Adding Tank Equipment Class Properties

After creating the equipment class for the tank (TNK), you need to add the control properties Density, Depth, Inner Pressure, and Temperature.

The Tank equipment class properties include creating alarms for the Inner Pressure and Temperature. However, to gain experience updating equipment assets using the Bulk Asset Configurator, we will input alarms separately. Learn more
