Application Fields
The 854.635-79 XPU board is the “brain” of the Enraf 854 ATG system used in:
- Oil & Gas Storage: Precise inventory measurement of crude oil and refined products in bulk storage tanks.
- Chemical Plants: Level and interface measurement for hazardous liquid chemicals.
- Custody Transfer: High-accuracy data processing for commercial fiscal transactions and tank farm management.
- Refineries: Real-time monitoring of product levels and density calculations in high-pressure environments.
Product Instructions
- Safety Precautions: Before opening the explosion-proof housing of the 854 ATG, ensure the power is isolated and the atmosphere is non-hazardous.
- ESD Protection: Use an anti-static wrist strap. The XPU board contains sensitive microprocessors and memory chips.
- Removal: Carefully disconnect the display cable and power ribbons before unscrewing the board from its mounting standoffs.
- Configuration: Transfer the site-specific parameters (tank height, density, zero-points) from the old board or re-program via the Enraf portable terminal or Entis software.
- Reassembly: Ensure the board is firmly seated and all connectors are locked to prevent communication timeouts caused by vibration.
Q&A
Q1: What is the main function of the XPU board in an 854 ATG gauge? A1: The XPU board processes signals from the servo motor and displacement sensor to calculate the exact liquid level, temperature, and volume of the tank contents.
Q2: Can I swap an 854.635-79 board between two different tanks? A2: Physically yes, but you must update the tank-specific configuration data stored in the firmware to ensure accurate measurement readings for the new tank geometry.
Q3: Does this board support HART communication? A3: The XPU handles the core gauging logic; HART or other Fieldbus communications are typically managed via specific interface modules connected to this board.
