1. Introduction
The OriLink® TCM module, (Tank Control Module), is used to control pumps and/or measure levels in tanks using
floater based level switches. A TCM can be used both for fresh and waste oil tanks.
The TCM (23408) is eighter a MPDM (23400) with another software (early model the chip should be labeled TCM
1.xx.xx) or has the PCB 203 02 91 equipped with a chip marked TCM 2.xx.xx.. Because of this a lot of this manual is
similar to the manual of the MPDM.
NOTE! The Orilink® installation manual should be available when installing and configuring a TCM.
2. Mechanical installation
The TCM is delivered mounted in a metal box with power supply. It can also be delivered as a PCB with mounting kit.
Complete TCM in a box is mounted on a wall or other suitable place using the four-ø5 mm holes in the bottom corners
of the box.
If a PCB is used it is important that a power supply with enough performance is used.
3. Electric installation
The power supply should be connected to mains
230VAC in a proper way following valid rules.
Alentec & Orion AB recommends that the
connection be done through a 2-pole working
switch.
It has five connectors (A) for the OriLink® communication. Two of these connectors, MPDM IN and MPDM OUT
are not connected to +24V and are intended for a connection to another TCM, MPDM or other modules that already
have +24VDC. This is to prevent connecting +24VDC from two power supplies.
The other three connectors are used to connect external devices without a power source such as a Printer Module (PM),
a LED Module (LED) and/or a KeyPad (KP). These connectors can only supply power to a single device. For more
detailed information see the OriLink® Manual
NOTE! If the communication loop begin in one of these modules it must be connected to either MPDM IN or
MPDM OUT or +24V must not be connected.
The RESET-button (B) can be used to reset the module or reset the module address. Power supply is connected to the
connector (C).
NOTE! Check polarity, GND is closest to the hole!
The connector (D) is used when you install a chassis-mounted key switch and diode.
With the key switch you can set the status of the module to OFF-, NORMAL-, or
OVERRIDE-mode. The diodes indicate setting.
There are four connectors (E) market +24 V, OC, A, B and GND, one for
each pump/tank. Solenoid valves and level sensors are connected to these
connectors.
“A” of a TCM port is connected to “order oil/emptying” of the level
sensor.
“B” of a TCM port is connected to “Stop level” of the level sensor.
“GND” of a TCM port is connected to common of the level sensor.
“+24V” of a TCM port is connected to one of the terminals of a solenoid
valve and “Sol” is connected to the other.

TIP! If a TCM is used for a tank containing flammable liquid it could be necessary to use an EX
protection.
There are two diodes (F) for every port. These indicate the status of entry points A and B, the level in the tank.
One diode (G) on each port indicates if the solenoid valve is open or not.
If the diode (H) is flashing the module is operational and working properly. A steady light or completely off indicates a
problem.
DIL switches for termination and BIAS are located at (I). (J) Shows the position of the replaceable communication
driver. The SetupLock jumper at position (K) has no function for a TCM.
A LED (L) shows if an analogue sensor is detected or not, lit if detected. The analogue sensors are connected to the 2-
pole connectors marked (M). The polarity is marked on the PCB.

4.1. Check before configuration
Check that the TCM is working and communicating with the system according to the Orilink®Manual chapter
Testing modules.
NOTE! Do not forget to check and adjust the termination and BIAS according to Orilink® Manual.
4.2. Addressing the TCM
A new module has a default address when delivered such as MPDM 1000, PM 2000, KP 3000, LED 4000, TCM
8000 and so on. To set an address for a new TCM or a TCM with unknown address press and hold it’s RESET
button for 5 seconds to set a temporary address. Immediately enter set-up mode from a KP and type 0 and then
ENTER to get to the Main menu of the TCM, see below.
NOTE! Only one new module can be installed at a time. If you press the RESET-button on several
terminals simultaneously or in a sequence, only the most recently pressed will be active.
TIP! Follow preferably ”Recommendation for setting new addresses” when setting addresses.
4.3. Set-Up mode

Each module demands a unique 16 bit hexadecimal address. There are
some forbidden and some reserved addresses but it is possible to use all
addresses between 0001 and 9999. To make it easier to upgrade and
support the system we recommend using the chart to the right.
This means that the first TCM should have the address 8001 and the next
one 8002 etc. It is a good idea not to use the default address 8000, it
makes it easier to add new Tam’s
NOTE! It is essential to add modules to the configuration sheet
continuously as they are configured to avoid collisions.
NOTE! Address 0000 is forbidden and addresses above 9999 are
reserved for the system.
5. Configure the ports
A TCM has four ports that are used to control four different pumps/tanks.
5.1. Connect a tank to a port [TCM//PortX/Tank]
This is only needed for systems using the service TCmS.dll (early versions).
An OLWT R6 system uses the service WinDB.dll for this and then TankNo is only
for informational purpose. Use correct TankNo or set all to “0”.
Enter menu [TCM//PortX] by scrolling with or .
At PortX: press ENTER.
Press ENTER to get the cursor.
Check the number of the tank that is connected to portX, type that number in and
press ENTER to acknowledge. When the cursor disappears it is finished.
Press EXIT two times to leave Set-Up mode.
5.2. Set the Mask [TCM//PortX/Mask]
Using the Mask each tank function can be set. This is done by
adding the values for the desired functions, in the chart to the right.
EXAMPLE: Port 1 measures the level of a waste oil tank and
controls the air to a waste oil pump using an Alentec & Orion AB
2-levels sensor 23132. This is up done by calculating the value of the Mask 1+4+8=13. The Mask should be set to
13.

5.3. Analogue sensor settings
5.3.1. Set the input signal filter time constant
This time constant (Tau) is used to filter the sensor signal to create an
accurate tank level. “0” means no filter and a higher value gives slower
response but a more accurate value. The default value of “6” is in most cases
good. It means that for a step in the tank level the reading of the level is on
99,9 % after 30 seconds.

5.7. Set the type of tank (PC system).
To make it possible for the PC software to handle tank information, volumes, sensor inputs and valve output it is
necessary to define which TCM port to use, if it is a fresh oil tank or a waste oil tank, if there are any level sensors
connected and of which type if there are.
These settings is done from the PC using the OriLink® WinDB Manager software and is described in detail in the
OriLink® WinTools Manual. Below is only a short description.
To tell the system which hardware to use for each PC tank the TCM address and TCM port has to be set for all PC
tanks.
Each PC tank could share a TCM port if the same solenoid valve is used to control all pumps. This is not
recommended because of the loss of security and redundance.
The system must be told what hardware there is and how to use it properly. This is done through the Tank Type.
Tank type is set by a string of 0 and 1 were the first position sets if it is a fresh or waste oil tank. The second position
tells if there is a discrete level sensor present or not and the third position defines if there is an analogue sensor
present or not.
Tank type is “0??” for fresh oil and “1??” for waste oil.
Tank type is “?0?” for NO discrete sensor and “?1?” for discrete sensor connected.
Tank type is “??0” for NO analogue sensor and “??1” for an analogue sensor connected.
Example:
TankType = 000, a fresh oil tank without sensors.
TankType = 010, a fresh oil tank with a discrete level sensor.
TankType = 110, a waste oil tank with a discrete level sensor.
TankType = 001, a fresh oil tank with an analogue level sensor.
TankType = 101, a waste oil tank with an analogue level sensor.
TankType = 111, a waste oil tank with both a discrete and an analogue sensor.

9. To connect discrete level sensors 23 132/138/171 and solenoid valves
9.1. Fresh oil tank, 23138 (2-levels)
To achieve a proper function, that is the pump starts only if there are enough oil in the tank, a dispense point is open
and the sensor works properly, the following connection should be made.
The TCM port should be set to control the appropriate PC tank in relation to the physical tank. Correct TankType,
TCMAddress and TCMPort should be set using with WinDB Manager.
MASK =12, TankType = 01?
9.2. Fresh oil tank, 23171/23183 (1-level)
To achieve a proper function, that is the pump starts only if there are enough oil in the tank, a dispense point is open
and the sensor works properly, the following connection should be made.
The TCM port should be set to control the appropriate PC tank in relation to the physical tank. Correct TankType,
TCMAddress and TCMPort should be set using with WinDB Manager.
Mask = 4, TankType=01?
9.3. Waste oil tank, 23132 (2-levels)
To achieve a proper function, that is the pump stops if the physical tank is full or if the sensor is disconnected, the
following connection should be made. Colours are if you use control cable 23412.
The TCM port should be set to control the appropriate PC tank in relation to the physical tank. Correct TankType,
TCMAddress and TCMPort should be set using with WinDB Manager

9.4. One TCM port controls a number of pumps
It is possible to control several pumps with only one solenoid valve, that is all pumps starts if one dispense point is
opened. To do this the solenoid valve is connected between +24V and Sol of a TCM port. The port is set to a tank
that does not exist in the PC database and the Mask is set to 0.
For all PC tanks that should be controlled by this solenoid valve the TCMAddress and TCMPort should be set to
this port. Using the WinDB Manager does this.
If this method is used of coarse no level sensor can be used.
10. EX-barrier 23187 for discrete level sensors.
An EX-barrier is needed between the level sensor and the tank module if the
liquid is classed as flammable. For this purpose the EX-barrier 23178 and a
special EX approved cable 23164 can be used.
The EX-barrier, the solenoid valve that controls the air to the pump and the tank
module should be placed outside the EX-classed area. The EX approved cable
should be used to connect the level sensor on the tank inside the EX-classed area
with the EX-barrier outside the EX-classed area.
Connecting a fresh oil tank 23171/23183 (1-Level).
To achieve a proper function, that is the pump starts only if there are enough oil
in the tank, a dispense point is open and the sensor works properly, the
following connection should be made.
The TCM port should be set to control the appropriate PC tank in relation to the
physical tank.
Correct TankType, TCMAddress and TCMPort should be set using with
WinDB Manager
Mask = 4, TankType=01?

10.1.Connecting a waste oil tank 23132 (2-Levels)
To achieve a proper function, that is the pump stops if the physical tank is full or if the sensor is disconnected, the
following connection should be made.
The TCM port should be set to control the appropriate PC tank in relation to the physical tank.
Correct TankType, TCMAddress and TCMPort should be set using with WinDB Manager
MASK = 13, TankType = 11?.
11. To connect an analogue sensor
The four analogue inputs on the TCM support any standard industrial 2-lead / 4-20mA / 24VDC sensors. To connect
sensors a 2-pole connector is used.
11.1.Analogue sensor 23417
The submerged pressure based level sensor 23
417 is a robust sensor that can be used with good
accuracy for tanks with a height of 1 –5 meters.
Max height depends on density of fluid. The
measuring resolution for a TCM with a 23 417
sensor is 4 mm for water and about 4.5 mm for
mineral oil.
Connect the red wire to +24VDC and the black
wire to Sense. +24VDC and Sense are printed on
the PCB.
If the sensor cable (6.5 m) is to short to reach the
TCM it can be lengthen using a standard 2-lead
wire with copper area of 0.5 mm2 for each lead.
For this purpose use the by-packed connection
box.
It is not necessary to use the shield to obtain a good signal because the signal is current based. The shield can be
used for protection grounding purposes if needed.
OBSERVE! It is important that the transparent tube is not blocked and that the humidity protection
filter is used. A blocked tube will cause measuring failure. Not using the humidity protection
could cause sensor malfunction due to corrosion caused by condensed water.

11.2.Connecting an analogue sensor.
The OriLink® TCM uses 2-lead 4-20mA 24VDC technique but there are several other techniques that uses more
leads. Because of this the sensor can have more than 2-leads but they are not used.
OBSERVE! Colors may vary between shipments and sensor types so check the sensor manual before
connecting it.
Correct TankType, TCMAddress and TCMPort should be set using with WinDB Manager
MASK = ??, TankType = ??1
12. EX-barrier 23 188 for analogue
sensors.
An EX-barrier is needed between the level sensor and
the tank module if the liquid is classed as flammable.
For this purpose the EX-barrier 23188 and a special
EX approved cable p/n 23164 should be used.
The EX-barrier, the solenoid valve that controls the
air to the pump and the tank module should be placed
outside the EX-classed area.
The EX approved cable should be used to connect the
level sensor on the tank inside the EX-classed area
with the EX-barrier outside the EX-classed area.
