CONNECTION TO CONTROL SYSTEM

Connection to the control system (POS system, cash register, OPT terminal, etc) is made through a PC port,
which has RS-232 interface.

Scheme of connections:

In case if the control system does not have a COM-port – it is possible to use any type of converter to COM-
port (like USB-to-COM converter, Ethernet-to-COM, others).

Communication with PTS controller is made using commands and responses described in UniPump
communication protocol (own proprietary protocol of TECHNOTRADE LTD) – see document “UniPump
communication protocol specification for PTS controller over fuel dispensers and ATG systems” for more
information. Thus PTS controller provides conversion of the common communication protocol UniPump
into various proprietary communication protocols of fuel dispensers and ATG systems.

Revision: R02 Review date: 29 July, 2013

CONNECTION TO FUEL DISPENSERS

PTS controller can simultaneously control up to 16 fueling places (16 sides of 1-sided dispensers or 8 sides
of 2-sided fuel dispensers) that use up to 4 various communication protocols (each of the pump channels
can be adjusted to a separate communication protocol and baud rate and connect up to 16 fueling places)
(see section “Examples of connection to fuel dispensers”).

NOTE: if there are less than 4 various types of fuel dispensers at petrol station (which use various exchange
protocols) – it is recommended to distribute fuel dispensers between 4 PTS controller channels in
approximately equal quantities in order to minimize delays between fuel dispensers querying in the same
channel.

Revision: R02 Review date: 29 July, 2013

CONNECTION TO ATG SYSTEMS

PTS controller can simultaneously control up to 16 ATG probes (gauges) (separate probes or probes
connected to ATG systems / consoles) that use up to 3 various communication protocols (each of the ATG
channels can be adjusted to a separate communication protocol and baud rate and connect up to 16 ATG
probes) (see section “Examples of connection to ATG systems”).

NOTE: DISP channel provides a possibility to connect ATG system (probes) over either RS-485 or RS-232
interfaces – interface is selected using a jumper XP4, located on PTS PCB board.

Revision: R02 Review date: 29 July, 2013

PTS CONTROLLER MULTI POS SYSTEMS OPERATION

PTS controller allows a possibility to lead management over the same fuel dispensers from several POS
systems and share ATG probes measurement values between several interconnected PTS controllers. Thus
every interconnected PTS controller is able to provide control over any of the connected fuel dispensers
and know ATG system measurement data of every other interconnected PTS controller.

Scheme of PTS controllers interconnections:

NOTE! In order to enable PTS interconnection a jumper XP4 should be selected for DISP RS-485 interface
and DISP channel should not be configured for any ATG system (see section “PTS controller configuration”).

www.technotrade.ua page 17 from 182

 PTS CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS (PTS-U3)
Revision: R02 Review date: 29 July, 2013

Configuration:
At necessity to organize several working places at petrol station (several POS systems) each of the POS
systems should have its own PTS controller connected. PTS controllers should be interconnected with each
other through a dispatcher PTS port (DISP channel on RS-485 interface) and with fuel dispensers. Thus
control over each fuel dispenser at petrol station can be made from every POS system and each PTS
controller will know measurement data of every ATG probe connected to any of the interconnected PTS
controllers. At authorization of a fuel dispenser from one POS system the fuel dispenser becomes locked by
PTS controller of this POS system and while it is locked all other POS systems can not control over given fuel
dispenser, they can only monitor current state of the fuel dispenser. When operation of given POS system
is finished with given fuel dispenser, PTS controller of this POS system unlocks the fuel dispenser and it
becomes commonly available for all other PTS controllers, which makes it possible to be controlled (locked)
by any of the PTS controllers connected to other POS systems.

NOTE! In order to provide control over same fuel dispensers from several PTS controllers locking and
unlocking of dispensers is required. For this reason in configuration of PTS controller in parameters for PTS
controller ‘Lock’ and ‘Unlock’ commands should be set to be used (see section “Configuration of
parameters for PTS controller”).

NOTE! In order to provide correct exchange of ATG systems measurement data between interconnected
PTS controllers logical addresses of connected ATG probes in configuration of interconnected PTS
controllers should not intersect.

cases when there are several control systems installed at the same sight (petrol station) each having its
own PTS controller connected and each of these control systems should be able to provide control over any
of the fuel dispensers on the sight. Using these commands ‘Lock’ and ‘Unlock’ gives a possibility for each
control system to provide control over any of the connected fuel dispensers, Read more about it below in
section “PTS controller multi POS systems operation”.

In case if parameters are set not to use commands ‘Lock’ and ‘Unlock’ – then PTS will always respond that
pump is locked.

Configuration of parameters for interface converters

Form for configuration of parameters for PTS controller is called from main form main menu tab
‘Parameters’ → ‘Interface converter parameters’.

Parameters for interface converters are used for some of manufactured interface converters working

Logging of PTS controller operation

With a reason to quickly locate and remove possible bugs in PTS controller communication with connected
equipment (fuel dispensers, ATG systems, other PTS controllers in PTS interconnection) PTS controller has a
possibility of logging of its exchange with connected equipment. Use Pts_conf.exe utility to save in a control
system exchange logs of PTS controller with connected equipment.

Before taking a log from PTS controller it is necessary to configure a channel, from which a log will be taken.
Scheme of connections of the PTS controller should be same as for configuration:

In Pts_conf.exe utility leave a COM-port closed. Form for logging is called from main form main menu tab
‘Logging’ → ‘Logging’.

BUILT-IN PUMP SIMULATOR

In order to make easy debugging of control systems without a fuel dispenser connected to PTS controller a
simulator of fuel dispenser is present in PTS controller firmware. There are 2 pump simulators present:
pump protocol “13. PUMP SIMULATOR 10”
pump protocol “37. PUMP SIMULATOR”
When any of these protocols is selected in configuration of the PTS controller – baud rate can be set any.

Purpose of the pump simulator protocol is to help developers in debugging of the control system software
over PTS controller at absence of real dispenser pumphead for connection or software simulators of fuel
dispenser.

When protocol “37. PUMP SIMULATOR” is selected then for pump with logical address 1 position of first 4
nozzles is selected using a DIP switch on the PTS controller board (DIP-switch has 4 switches: switch 1 is
responsible for position of nozzle 1, switch 2 – for nozzle 2 and so on). For pumps with logical addresses 2 –
16 the pumps always have nozzle 1 up (nozzle can not be placed down).

In protocol “13. PUMP SIMULATOR 10” all pumps always have nozzle1 up.

Pump simulators allow to:

authorize a dispenser with preset volume or amount values
simulate dispensing of fuel through this dispenser and stop it at necessity
set prices to dispenser and get prices from dispenser
read total counters values (both amount and volume) (total counters are lead on each of the
nozzles separately and are dropped to zero at restart of the PTS controller)

Difference of protocol “13. PUMP SIMULATOR 10” from protocol “37. PUMP SIMULATOR” is that when an
order is given in protocol “37. PUMP SIMULATOR” – dispensing is made from zero till the ordered dose.
When an order is given in protocol “13. PUMP SIMULATOR 10” – then dispensing is made from ordered
dose minus ten liters till the ordered dose, so always only last ten liters are dispensed (this is useful for
purposes when there is a need to make quick void sales for book keeping account at control systems).

PTS CONTROLLER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT (SDK)

PTS controller SDK appointment

PTS controller SDK (Software Development Kit) is appointed on developers of control system software
applications (POS system, cash register, OPT terminal, etc) for petrol stations providing control over fuel
dispensers and ATG systems through PTS controller.

PTS controller SDK includes a PTS controller and RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board, which allow to
run software simulators of fuel dispensers and ATG systems on personal computer and debug operation of
control systems software with PTS controller on it without a necessity to connect to real fuel dispensers
and ATG systems. Thus it is convenient to work in office or at home rather than on a working petrol station
being connected to real equipment.

PTS controller SDK allows developers to:

1. Study operation with the PTS controller.
2. Implement the PTS controller into own developed POS system or software application for control over
fuel dispensers and ATG level measurement systems for petrol stations.
3. Debug own POS system or software application to work correctly with PTS controller by watching how
NaftaPOS software provides it, implement the same behavior in own system.
4. Debug own software application to correctly provide control over various popular fuel dispensers
locally (on the workplace) without a necessity to go to the petrol station and connect to real fuel
dispensers using supplied with PTS SDK fuel dispensers software simulators, which simulate operation
of various popular fuel dispensers. Through an interface converter RS-485 / RS-232, supplied together
with PTS SDK, connect a PTS controller output RS-485 to a PC COM-port with fuel dispensers software
simulators.

PTS SDK box includes 2 boards mounted inside of a plastic case (PTS controller board and RS-232/RS-485
interface converter board) and all required cablings for power supply and communication of these boards.

Control systems software, which uses UniPump communication protocol, connects to the PTS controller
SDK box through a connector with inscription “RS-232 (control system)” is connected.

Fuel dispenser software simulator is connected to the PTS controller SDK box through a connector with
inscription “RS-232 (fuel dispenser simulator)”.

RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board is used in order to convert signals coming from PTS controller
pump channels in RS-485 interface into signals of RS-232 interface for the fuel dispenser software
simulator, which runs on PC and communicates through a COM-port. RS-232/RS-485 interface converter
board has 2 independent conversion circuits, so it is possible to simultaneously connect 2 fuel dispenser’s
simulators to PTS controller pump channels using the same RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board.
Connection of pump port to RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board is made through cable C029 and
C018-1. Connection of the RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board to PC COM-port is made through
cables C020.

For connection to software simulators of ATG systems PTS controller does not need the RS-232/RS-485
interface converter board because ATG port is already in RS-232 interface and can be connected through
cables C029-3 and C033 to the COM-port of PC, where the ATG systems software simulator is launched.

Cable C014 serves as a standard prolonger of RS-232 interface.

Thus it is possible to debug a correct operation of software, being developed, with the PTS controller
without a necessity to connect to real fuel dispensers and ATG systems, but using fuel dispenser’s software
simulators and ATG system’s software simulators.

RS-232/RS-485 interface converter operation

Signals of RS-232 interface enter the MAX232 chip, where are converted into signals of TTL logics, and after
conversion go through optocouplers H11L1, that serve for galvanic isolation of transmitter and receiver,
enter the TTL input of MAX485 chip, from the output of which signals of RS-485 interface are received.
Analogous behavior takes places in contrary direction of signals.

The board of the Converter has 2 separate channels, the only thing which unites them is source voltage
+5 V, which feeds interface RS-232. Voltage +5 V for circuits of RS-485 interface of the channels is taken
from separate DC-DC converters with galvanical isolation for the channels.

Depending on the state of switches Sn (where n=1,2 – number of channel) output of RS-485 interface can
be adjusted for operation in half-duplex or full-duplex modes (2-wire or 4-wire schemes of connection
accordingly). When switches Sn:1, Sn:3, Sn:4 (where n=1,2 – number of channel) are in position “OFF” – the
Converter works in full-duplex (4-wire) mode of RS-485 interface, in position “ON” - the Converter works in
half-duplex (2-wire) mode of RS-485 interface. Switch Sn:2 (where n=1,2 – number of channel) is intended
for switching on (position “OFF”) or turning off (position “ON”) of echo mode in half-duplex (2-wire) mode
of RS-485 interface (repeating of all signals, received on input).

Half-duplex (2-wire) mode of RS-485 interface requires presence of RTS (Request To Send) signal on the
input of RS-232 interface for synchronization of transmit/receive. In case if RTS signal is impossible to
receive from the source of signal of RS-232 interface, then it is possible to generate it with a help of RTS
generating chips of each channel, which are installed only in case of such necessity. If input of RS-232
interface contains RTS signals and RTS generating chips are not installed then it is necessary to place a
jumper Jn (where n=1,2 – number of channel) for the required channel, in contrary case the jumper should
be removed.

Running NaftaPOS software

NaftaPOS software is to be started by running NaftaPOS.exe. After checking of connected equipment you
will see a desktop of NaftaPOS (graphical user interface is adjustable in right-mouse button menu).

In “NaftaPOS” shift mode of operation is applied. Cashier at beginning of operation should open a new shift
(in main menu tab ‘Shift’ → item ‘New shift’). Shift control is required in order to make the system operate
under responsibility of the logged cashier (under his personal login and password) and thus make him bear
responsibility for all actions happening at petrol station. Shift control can be switched off in configuration of
NaftaPOS on tab ‘General’.

Detailed description on running the NaftaPOS system is given in section “Step by step configuration” below.

To understand better how to work in NaftaPOS and lead control over fuel dispensers, sales of products and
management over a petrol station – please read documentation and see online videos on the NaftaPOS
software web-page: http://www.technotrade.ua/petrol_station_software.html.

Localization of NaftaPOS software to any language is quite easy. All text strings and their correspondent
translation is located in XML file lang.xml in root folder of NaftaPOS software.

which leads to displaying of all fuel points’ IDs and corresponding fuel points’ addresses configured to given
pump channel for a PTS controller in a field below. Selecting one of the fuel point IDs and pressing OK
button leads to linking given fuel point icon to selected fuel point ID and displaying its status. Selecting of a
PTS pump channel with value 0 will lead to switching off a fuel point icon.

Given window for each of the fuel points also contains a list of 6 nozzles for setting of prices per 1
liter/gallon of fuel, dispensed through these nozzles, in a range 0,00 – 999,99. If a fuel point has less than 6
nozzles – prices will be set only for first number of nozzles, which a fuel point has.

Clicking ‘Set prices’ button leads to updating prices on selected fuel point. Clicking ‘Get prices’ leads to
receiving of prices from selected fuel point.

Clicking OK button leads to updating a fuel point icon and updating (creating) a file “Config.xml” in root
folder with configuration of fuel point icons. At launching of a PTS controller .NET application next time
configuration of fuel point icons will be read from this file “Config.xml” in root folder.

Reading of fuel point total counters

In the end of every dispensing application itself reads total counters from the pump on the nozzle, whih
was dispensing. At this a sign of totals reading appears in the left top corner of the pump icon (and under
the header of the ‘T’ command is displayed, which means that currently PTS controller processes
TotalInfoRequest command).

Total counters can be updated at any moment from any of the pumps. Selecting of a button “Totals” on a

2. Authorization polling:
Keep polling when pump is in READY state – after the Start button is clicked to authorize a
dispenser, but nozzle is not taken up on the dispenser, the fuel point displays READY state; this
option enables to keep constantly sending authorization command in READY state (until nozzle is
taken up of fuel point and it is authorized)
Do not poll when pump is in READY state – after the Start button is clicked to authorize a
dispenser, but nozzle is not taken up on the dispenser, the fuel point displays READY state; this
option enables to send authorization command only once at clicking on a ‘Start’ button of fuel point
icon
3. Extended commands:

Step-by-step configuration of the PTS controller SDK

Purpose
In order to simplify understanding of PTS controller SDK operation and assembling this step-by-step
instruction is provided. It describes basic steps to be made with PTS controller SDK to assemble it correctly
and also to install and configure software coming in its structure.

Step 1. Downloading of PTS controller SDK software

Using a link for download of PTS controller SDK software it is necessary to get all files from it. The files
should include:
- API tools:
- Open source application programming interfaces, libraries, test utilities, applications and
documentation for development the third party software for communication with PTS
controller using various programming languages and environments
- UniPump communication protocol description for PTS controller
- Software tools
- NaftaPOS software for petrol stations
- PumpDemo util
- PTS controller configuration tool Pts_conf.exe
- PTS terminal utility
- USB dongle drivers
- Latest stable PTS controller firmware
- Software simulators
- Fuel dispensers software simulators
- ATG systems (probes) software simulators
- Documentation
- User manuals
- Technical guides

Step 2. Assembling PTS controller SDK cabling and connection to PC

For connection of PTS controller SDK cabling it is necessary to have at least 2 COM-ports available in PC
(one COM-port – for control system, other COM-port – for fuel dispenser software simulator or ATG probe
software simulator). In case of absence of native COM-ports in the PC motherboard it is possible to use any
standard interface converters to RS-232 interface: USB-to-COM, Ethernet-to-COM, PCI-to-COM, etc.

USB-to-COM interface converter cable

 PTS CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS (PTS-U3)
Revision: R02 Review date: 29 July, 2013
PTS controller SDK is generally supplied in a plastic box, where the PTS controller and RS-232/RS-485
interface converter boards are mounted in the box. Cabling in order to avoid damage of the boards during
transportation is supplied separately. So, it is necessary to make all the cablings connections correctly for
the system to start operation.

In this step-by-step instruction we will connect 1 pump simulator and 1 ATG probes simulator. Scheme of
connections should be the following:

www.technotrade.ua page 110 from 182

 PTS CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS (PTS-U3)
Revision: R02 Review date: 29 July, 2013

Step 3. Connection of cabling

Refer to the scheme of connections above for connection of cabling:
1. Cabling for communication of PC with PTS controller:
- Connect cable C014-1 from one side to one of the COM-ports of PC (where the control
software is to be launched) and from the other – to connector “RS-232 (control system)”,
which is located on the box of PTS SDK (see connections 1 and 2 on the scheme above). This
connector “RS-232 (control system)” is a connector of cable C013-1, mounted inside the PTS
SDK box.
- Make sure that the cable C013-1 is mounted inside the PTS SDK box and is connected from one
side to cable C014-1 and from the other – to PC port of PTS controller (connections 2 and 3).
2. Cabling for connection to pump software simulator:
- Connect cable C012-1 to the pump port of PTS controller (connection 4).
- Connect connector X1 of cable C012-1 to the one side of cable C018-1 (connection 5).
- Connect the other side of cable C018-1 to XP1 connector (RS-485 channel 1) of RS-232/RS-485
interface converter board (connection 6).
- Make sure that cable C020 is mounted inside the PTS SDK box to connector “RS-232 (fuel
dispenser simulator)” with one of its sides (connection 8).
- Connect the other side of cable C020 to connector XP3 (RS-232 channel 1) of RS-232/RS-485
interface converter board (connection 7).
- Using a cable C014-1 link the connector “RS-232 (fuel dispenser simulator)”, located on PTS
SDK box, with a COM-port of the PC, where pumps software simulator is to be launched
(connections 8 and 9).
3. Cabling for connection to ATG software simulator (optional, may be skipped):
- Connect cable C029-3 to ATG port of PTS controller (connection 10).
- Connect connector USER of cable C029-3 to one side of cable C033 (connection 11).
- Connect the other side of cable C033 to COM-port of the PC, where ATG software simulator is
to be launched (connection 12).
4. Cabling for power supply of PTS controller and RS-232/RS-485 interface converter:
- Connect a cable C015-1, which is mounted inside the PTS SDK box, to PTS controller board
(voltage 12 V DC) and to RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board (voltages 5 V DC, 12 V DC)
(connections 13 and 14).
- Connect external side of cable C015-1 to PC power supply or to any other power supply source
having 2 voltages: 5 V DC and 12 V DC (connection 15).

So, PTS controller is to be connected to a COM-port of the PC using cable C013-1 (cable C013-1 comes
mounted to the PTS SDK box with inscription “RS-232 (control system)”). Connection can be made through
a cable C014-1, which serves as a prolonger of the COM-port.

RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board serves for connecting of PTS controller pump channels (in RS-485
interface) with COM-port of PC (which is in RS-232 interface), on which pumps software simulator is to be
launched. RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board has 2 independent conversion circuits. Input cable is
C018-1 (RS-485 interface), output cable is C020 (RS-232 interface).

www.technotrade.ua page 111 from 182

 PTS CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS (PTS-U3)
Revision: R02 Review date: 29 July, 2013
Due to a reason that in this description we will configure only channel 1 of PTS controller to communicate
with fuel dispensers – it is necessary to connect the connector X1 of cable C012-1 coming from the pump
port of the PTS controller to a cable C018-1 of the RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board. Output cable
C020 of the same conversion circuit of the RS-232/RS-485 interface converter (one of cables C020 comes
mounted to the PTS SDK box with inscription “RS-232 (fuel dispenser simulator)”) is to be connected to the
COM-port of PC, on which pumps software simulator is launched. Connection can be made through a cable
C014-1, which serves as a prolonger of the COM-port.
In order to connect ATG systems (probes) software simulators it is necessary to connect one of the
connectors of cable C029-3 through a cable C033 to the COM-port of PC, where ATG system (probes)
software simulator is launched. Connection can be made through the cable C014-1, which serves as a
prolonger of the COM-port. In this description we will use USER-port of PTS controller to connect ATG
probes software simulator, so it is necessary to connect USER connector of cable C029-3 to cable C033
(directly or through cable C014-1). C033 cable should be connected to COM-port of the PC.
It is worth to mention that only 1 application can work with a specific COM-port at the time, 2 applications
can not share the same COM-port.

Step 4. Installation of NaftaPOS software for petrol stations

Using instructions given in point “NaftaPOS software for petrol stations. Installation.” of given technical
guide it is necessary to download and install NaftaPOS software. During installation of NaftaPOS software
Guardant USB dongle drivers are to be installed.

Step 5. Configuration of NaftaPOS software to work with PTS controller for

communication with pumps and ATG systems
After the cabling is duly connected and NaftaPOS is installed run POSSet configuration utility of NaftaPOS
software (POSSet.exe, located in root folder of NaftaPOS software).

Go to tab “Pumps” and set there quantity to pumps equal to 8:
