Safety interface, galvanic insulation and field professional gateway
The multi-channel gateway integrates Enraf’s field equipment into tank terminal information systems.
The SmartLink provides a physical layer conversion from serial RS232C/RS485 GPU communication to Bi-Phase Mark GPU field bus.With the modular design of the SmartLink this gateway becomes scalable from small towards large tank terminal installations.
The SmartLink can be expanded from one to three field busses of the worlds standard field communication in tank gauging, Enraf’s GPU Bi-Phase Mark.
The GPU/BPM field bus guarantees a stable, long distance, galvanic isolated digital communication link for integration of Enraf field equipment. Avoiding grounding issues and protecting against damages resulting from lightning strikes on the field communication lines. The SmartLink is fully transparent to the GPU communication.
