SERVICE MESSAGE FROM SAABROSEMOUNT TANK GAUGING
CONFIGURATION OF CIU IN TANKMASTER
Issued by: Daniel Wexell
Date: 2 May 2018
1. CONFIGURATION OF ENRAF CIU IN TANKMASTER
This is a description of how to configure TankMaster when connecting it to an ENRAF CIU,
Communications Interface Unit.
The information here is as it was configured at Customer system and should be applicable in most
parts for other similar installations, see Service Report 00-0004 / GSS AH
When setting up some parameters (Baudrate, CIU&Gauge address, type of gauge), the easiest way
to find this information is to get it from the ENRAF OPI, called ENTIS+.
If the manual for ENTIS+ is available at sight it will be of help.
The Tables (1-3) are a copy of what found in the ENTIS+ and they contain all information what is
needed to configure TankMaster.
2. PROTOCOL SETUP
First thing is to set up the Communication parameters for the Enraf GPU protocol in Tank Master,
see Picture 1. What Baudrate to be used here can be found in Table 1. Reply Timeout=400 ms is a
default value that we have and can be changed if necessary(ENTIS+ has a shorter Timeout).

3. INSTALL CIU IN WINSETUP
Next step is to install the CIU(Devices: Install New..). Select Device Type(CIU), enter the Tag No
and Address(See Table 2).
Activate/Deactivate appropriate Channels (=check in the box for Level and/or Temp), note that
Channel No start at 1(one), see Picture 2.
Picture 2, Channel Configuration in CIU.
4. SETTING UP COMMUNICATION INI-FILE
Now you must manually edit the INI-file called ( and only that!) EGPUDEV.INI, it must be in the
\..\Server\Data\ directory.
Note:
This ini-file is not included in the normal TankMaster installation, it must be added manually. The
default file can be found on the TM CD in Misc folder.
Below is a short description of the contents in this file. See File EGPUDEV.INI in Chpt. 5 Tables.
[Devices]
"Device_0=1.0.CIU", where:
1 = Number of Protocol channel(EFMASTER 1, see Picture 1),
0 = CIU address (see Table 2)
CIU = Tag name.
If no CIU se Chapter 5, TM directly to Field Device

In [1.0.CIU]:
"DEVICE=UR:10000;TOI:R;TOR0:X;", this string is sent every 10s (in this case) just to
check that CIU is still alive:
UR = Update Rate: 10000ms(=10 s)
TOI:R = TypeOf Instrument: R=CIU GPU-Protocol Version
TOR0:X = TypeOf Request: X=identity(send identity record)
"CH0=ADDR:04;UR:3000;TOI:B;TOR0:D;TOR1:X;"
The data that is requested is specified in this string, note that the name of this first string is CH0
which corresponds to Channel No 1 in CIU Channel Configuration window, see Picture 2. The
other commands mean the following:
CH0 = Channel No 1
ADDR:04 = Address for Gauge on Tank FA-01
UR:3000 = Update Rate is 3s
TOI:B = TypeOf Instrument: B=means "811 Gauge with GPU Protocol and devices with
Gauge Type = B", 854(Servo) is such a Gauge, see Table 3. (TR REX can emulate a
type B or C gauge)
TOR0:D = TypeOf Request 1:D ='Request for Level and Temp', this can also be B(='Request for
Level') or C(='Request for Temp') but 'LevelRate' is not supported in GPU protocol
(from what I've heard).
TOR1:X = TypeOf Request 2:X = identity(send identity record)
If you compare the EGPUDEV.INI with Table 3 you can see that I have sorted the INI-file by
having the Tank names in ascending order.
5. TM DIRECTLY TO FIELD DEVICE
If using a EBM to communicate directly to Field device without CIU.
Configure it as a CIU with address -1 in both WinSetup and EGPUDEV.INI
In WinSetup you have to type it in, not possible to get minus value during scrolling.
[Devices]
"Device_0=1.-1.CIU"
