Tank Content Measuring

The system continuously monitors the contents and temperatures of ballast, cargo, fuel oil, and other liquid tanks. Additionally, the vessel's draught can be measured precisely by using Hoppe's Draught Measuring System. The state of the art PLC unit HOMIP acts as the signal hub between all process components and control workstations or other centralized ship management systems with serial Ethernet or RS 485 interfaces. The integrated 6" touch screen display offers a clearly structured and easy interface for system configuration, parameter settings, and full back-up operation. The system setup is especially designed for decentralized installations. As a result of Hoppe's vertical responsibility approach, the tank content data does not need to be subjected to any further processing.
