2. Introduction
The program Valve and Tank Control is to operate the Valves and Pumps from
the PC located in the Bridge. also you have all necessary information of the
Remote Controlled Valves and Tanks you need to operate for e.g. Pump Pressure
and status of Hydraulic System
· The digital and analogous measuring values of valve control are detected by a
measuring device for the valve control.
· The Trim indication and List signal are coming from the Inclinometer which is
mounted in the Main cabinet in Engine Room and connect to the tank content
system.
3 Start of Software
In order to start the program you look for the Icon on the Desktop ”Valve &
Tank control” click twice (double click) on the symbol
Immediately the main window of the program with the logo ”Tank Control is
loading” will open. After a short starting phase a ship graphic will be shown in
the main window which the digital and analogous measuring values of valve and
tank control are detected by a measuring devices.
Note: if the spaces for the measured values in the graphics remain empty for more
than 60 s, connection to the tank measuring plant is interrupted. If so, check
functioning of the tank measuring plant and cabling.
At the upper edge of the main window you find a menu bar indicating the most
important functions. The menus can be opened by click of the mouse button, from
the selection list appearing then individual items can be selected by the mouse as

6 WINDOW
There are 4 Menus for operate the different systems selection of the menu
function described here opens another window. These windows contain additional
Tanks and Valves
trim ( pnd ) on this reading you can see the actual trim of the vessel in meter
between perpendicular
this trim will be measured by an angle transmitter in the Tank Level System
on this reading you can see the actual list of the vessel in degree.
this list will be measured by an angle transmitter in the Tank Content System
If you want to operate the pumps or the valves go with the mouse pointer to the
symbol of valves/pumps than click on the symbol and a small window will be
open where you can choice for valves “close/open” and for Pump “start/ stop”. By
