Products
M+F - Systems: COTAS
The Terminal Automation System COTAS is the complete solution for automating small, medium and large tank terminals. It has accumulated hundreds of years of trouble free reliable operation all across Europe, thus offering unrivalled user friendliness and integrity through the Windows graphical user interface. The PC-based COTAS loading computer system coordinates all system modules in the tank farm, from product reception and inventory control to product delivery. It is connected with all the instrumentation in the field and controls the loading processes. To standardize the communication between the different systems (PLC, Flow Computer, Level gauges etc.) COTAS uses OPC-technology for the trouble-free interconnection of these modules.
M+F - Systems: MFX_4
The high-performance MFX_4 flow computer complies with the highest standards, allowing for flexible and reliable custody transfer measurement and blending as well as the management of processes for the handling of liquids and, in particular, oil. With more than 30 years of operating experience and in excess of 15,000 installations, the fourth generation combines long-standing industry know-how with state-of-the-art technologies.
M+F - Solutions: Skid Systems
We provide you with a broad range of modular and scalable skids for the handling of oil products that are tailored to your respective needs. For example, compact metering skids (CMS) facilitate the custody transfer measurement of oil products. Furthermore, compact blending units (CBU) allow for the injection of additives and dyeing of the product stream. Additionally, compact metering skids and blending units can be easily combined modularly to create complete multi-product loading stations. Our components of course meet all mandatory legal requirements, standards and guidelines, such as ATEX and MID.

MFX_4 Terminal Pro
The MFX_4 Terminal Pro is the enhanced version of the human-machine interface (HMI) from the MFX_4 family for the use in explosive atmospheres with Zone 1 classification. The terminal enables communication with the MFX_4 Controller, with other suitable system participants or with connected host systems such as SCADA or TAS systems. In order to ensure optimal ease of use, it is equipped with a configurable graphic, high-contrast and full-colour display. It also offers a user interface in several languages and displays all of the attached system´s process data. To address the importance of legibility in difficult operating conditions, the MFX_4 Terminal Pro comes with a 10.4'' colour display and is able to display the process data in various font sizes. The alphanumeric keypad of the MFX_4 Terminal Pro is also euipped with assignable buttons. This allows the display to be individually configured for a wide range of applications. With the direct support of the MFX_4 RFID card reader, its TCP/IP connection and the optional control inputs and outputs, the MFX_4 Terminal Pro is also fully equipped to serve as a separate access control for inflows and outflows in the loading terminal, for example.
MFX_4 Compact EX
The MFX_4 COMPACT EX combines the functionalities of MFX_4 Controller Ex and MFX_4 Terminal Ex in one unit. By integrating the controller, a one-box solution for Ex area is now available, which is capable of controlling the complete loading process for two loading arms including additives. In addition, the external RFID card reader enables usage authorisation in manual mode. After authentication, the data of the RFID card is saved with the loading data. As for all MFX_4 systems, the MFX_4 COMPACT EX can be integrated into an existing field bus (CanOpen) to display and control additional external MFX_4 controllers. For optimum user-friendliness it is equipped with a configurable graphic, high-contrast and full-colour display. The MFX_4 COMPACT PRO EX meets the high demands on readability in difficult operating environments with its graphic 10.4" color display and the ability to display process data in various font sizes. The solid foil keyboard of the MFX_4 COMPACT PRO Ex is also equipped with user configurable keys. This means that the screen can be individually configured for a wide range of applications. For fans of a mechanical keyboard, the completely newly developed Heavy Duty Keyboard is available, which has successfully passed several endurance tests and can be used optionally with any MFX_4 Ex system.
MFX_4 Compact TT
The MFX_4 COMPACT TT combines the functionalities of the MFX_4 Controller and MFX_4 Terminal in one housing. By integrating the controller, a one-box solution is now available that can control the complete loading process for two loading arms including additives. In addition, the integrated RFID card reader enables the user to authorize use even in manual mode. After authentication, the data of the RFID card is saved with the loading data. All MFX_4 systems can be easily integrated, quickly configured and remotely maintained during operation due to the support of various protocols and communication standards. In order to significantly expand the range of possible applications, the MFX_4 data acquisition system is characterized by its distributed architecture of central computing and decentralized operating units. As all MFX_4 systems, the MFX_4 COMPACT TT can be integrated into an existing field bus (CanOpen) to display and control additional external MFX_4 controllers. By using one MFX_4 COMPACT TT and two further external dual controllers, six charging arms can thus be displayed and controlled simultaneously on the MFX_4 COMPACT TT display.
