CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Next generation CIU Successor to the CIU 880 Prime and Plus, the CIU 888 is the crucial link between the gauging instruments on bulk liquid storage tanks and the control, monitoring and safety systems in the site control room. The CIU 888 provides operators with reliable and accurate real-time tank inventory data 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, increasing the site’s...
Building on the strengths of its predecessors, the CIU 888 can be migrated into an existing tank inventory system with minimal effort. A single CIU 888 can replace a set of CIU 880 Plus and Prime, a single CIU 880 Prime or a single CIU 858/SmartLink.
Address) 1.3 Designed for users One of the most striking features of the CIU 888 is its user-friendliness. The CIU 888’s user interface guarantees an intuitive operation, and makes sure that users do not suffer from information overload and are presented with the essentials, where it is also possible to analyze the details easily.
Introduction 1.3.1 Ring of light The ring of light located at the front of the CIU 888, as shown in FIGURE 1-3, immediately draws the attention of the user. It provides a clear indication of the actual CIU 888 status based on NAMUR color coding.

Introduction 1.3.3 CIU 888 Web interface The CIU 888 Web interface, shown in FIGURE 1-6, can be accessed for in-depth diagnostics, monitoring and service of the CIU 888. FIGURE 1-6 CIU 888 Web interface The Web interface is easy accessible via a standard browser and allows users to perform a range of tasks, including commissioning and configuration of the CIU 888 and performing system diagnostics.
Use of cyclic redundancy checks (CRCs) to indicate the integrity of site configuration data Option to seal the CIU 888 to indicate that the system settings are unchanged after verification and to be used for W&M-certified appli- cations for inventory control, custody transfer, accounting and duties Hardened CIU888 box with a low susceptibility to virus and malware ...
Introduction 1.5.1 Ethernet ports The CIU 888 has six dedicated Ethernet ports, as shown in FIGURE and FIGURE 1-7. The sixth port is located on the front panel. 1. Sync Link port 4. Office LAN port 2. VPN port 5. FTE port B 3.
Page 15
Office LAN port The Office LAN port is intended to be used to connect the CIU 888 (and the control network it is part of) to the business network of the site in order to securely share data with office applications, thereby saving costs on operation and data exchange.
FIGURE 1-8 CIU 888: Fixed serial host ports These serial ports can be used to connect hosts with the CIU 888 using modbus RTU. The 100% compatibility with the CIU 880 interface ensures a smooth migration of existing applications. Other modbus mapping is also possible to support other data to be transferred.
FIGURE 1-12. The USB ports enable connection of data storage devices, such as USB flash drives and pen drives, in order to install firmware upgrades and CIU 888 license updates. NOTE: Refer to the Firmware Upgrade Manual CIU 888 (Part No. 4417596) for more information. Part No.: 4417591_Rev10...
