TRAK Engineering has designed a cost-effective way to communicate to our Fuel Sentries over Ethernet cable instead of telephone lines. This eliminates the necessity of a phone and provides a great savings to our customers. An added benefit is that it increases the polling speed between the Sentry and the Central Controller. The IP Device is programmed at Trak with special licensing information that allows the device to communicate with the Sentry and the Central Controller without picking up any other data on the network line. Tank monitor data can also be communicated if there is an interface between the Sentry and the Tank Monitor. In order for the IP Device to work, standard computer network 'drops' must be placed near the data converter at each site. A static IP address number must be assigned (usually obtained from your Help Desk or Networking Section) during installation of the IP Device. LAN is preferable, but a VPN or even a standard Internet connection will work. |
