1.1 Introduction
The installation of the optional IFSM module can extend the ADP type calculator (the calculator below) to
the IFSF dispenser standard interface. When installed the IFSM module has the influence to the calculator‘s
behaviour. Consequently the sense of some calculator’s parameters has been changed. This appendix
describes the differences of the IFSF variant of the calculator comparing to the calculator without the IFSM
module installed.
In general the parameters’ sense changes are of the two types:
1. Some parameters have the extended and/or completely changed sense. E.g. the fuelling point
addresses (parameters no 1 and 2) have been used for setting of the dispenser IFSF address.
2. Those of the calculator’s parameters, which equivalents have been defined in the IFSF standard
of the dispenser can be changed using the service keyboard with no influence to calculator’s IFSF
database. The values set using the keyboard are copied to the calculator’s IFSF database upon
setting to the value of 1 the parameter no 49. See the description of the parameter no 49 below.
Remark: The parameters with no equivalent in the IFSF standard of the dispenser can only be changed
using service keyboard.
Note: It is supposed that IFSF Controller Device sets the IFSF parameters just prior every dispesnser
openning procedure.

1.2 Calculator’s Parameters in IFSF Mode

The parameters, which have been changed in the IFSF mode, are listed in the table below. The list has
been completed with brief description of the new (IFSF) sense of each parameter. Also the IFSF standard
equivalent of the parameter is added (if it exists). For the IFSF parameters description see, please the IFSF
standards – documents [1] a [2].
The following paragraphs describe the changes performed when the IFSM module has been installed to the
calculator. It means that the sense of the not listed parameters stays unchanged.

1.3 Parameters Description

This chapter describes more precisely the sense and/or function some of the parameters listed in the Table 3
above.

1.3.1 Parameters 1, 2 – IFSF Address Setting

The IFSF address setting in general
The IFSF address of each device consists of two parts – subnet and node:
[S:N].
Note:The IFSF standards of the different forecourt devices have been defined. – dispenser (i.e. calculator),
tank gauge, price pole, car wash, payment terminal, etc.
The Subnet part (S) of the IFSF address has been the identification of the device type (the dispenser subnet
value is 1 according to IFSF standard; i.e. the dispenser IFSF addresses have been defined [1:1], [1:2], [1:3],
…, [1:N]). It means the subnet address has been dedicated to the device and never been set.
Node (N) defines the IFSF address of the particular device type. It means the dispenser address has to be set
for each dispenser.
Warning: Each IFSF device address (Node) has to be unique to make sure the correct communication
function on the site.

The setting of the calculator’s IFSF address

The value of the calculator parameter no 1 defines the IFSF address of the calculator. The values from 1 to
31 have been allowed.
Warning: The values of the parameter no 1 have been allowed from 0 to 32 in case of the non-IFSF ADP
calculator.
No special sense of the parameter no 2 is defined from the IFSF point of view. However, the value of the
parameter no 2 has to be set to:
– parameter no 1 value incremented by 1,
– 0 in case of the single-sided dispenser (i.e. the side B does not exist).
Warning: Consequently, the simple change of the parameters 1, 2 values cannot be used to exchange the
fuelling points of the dispenser in case of the IFSF variant of the calculator.

1.3.2 Parameter 49 – the IFSF Database Initialisation

The complete initialisation of the IFSF databases of the calculator can be performed. It is done when setting
of the value of the parameter no 49 to 1 (using the service keyboard), and the restarting the calculator (which
can be achieved either by finishing the parameters setting or by power-off and following power-on of the
calculator).
Warning: All transactions stored in the IFSF database of the calculator are cleared. It means the
transactions are lost after the initialisation has been performed.
Warning: The initialization does NOT affect the values of any totals.
After the successfull initialization of the IFSF databases, the value of the parameter no. 49 automatically
changes back to 0.
 CHAPTER 1
IFSF Parameters Setting 7

1.3.3 Parameter 51 – the calculator’s Stand-alone Mode Setting

The stand-alone mode (MAN) can be set changing the value of the parameter no 51 to 1.
The parameter’s 51 value automatically resets back to 0 after the next restart of the calculator (power-on or
the software, e.g. next parameters setting).
Note: The IFSF database data element Assign_Contr_Id (Fuelling Point database) is completely under the
control of the Controller Device(s) - CD. It means the CD can change the stand-alone and automatic modes
freely writing the proper value to the Assign_Contr_Id data element.
Note: It is not possible to change the unit prices for the IFSF standalone mode using the infra-red
keyboard.

1.4 The F10 Error

In case of the IFSM add-on module fault, the IFSF calculator displays the error F10.

1.5 IFSF Interface

The default values of many IFSF data elements are taken from the calculator parameters during the master
reset procedure (for more details, see please the description of the calculator parameter no. 49 above). It is
the IFSF controller device responsibility to ensure the accurate configuration of every IFSF calculator prior
openning for fuelling. The controller device should ensure that virtually ALL IFSF database elements have
the propper values (for more details, please reffer [1] and [2]).
The following chapters list the implementation specifics (based on the field experiences) of the Beta Control
IFSF calculators.

1.5.1 Fuelling point map

The IFSF controller device should setup the fuelling point map, i.e. at least:
l the required number of nozzles per fuelling points,
l the meters per nozzles assignments,
l the products per nozzless assignments and
l the products per meters assignments.
For more details please reffer [2].
The Beta Control IFSF calculator does not support any fuelling point map as the fuelling point map depends
on the physical dispenser configuration. For example: The IFSF controller device will fail to configure 4
nozzles whilst the dispenser physically has only two nozzles.
The fuelling point map configuration involves at least the following IFSF database elements:

Logical Nozzle FP_ID (21H-24H) + LN_ID(11H-18H) Meter_1_Id

1.5.2 Display layout

The display layout differs from country to country. The IFSF controller device CANNOT assume that the
default (factory) settings of the display layout meet the given country specifics. Please note that the impropper
configuration of the display layout will probably result in the invalid fuelling transaction values.
Warning: The IFSF country code setting DOES NOT affect the display layout!
The IFSF display layout configuration involves the following elements of the IFSF data elements:

Calculator C_DAT (01H) Digits_Amount_Layout
Calculator C_DAT (01H) Digits_Unit_Price
Calculator C_DAT (01H) Unit_Price_Mult_Fact

1.5.3 Minimum Fuelling Volume

The IFSF sepcification defines the zero transaction like the transaction having the volume less than the
configured minimum fuelling volume. Consequently, in case that the value of the Min_Fuelling_Vol is 0,
there is NO zero transaction! Moreover, if the Min_Fuelling_Vol is 0 then the IFSF calculator stores every
fuelling transaction, regardless of the zero transaction mode.
The minimum fuelling volume configuration involves the following IFSF data elements:

IFSF Database Database ID IFSF data element

Calculator C_DAT (01H) Min_Fuelling_Vol

The zero transaction mode has to be configured prior every transaction release. It involves the following
IFSF data elements:

1.6 Errors mapping

The dispenser IFSF databases support the erros reporting facility. Unfortunately, the IFSF error codes set is
not reach enough to allow the unique mapping of all possible calculator errors. Consequently, a single IFSF
error covers one or even a few calculator errors. Please also note that only the fatal calculator errors are
mapped to IFSF errors (in other words, the nonfatal calculator errors are not reported to the IFSF controller
device)!

1.6.1 IFSF errors

The following table lists all possible calculator errors corresponding to given IFSF error reported to the IFSF
controller device.
The occurence of any IFSF error which is not listed in the table below does NOT correspond to the calculator
error.
