Attended, stand-alone A simple example of an attended, stand-alone system where the PSS 5000 pro-
vides wet stock control is shown below:
Note: The term stand-alone is used when a POS is not present in the system.
In this scenario, the PSS 5000 is used to provide transaction data to the Tank
Gauge System (TGS) so it can verify that all the wet stock movements are le-
gitimate.
The functionality of the attended, stand-alone site can be extended when a
head office application, such as Site Info, is introduced. This enables price
changes and similar services to be implemented remotely from the head office.
Unattended, stand-alone A simple example of an unattended, stand-alone system for unattended self-
service is shown below:
Note: The term stand-alone is used when a POS is not present in the system.
In this scenario, the PSS 5000 is used to control the fuel pump and authoriza-
tion is controlled via a 3rd party payment solution for cards and/or bank notes.
Attended, with POS A simple example of an attended site, with 2 POS connections, is shown be-
low:
In this scenario, the PSS 5000 is used to control the fuel pumps and connect to
the Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminals. Payments for the transactions take place
via the POS terminals.
Vehicle Tagging, either A simple example of an attended site that uses vehicle tagging is shown below:
attended or unattended
In this scenario, the vehicle is identified using a vehicle inlet tag, which is read
by the nozzle reader. When a valid tag is presented, the PSS 5000 is able to
authorize the dispenser to start. If the connection between the vehicle tag and
nozzle reader is broken, then the dispenser stops the fuelling until the two are
reconnected. Payments for the transactions take place via the POS terminals.
In this scenario, the PSS 5000 controls the operations of the forecourt pumps,
price poles and payment terminals, and provides a generic interface to the
Tank Gauge System for a readout of inventory data and deliveries. The PSS
5000 also ensures that any price changes are shown correctly on both the
pumps and price poles.
Business hosts and service organizations are able to take advantage of the net-
work connection to the PSS 5000. They are able to monitor the status of the
sites, gathering diagnostics and stock movements. This helps them to perform
planned maintenance tasks, optimize wet stock deliveries, and upload new
software, which can provide new features or improve some of the current op-
erations.
Changes to the forecourt The modularity of the PSS 5000, with its hardware interface modules and as-
environment sociated application software, makes it easy for the PSS 5000 to match any
changes made to the forecourt devices. By simply changing the modules to
match the devices on the forecourt and updating the application software, the
PSS 5000 is able to move forward as the site grows and changes. Because the
PSS 5000 with its standardized interface to the POS is situated between the
forecourt devices and the POS, then these device additions/changes rarely re-
quire changes to the POS.
Equipment interfaces in The PSS 5000 provides interfaces to a wide variety of forecourt devices. These
the PSS 5000 can be classified in the groups listed below:
PSS 5000 business logic The PSS 5000 business logic provides a multitude of features. The major ones
are listed in the table below:
Vapor Recovery Controller PSS can manage German VRM rules or interface to
pumps that do.
Wash Controller PSS has, using the IFSF protocol, two different modes
for car washing machines.
• Monitoring totals only
• Full control
Application Managers
Operation Manager Manages operational changes due to, for example, the
time of day or night, rush hour traffic, or a fall-back situ-
ation.
Embedded Back Office Supports Open and Closed reports which contain, for
System example:
• Pump totalizer period changes
• Gauged wetstock changes
• Till Totals
Performance Measure- Measurements for each pump, for example peak and
ments average flow-rates, time to start and activity (number of
transactions).
Forecourt controller The services present in the PSS 5000 are available through several interfaces.
interfaces These, together with a brief description of what each interface offers, are listed
in the table below:
Interfaces Description
FCC Web Application This is the primary interface for technicians configuring
and servicing the PSS 5000.
Concept of the PSS 5000 Each PSS 5000 includes the following base elements:
hardware
• Cabinet, which functions as a connection box and houses the other hard-
ware components.
• CPU Board, which provides the processing power of the unit.
• Power supply, which is selected to match the local mains supply.
After these base elements come the Hardware Interface Modules (HIMs).
These must be selected to match the specific devices present on the individual
petrol station forecourt. The number and types of HIMs are selected to fit the
individual stations. If the connection requirements to the forecourt devices
change, then new modules can be added and unused modules removed.

3.1 Cabinet
Description of the PSS The cabinet is a single box solution. It houses the hardware and software com-
5000 cabinet ponents of the PSS 5000, and it functions as a connection box for all the fore-
court devices.
The cabinet is robust, which protects the contents from knocks and jolts, and
when closed the cabinet ensures that the PSS 5000 retains its CE approval. It
is designed to be mounted on a wall in a non-hazardous environment (electri-
cal room or office). This gives easy access to the contents of the box via the
hinged door on the front.
PSS 5000 cabinet For a full list of specifications for the cabinet, see ‘PSS 5000 CPU Board spec-
specifications ifications’ on page 26.
CPU Board processor The CPU Board, with its processor and operating system provides a fast and
and operating system stable platform for the PSS 5000. The operating system is Linux, which has
been custom built to fit this purpose. This ensures that the necessary perfor-
mance and priorities for time-critical tasks are met, while leaving plenty of
headroom for future feature developments.
CPU Board physical The CPU Board is fitted with a number of physical port connectors. The table
ports below provides descriptions of the individual ports.
Primary Ethernet The Primary Ethernet port enables you to connect the
PSS 5000 to a PC, either directly or through a Local
Area Network (LAN).
Secondary Ethernet The primary function of this port is to provide direct ac-
cess to the embedded web server. This means it can
be used by service personnel, who do not have access
via the network connected to the Primary Ethernet port.
Note: The 2 ports are isolated from each other, pre-
venting access between the networks.
CPU Board Local When a PC is not available, then access to the PSS 5000 is possible using the
Service Panel Local Service Panel. This consists of an LCD and 5 navigation buttons. The
LCD enables you to read a reduced assortment of Service Menus and informa-
tion stored in the PSS 5000, while the buttons enable you to navigate through
the menus shown on the LCD and change the values of parameters. The Ser-
vice Panel is also used to modify the IP settings of the PSS 5000.
Sealing switch The sealing switch enables the application software to be hardware sealed ac-
cording to OIML regulations. This provides a flexible approved solution for
upgrading the PSS 5000 application without requiring re-approval or breaking
the seal.
PSS 5000 CPU Board For a full list of specifications for the CPU Board, see ‘PSS 5000 CPU Board
specifications specifications’ on page 26.
Description of the HIMs Hardware Interface Modules are interface adapters. They provide a link be-
tween the many types of forecourt devices, with their proprietary serial inter-
faces, and the CPU Board of the PSS 5000. The illustration below is a simple
example where 2 pumps are connected to their respective HIMs.
The HIMs provide a scalable solution too. When new devices are added to the
forecourt configuration, or old devices replaced with new ones that use a dif-
ferent protocol, it is a simple matter of adding a new HIM or replacing an ex-
isting one to suit the new protocol.
Illustration of HIMs Examples of a DSB HIM and a DMB HIM are shown below.
Note: The black serial connectors on the DMB modules are wider than those
on the DSB models. This extra width is a result of more pins, which are
required for the signals used to control the onboard multiplexer.
PSS 5000 HIM protocols For a full list of protocols supported by the HIMs, see ‘5 PSS 5000 Protocols’
on page 18.
Description of the This is a flash-based, non-volatile 8MB memory module. It is an option that
Memory Module provides W&M/MID-approved, long term storage for unattended transac-
tions. Each module has a capacity for almost 100 000 unattended transactions.
Up to 4 modules can be connected to a single DSB port.
Description of the Digital This is an eight channel parallel input/output module. Primarily, it is used as an output
I/O Module module to control devices such as light switches or as an input module to register
alarms from external devices. These functions can have the following benefits:
• Power control for remote, or isolated devices. Only after proper authorization is re-
ceived is the power supply available to the device.
• Implementation of status indicators – enabling users to see at a glance if the devic-
es are available or already in use.
• Alarm triggering on equipment outside the control of the PSS 5000. Reduces time
by being able to monitor more from a central location.
• Reduce utility costs by turning off services in certain areas during slow periods of
the day.
The uses of such a module are varied. They can, for example, be used to control the
power supply to remote dispensers, reducing the incidents of theft by providing a fail-
safe, no by-pass of the devices.
LON Interface module This option uses a single module that has 12 connec-
(DSB522) tors, each of which provides a terminated LON inter-
face.
Note: Only one LON interface can be installed on each PSS 5000 system.
This provides an Echel 2-wire twisted pair LON interface, which meets the
IFSF signal requirements, and supports a "free" topology, which means that
the LON interface can be connected to a number of devices without point-to-
point terminations.
