Overview
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The Rosemount 2230 Graphical Field Display presents inventory tank 
gauging data such as level, temperature, and pressure. The 2230 
communicates with the Rosemount 2410 Tank Hub via the intrinsically safe 
2-wire Tankbus
(1)
A 2230 connected to the multiple tank version of the 2410 allows you to view 
data from several tanks. It is possible to configure presentation of 
measurement variables for each tank individually.
The four softkeys at the front of the 2230 allow you to navigate through the 
different menus and provides all tank data, directly on the field. 
Data from a group of tanks is buffered by a 2160 Field Communication Unit 
(FCU), and is distributed via the Group Bus to a TankMaster PC, or a host 
system, whenever the FCU receives a request for data. In case no FCU is 
included in the system, the 2410 Tank Hub can communicate directly with the 
host computer.
