The Host Link NXA822 provides data to host systems (such as PLC or DCS) via Modbus as one part of Tankvision. Tankvision is a tank inventory system which is operated by a standard web browser and does not require proprietary software or licensing costs. Tankvision is based on a distributed architecture on a local area network (LAN). Due to its modular structure it is ideally suited for small tank farms with only a couple of tanks, but also for large refineries with hundreds of tanks.
