Monitor tank level with your Tank Cloud

May 16, 2013 By scombest

Automation Products Group, Inc. (APG) introduces Tank Cloud Remote Monitoring – a cost-effective remote tank level monitoring system that enables users to monitor facilities and processes from anywhere with an internet connection, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Using APG’s proprietary remote level sensors and modules, or any sensor with a 4-20mA output, Tank Cloud users can remotely monitor level, pressure, temperature, flow, pH and other process variables through an easy-to-use online interface.

Tank Cloud

Tank Cloud sensors and input modules connect to the user’s network via an Ethernet cable and transmit data via the user’s Internet connection, whether landline, cellular, radio or satellite. On APG’s intuitive Tank Cloud remote monitoring web portal, operators and managers have ready access to real-time and historical data, and can manage various alarms and set permission levels for various personnel. The system notifies all relevant workers of any alarms via email and text messaging.

How it works

To help users get the most from their Tank Cloud, APG has introduced three Tank Cloud-compatible sensing and display products. The robust MPX Series Magnetostrictive Level Sensor provides highly accurate and repeatable volume and level readings in harsh and hazardous applications that are prone to fouling or buildup. Designed to operate as a slave device, the MNU Series Ultrasonic Sensor can measure distance, level or volume from 4 in. to 40 ft. Lastly, the MND Modbus Network Display provides a local option to display readings from up to 10 sensors in the network; it can also be wired to a local Tank Cloud network, and can operate in master or sniffer mode.

    I need some additional information on your tank level device.

    Tank Height 16 feet
    Is it intrinsically safe with barriers?

    Thanks

    can the tank sensor be used in wastewater ponds?

    This article is interesting. what kind of tanks can this be used for. Will this be suitable for the tropics. I live in Ghana, West Africa where temperatures average 30 degrees celsius. In the day time. About a month ago it entered the 40’s.

    If it can handle temperatures here i believe it will sell. will this be for fuel pump stations, tanks that store petrol and diesel. Bulk oil storage? please supply more information.

    Sincerely,
    Andrew.
