Function & System Design
System Functionality
1. In response to changes in liquid level, the mechanical level gauge rotates the 2920 FTT
encoder drive shaft.
2. The 2920 FTT’s precision direct drive gearing turns a high resolution encoder which detects
the angular position of the drive shaft and produces a level value
.
3. If a spot temperature RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) is used, the communications
board translates the RTD input to a digital temperature value.
4. The communications circuit board converts the encoded level and temperature to a spe-
cific field communications protocol.
5. The communications circuit board transmits the data to an interface device for display in
a control room by an inventory management system, such as FuelsManager.
