 PTS-1 CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS (PTS-1, rev. PTS-U5-v7)
Revision: R08 Review date: 12 June, 2024

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Appointment
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 great variety of fuel dispensers and ATG
probes and allows control over any of them in exactly the same way using its own input communication
protocol or popular pumps and ATG systems communication protocols. 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.
PTS-1 controller can be called a forecourt controller and can be used together with POS systems, cash
registers, OPTs (outdoor payment terminals) and other control systems for petrol stations in order to
provide control over fuel dispensers, LPG (liquified petroleum gas) dispensers, CNG (compressed natural
gas) dispensers and various brands of ATG systems at petrol stations and storage depots.
PTS-1 controller is supplied with a rich set of APIs (application programming interfaces) developed under
most popular programming languages and environments in order to provide comfortable and quick
implementation of the PTS-1 controller into control systems for petrol stations (POS system, cash register,
OPT terminal, etc).

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 (3 wires: TxD, RxD, Gnd).

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, Ethernet-to-COM, Bluetooth-to-COM, other converters).

Communication with PTS-1 controller is made using commands and responses described in UniPump
communication protocol (own proprietary protocol of Technotrade LLC) – see document “UniPump
communication protocol specification for PTS-1 controller over fuel dispensers and ATG systems” for more
information. Thus, PTS-1 controller provides conversion of the common communication protocol UniPump
into various proprietary communication protocols of fuel dispensers and ATG systems.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PETROL STATION

WARNING! Manufacturer guarantees reliable and stable operation of products only at compliance with
below requirements. In case of absence of uninterruptible power supply or incorrect wiring of products
to it any claims to malfunction of software are not accepted.

1. Requirements to power supply

The described products come into structure of control system (POS) for petrol station. Power supply of the
products should be done from a separate power supply with built-in filter of radio frequency interferences
and limiter of high voltage pulse interferences. Power supply should have a safety factor of 1.5.

At emergency switching off the power supply or in case of power voltage exceeding its permitted ranges
the products can switch off with loss or corruption of data and possible damage of hardware and software.
Power supply of all electronic blocks of POS and electronic pumpheads of dispensers, which are connected
through information lines, should be made from single common uninterruptible power supply source (UPS).
Connection of other devices to given UPS is strictly prohibited. UPS should be of continuous action (online)
and work with double conversion with output voltage regulation. UPS should have a safety factor of 1.5.
Filter of radio frequency interferences and limiter of high voltage pulse interferences should be used for
feeding equipment from UPS.

Supply of electronic pumpheads of dispensers should be made from the UPS unit using 3-wires scheme
with isolated neutral through dedicated two-pole breaker for each dispenser. Connection of other parts of
dispenser to UPS unit (expect electronic pumpheads) is strictly prohibited.

UPS unit should be connected to a separate three-pole socket fed through the three-wire feeder (phase,
neutral, ground wires) with insulated neutral from a dedicated circuit breaker of switchboard. Feeder
coming from the switchboard to the socket should located not closer than 0.3 meters to other feeders. The
socket should be located at a distance of not more than 1 meter away from the POS. Phase wire of the
feeder should not have any other consumer, which are sources of interferences (for example motors).

For protection of POS and UPS from secondary effects of atmospheric electricity it is required to install
high-voltage arresters (dischargers) at the transformer substation or on poles of power lines.

2. Requirements to grounding

In the switchboard the ground wire of feeder socket should be connected to the grounding screw, which
should be connected by means of welding with a protection grounding circuit of petrol station by steel wire
with a diameter of not less than 5 mm.

Protection grounding circuit of petrol station should correspond to safety requirements and be separated
from the station lightning protection circuit. Distance from the nearest electrode of protection grounding
circuit to electrode of lightning protection circuit must be at least 10 meters. Resistance of the protection
grounding circuit should be not more than 4 Ohms and must be confirmed by the test report. Length of
wires from the switchboard to the nearest electrode of protection grounding circuit should not exceed 15
meters.

3. Requirements to laying of cable communications

Laying of power and information wires to dispensers should be done in separate pipes with distance of not
less than 0.3 meters between each other. For informational wires (current loops, RS-485, other interfaces)

CONNECTION TO FUEL DISPENSERS

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

So, you can connect in total 16 pumps to the same pump port or you can distribute all the 16 pumps
between the any of the pump ports.

NOTE: if there are less than 4 various types of fuel dispensers at petrol station (which use various
communication protocols) then it is recommended to distribute fuel dispensers between 4 PTS-1 controller
ports in approximately equal quantities in order to minimize delays between fuel dispensers querying in the
same pump port.

CONNECTION TO ATG SYSTEMS AND PROBES

PTS-1 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 probe
ports 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 port provides a possibility to connect ATG system (probes) over either RS-485 or RS-232
interfaces – interface is selected using a configuration parameter in PTS-1 controller.

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 without any additional integration.

Communication of PTS-1 controller with control system (POS system, cash register, OPT terminal, etc) for
provision of control over dispensers can be done using popular open pump protocols. At this connection is
made through one of the pump ports, which has RS-485 interface (2 wires: A, B). Any of the pump ports can
be configured to work as input port for communication with control system.

Scheme of connections:

In this case the control system should know pump communication protocol. PTS-1 controller in this case
serves as a protocols converter: converts input pump protocol into any other supported pump protocols.

At this control over pumps can be done in parallel from control systems connected through pump port and
PC port, PTS-1 controller internally tracks which control system locks control over dispensers:

CONVERSION BETWEEN ATG CONSOLES PROTOCOLS

In case if POS system already knows some open communication protocols of ATG consoles then it can use
PTS-1 controller for its conversion to any other ATG console or probe protocols without any additional
integration.

Communication of PTS-1 controller with control system (POS system, cash register, OPT terminal, etc) for
getting measurement data from probes can be done using popular open ATG console protocols. At this
connection is made through one of the probe ports, which has RS-232 interface (3 wires: TxD, RxD, Gnd) or
RS-485 interface (2 wires: A, B). Any of the probe ports can be configured to work as input port for
communication with control system.

Scheme of connections:

In this case the control system should know communication protocol of ATG console. PTS-1 controller in
this case serves as a protocol’s converter: converts input ATG console protocol into any other supported
ATG consoles and probe protocols.

MONITORING OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND TANKS

In case if there is an existing POS system already installed on the station PTS-1 controller allows to monitor
operation of the fuel dispensers and tanks (and optionally to make sales when required). At this PTS-1
controller is connected between existing POS system and fuel dispensers and ATG console (tank probes),
PTS-1 controller communicates with fuel dispensers and ATG console (probes) using their proprietary
communication protocols and with POS system – using open communication protocols for pumps and ATG
console. Monitoring system can connect to PC port of PTS-1 controller and get all data of fuel dispensers
sales and tanks real time, at this it can also provide control over the dispensers when required.

FUEL DISPENSERS SALES DATA FOR ATG CONSOLES FOR RECONCILIATION

PTS-1 controller can be applied for listening of communication exchange between POS system and
dispensers and sending of dispensers’ transactions to the ATG console for provision of tanks’ reconciliation
and automatic calibration. Installation of the PTS-1 controller between POS system and dispensers solves
this problem without any additional integration from the side of POS system.

Additionally, it is possible to apply PTS-1 controller inside the casing of the ATG console. At this a scheme of
connection specified on the above image is saved, but at some extra development of the console GUI it is
possible to make a completely new function of the console – provision of monitoring and control over
dispensers from the console in parallel with POS system. As a result, the console becomes a common
system of control, monitoring and account providing:

- connection of console to any POS system, OPT terminal for provision of control over dispensers
- possibility to connect various brands of probes, which communication protocols are not supported by
the console
- transmission from PTS-1 controller to console data on sales transaction of dispensers for formation of
reconciliation reports and automatic tanks calibration
- additional possibility to monitor and control fuel dispenser operation from the console display in
parallel to POS system already installed at petrol station (needs update of console software)

PTS-1 CONTROLLER MULTI POS SYSTEMS OPERATION

PTS-1 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-1 controllers.
Thus every interconnected PTS-1 controller is able to provide control over any of the connected fuel
dispensers and know ATG system measurement data of every other interconnected PTS-1 controller.

NOTE! In order to enable PTS-1 controller interconnection interface of DISP port should be configured to
RS-485 in configuration parameters of PTS-1 controller and DISP port should not be configured for any ATG
system (see section “PTS-1 controller configuration”).

Configuration:
At necessity to organize several working places at petrol station (several POS systems) each of the POS
systems should have its own PTS-1 controller connected. PTS-1 controllers should be interconnected with
each other through a dispatcher PTS port (DISP port on RS-485 interface) and also connected with fuel
dispensers. Thus control over each fuel dispenser at petrol station can be made from every POS system and
each PTS-1 controller will know measurement data of every ATG probe connected to any of the
interconnected PTS-1 controllers. At authorization of a fuel dispenser from one POS system the fuel
dispenser becomes locked by PTS-1 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-1 controller of this POS
system unlocks the fuel dispenser and it becomes commonly available for all other PTS-1 controllers, which
makes it possible to be controlled (locked) by any of the PTS-1 controllers connected to other POS systems.

NOTE! In order to provide control over same fuel dispensers from several PTS-1 controllers locking and
unlocking of dispensers is required. For this reason in configuration of PTS-1 controller in parameters for
PTS-1 controller “Lock” and “Unlock” commands should be set to be used (see section “Configuration of
parameters for PTS-1 controller”).

NOTE! In order to provide correct exchange of ATG systems measurement data between interconnected
PTS-1 controllers logical addresses of connected ATG probes in configuration of interconnected PTS-1
controllers should not intersect (have various values in different PTS-1 controllers).

Section “Settings” includes the following settings:

- “Use extended commands” sets if communication with PTS-1 controller should be done using general
commands of extended (extended commands are to be used instead of general commands when there
is necessity to get/set values to PTS-1 controller, which size is bigger than provided by general
UniPump protocol format)
- “Use Lock/Unlock commands” – if this option is selected then PTS-1 controller will try to lock the pump
before giving command to it and unlock it after the command is performed, it this option is not set
then PTS-1 controller will not send LockRequest and UnlockRequest commands. This option should be
equal to PTS parameter “Use command LockRequest and UnlockRequest”.
- “Automatically authorize pump in full tank mode at nozzle up” – if this option is set then PTS-1
controller will automatically authorize the pump with volume on 999999 liters automatically at once
when the nozzle is up. This is made to set dispensing in completely automatic mode without any
actions to be performed on computer to start dispensing.
- “Automatically request total counters in end of dispensing” – this option is set then PTS-1 controller
will automatically request total counters from the pump at the end of dispensing (after a transaction is
closed).
- “Quantity of decimal digits”: these options set number of decimal places used in pump in fields of
volume, money amount, price, volume and money amount total counters. The quantity of decimal
digits in these fields should correspond to their quantity in the pump in order to make numbers
displays in pump same as in this PTS configuration utility.

Revision: R08 Review date: 12 June, 2024

In case if there is no data transferred – the “Log verification” section displays a message “Log is not taken,
please recheck log parameters in PTS-1 controller and connections!”. If you see this message – you need to
recheck all the configuration and connections to get a log.

Each of the boxes in “Log verification” section display a direction of messages sent in PTS-1 controller
communication.

NOTE! At taking a log make sure that the red boxes on the right side blink indicating exchange between the
PTS and Slave device. If they do not blink – it means that the log of exchange on selected port is not
written, at this you should recheck your logging port parameter in PTS-1 controller parameter or check
communication between the PTS-1 controller and connected device on the specified port.

Log is accumulated to a file, size of file should be growing during the logging process, if it does not grow –
then the log is not taken, you will probably see a message “Log is not taken, please recheck log parameters
in PTS-1 controller and connections!” in “Log verification” section as described above.

Log-file has a name with indication of the time of log taken, for example: log_2014_07_04_12_14_58.bin,
which means that the log was taken on 4th of July, 2014 at 12:14:58.

Revision: R08 Review date: 12 June, 2024

In case if log process is switched on – a new log-file with a new name is created each 30 minutes (old log-
file is saved). This allows to avoid log-file overfilling when its size comes to critical to the operating system.
Thus, you can switch on logging and wait until any problem happens. When it happens and you
approximately know time of this problem – you can take appropriate (by name) log-file and send to
Technotrade LLC for analysis.

Log in accumulated in the encrypted form. After a log of exchange is taken it is required to pass a
received bin file to Technotrade LLC company for examining and elimination of possible problems, for
reasons of which it was taken.

Revision: R08 Review date: 12 June, 2024

On tab “Firmware update” it is necessary select the COM-port number of the computer, check that
connection is not opened (COM-port is closed) and select the firmware file before starting the firmware
update process.

Firmware update process will start upon clicking on button “Start update”. In case if the firmware is not
being updated – power off the PTS-1 controller, click to start firmware update and power on the PTS-1
controller. At this the firmware update process should start.

NOTE! In order to prevent PTS-1 controller firmware from accidental update it is strictly recommended to
keep 4th DIP-switch SA1 in OFF position and disable PTS-1 controller parameter “ALLOW FIRMWARE
UPDATE” in any moment of time except for firmware update needs.

NOTE! Pay attention that your PTS-1 controller is using latest version of the firmware. Latest version of
firmware can be received upon request from Technotrade LLC company or downloaded from Technotrade
LLC company website. Normally new firmware for PTS-1 controller is issued together with PTS configuration
utility update having latest features of PTS-1 controller, so updated version of the PTS-1 controller
configuration utility Pts_config.exe should be also requested and downloaded. Information on the present
firmware version of PTS-1 controller can be checked on tab “General” (mentioned above).

Due to a reason that some firmware versions may erase all configuration of the PTS-1 controller it
recommended to save all configuration of PTS-1 controller to file before making an update (see on tab
“General” section “Save current configuration to file”) and in case if after the update the PTS-1 controller

configuration turns out to be erased – restore all the configuration from the previously saved file (see on
tab “General” section “Restore configuration from file”).
NOTE! In case if an error happened during the firmware update process and PTS-1 controller became
unresponsive please make the following procedure:
1. Power off the PTS-1 controller and wait until all the LEDs on the PTS-1 controller board stop blinking or
shining.
2. In PTS-1 controller board set DIP-4 switch to ON position.
3. Connect PTS-1 controller to computer with PTS configuration utility.
4. In PTS configuration utility select the firmware update file, COM-port number and click on “Start
update” button.
5. Power on the PTS-1 controller – at this firmware update process should start automatically.
6. After the firmware update process is completed set DIP-4 switch back to OFF position.

BUILT-IN PUMPS SIMULATOR

PTS-1 controller firmware between its pump protocols has a protocol “37. PUMP SIMULATOR”, which
allows to simulate presence of connected pumps. Baud rate at this can be set to any possible.

It allows to make easy debugging of control over dispensers through PTS-1 controller without real fuel
dispensers connected.

Purpose of the pump simulator protocols is to help developers in debugging of the control system software
over PTS-1 controller at absence of real dispenser pumphead for connection or software simulators of fuel
dispenser.

When protocol “37. PUMP SIMULATOR” is selected – then it is possible to debug dispensing of the pumps
without any pumphead or simulator connected to PTS-1 controller. Using parameters for this pump
protocol it is possible to set the number of taken up nozzle for every pump and also set whether the
dispensing should be done immediately or in full process.

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-1 controller)
− set pause during dispensing and release (continue) dispensing after pause

PTS-1 controller SDK (Software Development Kit) is intended for developers of POS management software
for petrol stations that needs to provide control fuel dispensers and ATG systems.

PTS-1 controller SDK includes a PTS-1 controller and USB/RS-232 and USB/RS485 interface converters,
which allow to run software simulators of fuel dispensers and ATG systems on personal computer and
debug operation of control systems software with PTS-1 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-1 controller SDK allows developers to:

1. Study operation with the PTS-1 controller.
2. Implement the PTS-1 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 software application to correctly provide control over fuel dispensers locally using
software simulators on the workplace without a necessity to go to the petrol station and connect to
real fuel dispensers.

Given window contains a dropdown list with all 4 pump ports of the PTS-1 controller, selecting each of
which leads to displaying of all fuel points’ IDs and corresponding fuel points’ addresses configured to given
pump port for a PTS-1 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 port 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-1 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, which
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-1 controller processes
TotalInfoRequest command).

Total counters can be updated at any moment from any of the pumps. Selecting of a button “Totals” on a
fuel point icon and clicking a button Update in it leads to reading of total counters:

− Authorization by money amount – dispensers are to be authorized with money amount
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:
− Use general commands – PTS-1 controller can work with general commands (for prices containing
up to 4 digits) and also with extended commands (for more quantity of digits in price values); this

If ATG system does not support any the parameters – a correspondent value label on ATG icon stays
disabled. Picture of a tank on the ATG icon shows visually level of product in tank compared to tank height
(which should be equal to ATG probe height). If ATG icon is linked with an ATG system – its state is
“ACTIVE”, else – “NOT ACTIVE”.

Settings of ATG probe icons

Given window contains a dropdown list with all 3

probe ports of the PTS-1 controller, selecting each
of which leads to displaying of all ATG probes’ IDs
and corresponding ATG probes’ addresses
configured to given probe port for a PTS-1 controller
in a field below. Selecting one of the ATG probe IDs
and pressing OK button leads to linking given ATG
probe icon to selected ATG probe ID and displaying
its state. Selecting of a PTS probe port with value 0
will lead to switching off a ATG probe icon.

Given window for each of the ATG probes also

contains a field for entering height of a tank with
installed probe (which is considered to be a
maximum level of product allowed for given tank).

Step-by-step configuration of the PTS-1 controller SDK

Purpose
This step-by-step instruction is provided in order to simplify understanding of PTS-1 controller SDK
operation and assembling. It describes basic steps to be made with PTS-1 controller SDK to assemble it
correctly and also to install and configure software coming in its structure.

Step 1. Downloading of PTS-1 controller SDK software

Using a link for download of PTS-1 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-1
controller using various programming languages and environments
- UniPump communication protocol description for PTS-1 controller
- Software tools
- PTS-1 controller configuration tool Pts_config.exe
- latest stable PTS-1 controller firmware
- Software simulators
- SimUniPump - pumps software simulator
- SimUniProbe - probes software simulator
- Documentation
- User manuals
- Technical guides

Step 2. Assembling PTS-1 controller SDK cabling and connection to computer

For connection of PTS-1 controller SDK cabling it is necessary to have at least 2 USB-ports available in
computer (one USB-port – for control system, other USB-port – for fuel dispenser software simulator or
ATG probe software simulator). In case of absence of free USB-port it is possible to extend their number
using a USB hub.

PTS-1 controller SDK is generally supplied in a mounting box, in which the PTS-2 controller in located and
cables are connected with USB/RS-485 and USB/RS-232 interface converters. In order to start operation, it
is necessary to plug the USB output of the cables to USB ports of computer, after that power on the PTS-1
controller SDK.

Revision: R08 Review date: 12 June, 2024

Scheme of connections should be the following:

1. Connection of computer with PTS-1 controller: connect cable coming from PC port of PTS-1 controller to
USB-port of computer through USB/RS-232 interface converter (it will be seen as COM-port in the
computer).
2. Connection of pumps software simulator: connect cable coming from PUMP PORT 1 of PTS-1 controller
to USB port of computer through USB/RS-485 interface converter (it will be seen as COM-port in the
computer).
3. Connection of pumps software simulator: connect cable coming from USER PORT of PTS-1 controller to
USB port of computer through USB/RS-232 interface converter (it will be seen as COM-port in the
computer).
4. Switch on (power on) the PTS-1 controller SDK (requires 12 V DC power supply source).

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.

Note: the RS-232/USB and RS-485/USB interface converters are based on FTDI chips, it is possible to
download their drivers from the following page: https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/.

Step 9. Configuration of ATG probes software simulator

Run SimUniProbe.exe and go to configuration of its properties. Set properties as shown on screenshot:

After properties are set click OK and on the main form select a COM-port, to which USER port of PTS-1
controller is connected, and click “Open” button.

After COM-port is opened in case if there is communication between the PTS-1 controller and ATG probes
simulator – you should see blinking of red squares located in left top corner of ATG probes icons in ATG
probes simulator, and communication will be logged in log window of the simulator.
At this in PTS-1 controller on USER port green and red LEDs will begin to blink once per second. Blinking of
the green LED means that PTS-1 controller is sending requests to the ATG, blinking of the red LED means
that the PTS-1 controller receives responses from the ATG.
In case if only green LED is blinking on USER port – there is a mistake in wiring connection or configuration
of the equipment (PTS-1 controller or ATG).

 PTS-1 CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS (PTS-1, rev. PTS-U5-v7)
Revision: R08 Review date: 12 June, 2024

Now you are able to provide full control over the pumps and read receive data from the ATG probes:

Pumps software simulator

Try to make different operations with pumps: set/get prices, take up/down nozzles, get total counters,
authorize a dispenser, others. Plays with decimal digits number to make them equal to used at your petrol
stations (Note! Number of decimal digits should be also changed in pumps software simulator).

ATG probes software simulator

Try to change the measured values of fuel in tanks and see how soon they are updated in Pts_config.exe
utility.

Revision: R08 Review date: 12 June, 2024

Step 11. Configuration of PTS-1 controller .NET application for control over pumps
and ATG probes
The open-source application written in C# and VB.NET is a good place to start development of new control
software for petrol stations. In this section we will see how it is easy to configure and run it.
Compile “PTS application” project or simply run PtsApplication.exe (application is located in PTS SDK
software kit and is located in API TOOLS folder for C# and VB.NET languages):

Go to main menu item “Configuration” → “Settings” and set configuration as shown below:

www.technotrade.ua page 109 from 193

 PTS-1 CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS (PTS-1, rev. PTS-U5-v7)
Revision: R08 Review date: 12 June, 2024

In main form of the application for each of the fuel point icons go to setting (“Settings” button) and set a
correspondent fuel point number (from fuel point port 1) and prices for each of the nozzles:
− Fuel point icon #1 → FuelPoint ID = 1, Address = 1
− Fuel point icon #2 → FuelPoint ID = 2, Address = 2
− Fuel point icon #3 → FuelPoint ID = 3, Address = 3
− Fuel point icon #4 → FuelPoint ID = 4, Address = 4

Also here set prices for each of the nozzles:

Now the main form of the application allows to provide control over pumps in pump software simulator
(see configuration of the pumps simulator in step 7 above):

EXAMPLES OF FUEL DISPENSERS CONNECTION SCHEMES

Below sections show examples of connection to various brands of fuel dispensers. This information is
provided as an example. For reception of detailed information on connection to various brands of fuel
dispensers, configuration of the fuel dispensers and configuration of PTS-1 controller please refer to our
support mailbox [email protected].

As it is seen from below connection examples some brands of fuel dispensers have RS-485 interface on
board and thus are directly connected to PTS-1 controller, others do not have RS-485 interface and thus
require additional interface converter for connection to PTS-1 controller. In some cases, various models of
same brand of fuel dispensers have RS-485 interface, others – no. In such a way the best way to check how
your fuel dispenser is connected is to take its mainboard photos and send to us on our support mailbox
[email protected]. Mainboard is normally located inside the fuel dispenser pumphead behind
the displays.
