It measures product level, the liquid-liquid interface level (e.g. oil over water), and multi-point temperature from a single tank opening, and can output a strapped tank volume. The Thiamis driver polls it over Modbus RTU (RS-485, 4800 baud), reading product level, interface level, and temperature; when the transmitter is configured for volumetric output the level register is returned as a volume instead. How does magnetostrictive level sensing work? A float carrying a permanent magnet rides the liquid surface. A current pulse sent down the waveguide interacts with the magnet's field to launch a torsional strain pulse; the time-of-flight of that pulse back to the sensor head converts to an absolute position. Because the output is absolute, the transmitter needs no scheduled recalibration. What is the difference between product level and interface level? With two floats of different densities the transmitter simultaneously reports the top product surface (product level) and the boundary between two liquids (interface level), such as an oil/water interface, both from one probe. They appear as the two channels of the water-level parameter. How is tank volume produced? A 200-point strapping table converts the measured product level to volume, with API temperature-corrected volume available. The transmitter can then output that volume in place of a length reading, which the integration ingests as the volume parameter (m³). Which models does the integration support? The LP-Series Modbus/DDA transmitters: TankSLAYER, RefineME, SoCLEAN, CHAMBERED, and LevelLimit. CHAMBERED (for magnetic level gauge chambers) measures product level only; LevelLimit adds an integral HI level switch. The LL-Series (LLE, LLH) uses industrial-Ethernet/fieldbus outputs (PROFINET, EtherCAT, IO-Link, SSI, CANbus) rather than Modbus RS-485 and is not served by this driver.
