.

Open balance for last day. Midnight to Midnight.

Close Balance for Last day. Midnight to Midnight

Flow Meter check balance Open Balance

Flow Meter check balance Close Balance

The system automatically monitors the following:

Main Power On/Off

Status of backup Battery for this system

Temperature at the Omniflex RTU

GSM Signal Strength

Last Power Fail Time and Date


Should any out of limit situations occur the designated cell phones or email accounts are sms’d or emailed with alarm messages. An acknowledgement is required from the recipient/s or else the message is escalated to another designated cell phone/s, or email account. The user has access to a web page to review the status of the system at any time via the internet.

Data is maintained on the web page with history of events from the site monitored and can be reviewed by the user. (Normally 3 months data oldest is purged)

A report is automatically generated daily, weekly (user defined interval) summarising deviations from acceptable limits and summary of alarms during the month. This report is email to designated users automatically at month end.

The automated reporting allows the management to focus on their core activities as opposed to monitoring the site for compliance. The Data2Desktop system provide alarms and alerts of non conformance and forces action where the automated reports provide management with an true event log of the facility for management of conformance.

A backup SD card facility is used to store log files locally on the Omniflex system as a safety system backup.


Solution Overview

An OMNIFLEX M2G Data Access Point is located at the facility to be monitored usually wall mounted in an enclosure. The system is battery backed up so that it will function independently of local power source for a period of time (Approx 1 day depending on loads on standby battery) Thus if a power failure occurs the system will still be able to report the status of the site and the power failure even without local power on site ensuring that action can be taken to prevent loss on site.

System Overview Diagram


What do I need to use the system?

Once installed the system runs by itself monitoring automatically 24/7/365. Local users will receive alarms on the annunciator panel anf force them to acknowledge the alarm and silence the horn,

Management Users require a cell phone to receive alerts, an internet enabled PC to review the site remotely, and an email address to which email alerts and reports are sent.

System Health additional monitored points.

In Addition, the system monitors automatically the following for locations:

1. Main Power On/Off

2. Status of backup Battery for this system

3. Temperature at the Omniflex RTU

4. GSM Signal Strength

5. Last Power Fail Time and Date

Data Access Point

The Data Access Point comprises a panel with Operator interface on the door which displays the monitored parameters locally. and system diagnostics. It allows management to edit parameter under password control.


Enterprise and Multiple Site Monitoring Features


Data2Desktop Features and Functions

Date and Time Stamp Event Logging

Data is stored by date and time stamp providing a chronological log of data acquired from the outstation and maintained for record keeping purposes. Records can be downloaded for reference or further analysis or automated reports will email the data to the system users.

Battery Backup

In the event of power failure the system is battery backed up reporting the fact power has failed and maintaining readings for approx 24 Hours.If PLC is not backed up readings will be null but the system will transmit alert for power failure on site.

GSM Service interruption

In the event of GSM service interruption the system will collect the reading locally until the service resumes

SMS Service – Alerts and Alarms

Should an out of limits condition occur then an SMS and or Email is sent to designated cell phones or email addresses. If no acknowledgement is returned then the message is escalated to another set of cell phones or email addresses. SMS Service is post billed on usage. Email alarms are part of the contract.

Login to your site


Browsing the Status of the Site

Typical site overview screen can be browsed via the internet using a PC or Web enabled cell phone.

Viewing Alarms/Alerts and Records of Alarms

Alarms are recorded and can be reviewed by data and time. Alarms can also be acknowledged from the site as well as via email or sms from the recipients of the Alarm or Alert


Viewing a Trend of Analogue or Digital status

Any parameter can be viewed on a trend over time using the trend tools provided on the Data2Desktop site. Power failures, Access control etc can be viewed on a trend. Tank level reading can be trended to see usage. This can also help procurement if usage ramps up to predict re-order requirements. The user can create as many of these trends as they require.

History Review

History can be reviewed and sorted from the Log files and downloaded for Analysis if required.


Scheduling and Managing On Call People

Creating and Managing On Call resources is easy via the administration facility on the Omniflex Data Centre which is maintained by the user

People and assets can be grouped and alarms allocated to certain groups. Adding people or temporarily taking people off is a simple check box.

Connection to end user’s management information systems.

Omniflex can provide interface to end user information systems through liason with relevant end user IT department to facilitate a suitable connection to the Omniflex Data Centre.


Automated Reporting

Reports are designed per user requirements and then are automatically generated at the interval requested to lists of subscribers. This eliminates the 24/7/365 monitoring of alarms and data as this is all automated


Budgetry Pricing Schedule

The Omniflex RTU is built into a wall mount enclosure and is fitted to a suitable point in the building taking into account where the temperature probe is to be located and where mains wiring can be taken from.

Each System is quoted separately on a separate document.
