Pts-1 Controller Over Fuel Dispensers And Atg Systems

PTS-1 controller over fuel dispensers and ATG (automatic tank gauge) systems for petrol stations serves as a protocols converter. It knows communication protocols of a more than 120 brands of fuel dispensers and more than 45 brands of ATG systems and probes and allows control over any of them in exactly the same way using its own input communication protocol. POS system (cash register, payment terminal) should not matter what is the brand of fuel dispenser or ATG system connected – it simply communicates to the PTS-1 controller the same way regardless the brand of fuel dispensers and ATG systems used, PTS-1 controller undertakes all work on communication with fuel dispensers and ATG systems using their native communication protocol and takes into account all their peculiarities. This completely simplifies work for a POS system developer: by having implemented input common communication protocol of PTS-1 controller the POS becomes able to provide control over any of fuel dispensers and ATG systems supported by PTS-1 controller. PTS-1 controller itself converts input communication protocol into proprietary communication protocols of fuel dispensers and ATG systems. Thus the time required for development of POS system for petrol stations is significantly reduced. Features and benefits # Supports over 70 communication protocols of fuel dispensers and ATG systems. List of supported communication protocols is constantly growing. A wide range of international protocols as Wayne DART, Gilbarco 2-wire, Tokheim, Tatsuno are included. Single firmware of PTS-1 controller contains all available communication protocols for fuel dispensers and ATG systems. Unified approach to management over any forecourt equipment - using PTS-1 controller control over any supported fuel dispenser or ATG system is done in exactly the same way by the management system (POS system, cash register, OPT terminal, etc). PTS-1 controller has a single common communication protocol. Thus having once implemented the protocol into the management system (or its API) the management system will be able to provide control over any of the supported fuel dispensers and ATG systems in exactly the same way. Conversion between pumps protocols - in case if POS system already knows some open communication protocol of dispensers - then it can use PTS-1 controller for its conversion to any other pump protocols. Conversion between ATG consoles protocols - in case if POS system already knows some open communication protocol of ATG consoles - then it can use PTS-1 controller for its conversion to any other ATG console or probe protocols. Real-time control over fuel dispensers and ATG systems. PTS-1 controller provides a hardware solution for stable and reliable operation of forecourt equipment. Scalability - PTS-1 controller provides control over up to 16 dispenser sides, in case of necessity several PTS-1 controllers can work simutaneously. Possibility to provide control over same fuel dispensers from several POS systems and receive data on ATG measurements from any interconnected PTS to each POS system - PTS-1 controllers, installed near each of the POS systems, can be interconnected with each other allowing each of the POS systems to provide control over each of the connected fuel dispensers or monitor its state and to have data measurements of ATG systems connected to any of the interconnected PTS-1 controllers. Rich set of interface converters for connection to fuel dispensers - PTS-1 controller has output pump ports in RS-485 interface so can be directly connected to fuel dispensers with this type of interface. Other dispensers having communication interface of 2-wire current loop, 3-wire current loop, 4-wire current loop, RS-232 interface are connected to PTS-1 controller through special interface converters. Rich software API for developers - PTS-1 controller is supplied with full API (application programming interfaces) and open-source test applications for common programming languages and operation platforms: C, C++, C#, Delphi, Java, Python, Visual Basic, COM-object. "All in one" configuration tool for PTS-1 controller: one configuration utility provides configuration of its pump and probe ports, internal parameters, reads version, makes firmware updates, captures logging from any channel and makes self-diagnostics of the PTS-1 controller. Easy firmware updating - All new firmware updates are available for download to all existing customers. Firmware update process takes about 1 minute. Easy way to back up and restore PTS-1 controller configuration between updates. Logging of operation - in order to remove problematic situations of PTS-1 controller communication with any forecourt equipment logging of communication exchange without interrupting PTS-1 controller operation is available, which allows quick search and elimination of any found problems. Self-diagnostics of operation - easy and quick built-in diagnostics of PTS-1 controller operation: CPU, memory, RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces, DIP-switches. Constant software updates - PTS-1 controller firmware is constantly being improved, new protocols are being added and latest updates are always available for download to all customers. Support by developers for developers - 24 hours support for all customers of PTS-1 controller on any standing issues. Credit-card size and suits to any dimension for installation inside master systems. Learn more: https://www.technotrade.ua/fuel-pump-controller.html
