4.3. MOVINTERFACE
Tank inlet & jetty MOVs will be interfaced with the process PLC through serial
communication and required data (feedback and command signals) will be fetched from
MOV.
Below signal are considered for MOV operation:
Below digital serial interface signal are considered for MOV operation
• Open/Close status
• Remote/Local status
• Open/Close commands
All the tank outlet MOV shall be hardwired to TAS PLC, following are the hardwired signals
considered for MOV control.
• MOV Local /Remote Status.
• MOV Open status
• MOV Close status
• MOV open command
• MOV close command

By
On Occurrence of I‐1:
a) ESD Close command (by PLC) to tank Inlet
MOV.
Tank Level – b) ESD Close command (by PLC) to corresponding
1 I‐1 LevelSwitch HHAlarm running product pump through its normal
closure port
c) Close command (by PLC) to MOV through its
normal closure port after the pump stop
feedback is updated in the TAS system
By
On Occurrence of I‐2:
Radar type
Tank Level ‐ H a) Alarm will be displayed on operator station to
2 I‐2 Level
Transmitter take nessary action at operator level.
On Occurrence of I‐3:
a) Close command (by PLC)to all the TLF Pumps.
Actuated by b) Close command (by PLC) to all the Tank Inlet /
any ofthe Outlet MOVs through their normal port.
Plant ESD c) Open command (by PLC)to Entry &Exit Barrier
3 I‐3 ESD signals or gate through its normal port.
Soft ESD from d) Close command (by PLC) to all the jetty MOV’s.
theOIC e) Close command (by PLC)to the batch
graphics controllers (inTFL gantry) through their normal
ports to abort the loading operations at TLF
gantries.
f) Command from PLC to blow hooters.
2. PLC issues open command to tank outlet MOV, and will wait for the open feedback of
the MOV.
3. After receiving open feedback from the tank outlet MOV, TLF pump with Priority 1 will
start in remote auto mode depending upon the pump demands received from the
batch controller at the gantry.
4. Logic continuously monitor for L and LL level of the tank. Once L level reaches, alarm
will be displayed in the alarm window. When tank level goes to LL, TLF dispatch pump
will get stopped automatically.
Caution: NO simultaneously operation of two tanks for TLF Dispatch & Receipt will not be
carried out in remote mode.
Note:
• The Pumps selected in Local mode shall not appear for selection.
• Tank Inlet and Out MOV shall always remain in Remote Auto mode. However if tank
inlet MOV and outlet MOV is operated in Remote Manual mode by the user, system
shall allow opening of inlet MOV only when outlet MOV is closed and vice versa.
TLF Pump Priority Selection Philosophy:
Pumps will be operated in two modes i.e. Remote and Local. Selector switch for Remote
/Local selection will be available on MCC control panel. This will be used to select the
pump in remote/local mode. If Remote/Local Switch is in Local position then all the
interlocks will be bypassed and pump will be operated from the field with the use of local
push button station. Only ESD command will be activated during this mode, however
pump status will be displayed in the TAS system. If Remote/Local Switch is in Remote
position then pump will be operated from the Control Room in Two -modes either in
Manual mode or Auto mode. Soft button will be provided on HMI to select Auto/Manual
mode of pump.
While designing pump logic it is considered that flow rate on a single loading point is to be
maintained at optimum level which depends on quantity of Pumps available at terminal
and pump capacity.
Pump priority will be set based on least run hours/manual selection from OIC’s. In case
the selected pump (selected as 1st Priority pump on least run hours/manual selection)
failed to start or selected in remote manual/local mode or tripped, then the 2nd priority
(selected as 2nd least run Hour on least run hours/manual selection) pump will be
selected for the operation and it starts automatically.
Following are TLF Pump Interlock to start the pump:
1. ESD should be healthy.
2. Respective product tank should be in TLF Dispatch Mode.
3. Tank Level should not be LL for the tank selected for TLF dispatch.
4. Respective Tank outlet MOV should be open
5. Remote/Local switch Position of Pump should be in remote.
6. Pressure Transmitter status on pump suction should be healthy.

3. As soon as the field ESD is pressed the field and the system status will de-energized
and will trip the entire Gantry.
4. When the ESD is restored to healthy condition, the field status will become healthy but
the system remains in de-energized state and the gantry is trip.
5. ESD will trip all the tank outlet MOV’s& Pumps, tanks will go in Day End Dormant
mode, and all gantry operations will stop.
6. Hooter will start
7. After this the operator with managerial access has to press the RESET button from
HMI. This will make the system status healthy after the field status is healthy.
8. After reset, the entire gantry will resumed to its initial state.
9. There is also provision of ESD from HMI with managerial access.
