 PTS-2 FORECOURT CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS
Revision: R04 Review date: 23 March, 2021

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Appointment
PTS-2 forecourt controller for petrol stations serves for control over petroleum, LPG and CNG dispensers
and automatic tank gauge systems and probes. It knows communication protocols of a great variety of
dispensers and ATG systems and allows control over any of them in exactly the same way using its own
input communication protocols or popular pumps and ATG systems communication protocols. Thus, POS
systems, cash registers, payment terminals and mobile applications can provide control over any of the
dispensers on the forecourt and should not matter what are the brands of dispensers and ATG systems
used – using PTS-2 controller they can provide control over all of them in the same way, PTS-2 controller
undertakes all work on communication with dispensers and ATG systems using their native communication
protocols and takes into account all their peculiarities.

This completely simplifies work for a developer of control system: by having implemented communication
protocol of PTS-2 controller you gain ability to provide control over any of dispensers and ATG systems
supported by PTS-2 controller in a single way. Thus, the time required for development of POS system, cash
register, payment terminal or mobile applications is significantly reduced.
PTS-2 controller is a full functional forecourt controller and can be used standalone for provision of 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. Using a built-in web-server it is
possible to provide full control over forecourt equipment and receive reports on operation from any mobile
device.
PTS-2 controller is able to constantly communicate with remote server being a client and let the remote
server get/set any data from PTS-2 controller, it allows to provide control over PTS-2 controller from
remote server without a need to have a static IP-address. Also, PTS-2 controller can automatically upload
pump sales and tank measurements to the remote server online for reporting and analysis.

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)

it is recommended to use shielded twisted-pair cables (recommended type – FTP CAT 5E). The cable shield
must be connected to the ground connector on one side only – on the side of the dispenser.

4. Requirements to connection of ATG probes

Connection of ATG probes installed inside the tanks should be done only with provision of required safety
measures: in case if probes have explosion-proof protection – then armored cables should be used, in case
if probes have intrinsic safety – then connection should be performed through suitable safety barriers.

CONNECTION TO CONTROL SYSTEM USING RS-232 INTERFACE

Connection to the control system (POS system, cash register, OPT terminal, etc) can be done through 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 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 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.

Configuration and control over PTS-2 controller in this case is done same way as with PTS-1 controller
(http://www.technotrade.ua/fuel-pump-controller.html). This mode is left intentionally for backward
compatibility. The only difference in this mode is that PTS-2 controller supports control over up to 50
dispensers and up to 50 probes using same UniPump protocol unlike PTS-1 controller, which is limited to 16
pumps and 16 probes maximum.

CONNECTION TO DISPENSERS

PTS controller can simultaneously control up to 50 fueling places (50 single-sided dispensers or 25 double-
sided dispensers or mixture of single-sided and double-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) (see section “Examples of connection to fuel dispensers”).

So, you can distribute all the 50 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 pump 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-2 controller can simultaneously control up to 50 automatic tank gauges (probes) (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, baud rate and communication
settings: number of data bits and stop bits, parity) (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-2 controller.

SENDING OF PUMPS SALES DATA AND TANKS MEASUREMENTS TO

REMOTE SERVER

PTS-2 controller can automatically send pumps sales and tanks measurements of petroleum products
parameters to a remote server. This feature provides following possibilities:
− independent reporting on sales of dispensers and movement of petroleum products in tanks
− analysis of data with formation of tanks reconciliation reports, detection of tank leakages, etc.
− remote supervision over petrol station or petroleum depot operation
− definition of frauds and stealing at petrol station and hidden control over actions of personal
− generation of consolidated reporting from network of petrol stations and tank depots

NOTE! Communication protocol used between PTS-2 controller and remote server for automatic data
upload is described in jsonPTS communication protocol (own proprietary protocol of Technotrade LLC) –
see document “jsonPTS communication protocol specification for PTS-2 controller” for more information.

PTS-2 controller can be set in automatic mode of operation. At this PTS-2 controller automatically
authorizes pumps and stores all sales to database. Also, PTS-2 controller tracks all changes of product
measurements inside tanks with storing of all changes in database and automatic registration of in-tank
deliveries and discharges from tanks.

Having information on measured product level and temperature from ATG probes PTS-2 controller
automatically calculates:
− product volume
− water volume
− tank ullage
− product temperature-compensated volume
− product mass (in case if probe provides measurements of product density)

All database records are automatically uploaded to remote server for subsequent analysis: reconciliation,

CONVERSION BETWEEN PUMPS PROTOCOLS

In case if POS system already knows some open communication protocol of dispensers then it can use PTS
controller for its conversion to any other pump protocols without any additional integration.

Communication of PTS-2 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.

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

MONITORING OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND TANKS

In case if there is an existing POS system already installed on the station PTS-2 controller allows to monitor
operation of the fuel dispensers and tanks (and optionally to make sales when required). At this PTS
controller is connected between existing POS system and fuel dispensers and ATG console (tank probes),
PTS-2 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 ports of PTS-2 controller and get all data of fuel dispensers sales
and tanks measurements real time, at this it can also provide control over the dispensers when required.

DISPENSERS SALES DATA FOR ATG CONSOLES FOR RECONCILIATION

PTS 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 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 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 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)

CONFIGURATION DIP-SWITCH

PTS-2 controller has a 4-position configuration DIP-switch, located on top of the PCB board. Appointment of
the switches is the following:

- switch 1:
o OFF position: communication through Ethernet using HTTPS protocol (by defaults port is 443)
o ON position: communication through Ethernet using HTTP protocol (by defaults port is 80)
- switch 2:
o OFF position: digest authentication
o ON position: basic authentication
- switch 3:
o OFF position: normal startup
o ON position: format of SD flash card on startup
- switch 4:
o OFF position: normal startup
o ON position: reset of all configuration to default factory settings on startup

In case if switches 3 and 4 are set to ON position same time – then PTS-2 controller will not format SD-flash
card, but will reset all the configurations to default factory settings on startup. After that PTS-2 controller
will check SD flash disk for a file Config.js containing backup configuration and if such file exists – then PTS-2
controller will restore the configuration it automatically. Thus, PTS-2 controller memory can be cleared and
configuration can be restored by placing the Config.js file to root of SD flash card.

SD FLASH CARD

PTS-2 controller has SD flash card for leading system files. It has FAT32 file system.

SD flash disk is used for storing files with pumps sales and tanks measurements, tank calibration chards,
system log, configuration, others. List of files and their structure are described in section “Files stored on SD
flash disk”.

NOTE! Operation status LED on PTS-2 controller board will show error, blinking fast and toggling its state
each 100 ms in case if:
- SD flash disk is inserted incorrectly
- SD flash disk is not formatted to FAT32 file system or its file system is damaged
In this case it is necessary to recheck that SD flash disk is inserted correctly and has a valid FAT32 file
system. Also, it is possible to format the SD flash disk using switch3 of the configuration DIP-switch (see
section Configuration DIP-switch).

NOTE! PTS-2 controller can operate without SD card inserted. In this case PTS-2 controller ignores any
operations with SD card if any are configured in it.

Pump parameters
PTS-2 controller foresees specific configuration parameters for each type of pump communication
protocols. They are to be set for each of the pumps individually. Parameters are protocol specific.

Also, there are some parameters common for each type of dispensers regardless the communication
protocol used:
- authorization settings: these settings include if the pump should be authorized automatically or not, if
the transaction should be closed automatically or not, if the totals should be read automatically, if the
pump should be authorized only on nozzle up, if the pump should be stopped automatically at
detection of overfilling, others,
- multipliers: these settings are used to adjust the values sent/received to/from dispensers during
communication to make PTS-2 controller display same values as displayed on the dispenser display.

- ports with RS-232 interface: DISP (RS-232), LOG, USER and PC ports
- configuration DIP-switch
- SD flash disk

In order to perform self-diagnostics scheme of connections of the PTS-2 controller should be the following:

Lines “RS-485 A” in of each pump port and DISP port (RS-485) should be interconnected with each other,
also lines “RS-485 B” in of each pump port and DISP port (RS-485) should be interconnected with each
other as shown on the picture.

In PC, LOG, USER and DISP (RS-232) ports pin TxD should be shortened with pin RxD as shown on the
picture.

Results of diagnostics will be shown by color of labels. Green color means that correspondent port is
working correctly (OK), red color – correspondent port is working incorrectly (Error).

Firmware update page

PTS-2 controller firmware is constantly being improved and new versions of firmware with new added
communication protocols and fixed bugs of the previous firmware versions are proposed to be applied.
New versions of PTS-2 controller's firmware are always available for downloading for customers.

Firmware update page allows to update firmware of PTS controller. For this you should select path to
c_pts2.bin file. At this firmware is saved to SD flash disk and will be automatically when upload of file is
finished, after firmware update web-server will be automatically switch to Device information page to
display currently installed firmware version.

Firmware update process normally takes less than 1 minute.

In case if it is needed to update the PTS-2 controller firmware and there is no access to the web-server –
then it is needed to place c_pts2.bin firmware file to root of the SD flash disk and power on the PTS
controller. Firmware will be updated on start-up.

After firmware update is finished firmware file is automatically erased.

In case if the firmware file got corrupted – then this file will not be applied and will be automatically erased
on startup.

BUILT-IN PUMPS SIMULATOR

PTS-2 controller firmware between its pump protocols has a protocol “37. Pump Simulator”, which allows
to simulate presence of connected pumps. Baud rate for the pump port at this can be set to any possible.

It allows to make easy debugging of control over dispensers without real fuel dispensers connected.

Purpose of the pump simulator protocols is to help developers in debugging of the control system software
with PTS controller at absence of real dispenser or its pumphead. 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 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 controller)
- set pause during dispensing and release (continue) dispensing after pause

Tank calibration chart file NNCalib.csv is CSV file without header in a first row (where NN – number of the
tank (with leading zeroes, for example 01Calib.csv file is used for tank 1)). First value in each row is tank
level in 0.1 mm, second value is volume in volume units (liters, gallons, other depending on the units used
for account) corresponding to given level. Each value should be 9 digits width (filled with leading zeroes).

Example of tank calibration chart file:

000000000,000000000 CR LF
000000010,000000010 CR LF
000000030,000000020 CR LF
000000040,000000030 CR LF
000000050,000000040 CR LF
000000060,000000050 CR LF
000000080,000000060 CR LF
000000090,000000070 CR LF
000000100,000000080 CR LF
000000110,000000090 CR LF
000000130,000000100 CR LF

So, for example 9 mm level corresponds to 70 volume (liters, gallons, other depending on the units used for
account).

In order to prepare a tank calibration chart file with correct format you can use Microsoft Excel or any
similar software. There are 3 things you should take care about:

1. Prepare the data in file: first value in each row is tank level in 0.1 mm, second value is volume in
volume units (liters, gallons, other) corresponding to given level, for example:

2. Format cells to add leading zeros, so that totally you have 9 digits in each cell. This is possible to
make if you set format type to 000000000 for each cell:

PTS controller SDK connections scheme

PTS-2 controller SDK box includes 2 boards mounted inside of a plastic case:
- PTS-2 controller board
- RS485-4 (RS-485/RS-232) interface converter board
Also, it includes cablings for communication and jack for connection to power supply.

Control systems, which uses jsonPTS communication protocol, connects to Ethernet port of PTS-2
controller.

RS-232/RS-485 interface converter board is used in order to convert signals coming from PTS-2 controller
pump ports in RS-485 interface into signals of RS-232 interface for the fuel dispenser software simulator,
which runs on personal computer and communicates through a COM-port 1.

Connection to ATG software simulators is made through USER port of PTS-2 controller (RS-232 interface),
which is connected to personal computer through a COM-port 2.

Thus, it is possible to debug a correct operation of software, being developed, with the PTS-2 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.

More technical information regarding RS485-4 dispenser interface converter (RS-485 to RS-232) can be
found in technical guide on: http://www.technotrade.ua/rs485-to-rs232-converter.html.

Step-by-step configuration of the PTS controller SDK

Purpose
This step-by-step instruction is provided in order to simplify understanding of PTS-2 controller SDK
operation and assembling. It describes basic steps to be made with PTS-2 controller SDK to assemble it
correctly and also to install and configure software coming in its structure.

Step 1. Assembling PTS controller SDK cabling and connection to PC

For connection of PTS-2 controller SDK cabling it is necessary to have at least 1 COM-port available in PC
(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, Bluetooth-to-COM, other possible. Visit this link for possible
solution: http://www.technotrade.ua/usb-to-rs-232-interface-converter.html.

USB-to-COM interface converter cable

PTS-2 controller SDK is generally supplied in a mounting box, in which the PTS controller and RS485-4
interface converter boards are mounted. All cables inside the PTS controller SDK are already connected. In
order to start operation, it is necessary to connect interfaces to Ethernet port and COM-ports and power on
the PTS-2 controller SDK. So, it is necessary to make all the cablings connections correctly for the system to
start operation.

 PTS-2 FORECOURT CONTROLLER OVER FUEL DISPENSERS AND ATG SYSTEMS FOR PETROL STATIONS
Revision: R04 Review date: 23 March, 2021

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

1. Connection of PC with PTS controller: connect cable coming from Ethernet port of PTS controller to
Ethernet port of PC.
2. Connection of RS485-4 interface converter to PC: connect cable coming from PUMP PORT 1 of RS485-4
interface converter to COM-port 1 of PC, on which the pump software simulator is to be launched.
3. Make sure that PUMP PORT 1 of PTS controller is connected to DATA PORT (RS-485) of RS485-4
interface converter.
4. Make sure that all switches of configuration DIP-switch of PTS-2 controller are set into position OFF.
5. Make sure that power supply cable is connected to POWER connector of PTS controller and POWER
connector of RS485-4 interface converter.
6. (Optional, may be skipped) In order to use software simulator of ATG system connect USER port of PTS
controller to COM-port 2 of PC, on which the ATG system software simulator is to be launched.
7. Switch on (power on) the PTS-2 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.

- IP-address: 192.168.1.117
- Network mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.1.13
These settings can be changed in PTS controller’s web-server, however in order to initially connect to PTS-2
controller web-server it is needed to set Ethernet IPv4 settings of PC to be in same network. So, on the first
stage configure Ethernet settings in the PC to be in same network, for example:
- IP-address: 192.168.1.10
- Network mask: 255.255.255.0
- Gateway: 192.168.1.113

After that open some standard web-browser (recommended web-browsers are Google Chrome and Mozilla
Firefox) and type in the address line http://192.168.1.117 (for HTTP if configuration DIP-switch 1 is set to
ON position) or https://192.168.1.117 (for HTTPS if configuration DIP-switch 1 is set to OFF position).

At request of authorization use default settings:

Step 16. Automatic pumps authorization on nozzle up

In order to make pumps work automatically as if in manual mode with saving of all sales to database we
will additionally set checkboxes to automatically authorize pump on nozzle up and also to automatically
close transaction in parameters for each pump as shown on screenshot below.

Now, the pump automatically gets authorized by PTS-2 controller once a nozzle is taken up. At this each
transaction is saved to SD flash disk and is seen in reports. The dispenser now works as in manual mode and
preset can be entered from dispenser keyboard.

In this scheme we can additionally enable automatic upload of pumps sales to remote server to make
operation of the dispensers be completely automatic with reception of reports in remote server.

Step 17. Testing of operation with PTS-2 controller from Postman utility
Postman utility provided by Postman, Inc (https://www.postman.com/) is a great tool to test
communication with PTS-2 controller. Please refer to document “jsonPTS communication protocol

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 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 controller, others do not have RS-485 interface and thus
require additional interface converter for connection to PTS 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.

CONFIGURATION FILE PTS_CONFIG_EN.JS

PTS-2 controller has a built-In configuration file named pts_config_en.js, which can be requested by
addressing to this file (for example https://192.168.1.117/pts_config_en.js in case if usage of HTTPS is
selected on DIP-1 switch and IP-address is set to 192.168.1.117). The configuration file contains:
- list of pump communication protocols supported
- list of probe communication protocols supported
- list of baud rates supported
- list of parameters supported

Section “protocols” contains a list of all supported pumps and probes communication protocols, where
each “protocol” element contains properties:
- element “name” states communication protocol name
- element “index” states communication protocol index used for configuration
- element “type” states communication protocol type, possible variants are:
o 0 – pump protocol type
o 1 – probe protocol

Section “bauds” contains a list of all supported baud rates, where each “baud” element contains
properties:
- element “baud” states baud rate value
- element “index” states baud rate index used for configuration

Section “params” contains a list of all supported parameters. PTS-2 controller uses parameters internally as
configurable fields for storing different configuration settings, parameters are united in sets of 4-byte
sections, so the maximal value of a parameter section in hexadecimal format can be 0xFFFFFFFF. Thus, each
such section can be divided in one or several parameters, for example some of parameters can take only 1
bit, others can be longer up to the size of a whole 4 bytes section. Each “param” element describes a
separate parameter and contains the following properties:
- element “short_name” states parameter short name to be displayed in case of small display
- element “name” states parameter name
- element “description” states parameter description
- element “type” states parameter type, possible variants are:
o 0 – parameter for PTS-1 controller
o 1 – parameter for PTS-2 controller
o 2 – parameter for pump specific protocol
o 3 – parameter for probe specific protocol
o 4 – parameter common for all pump protocols
o 5 – parameter common for all probe protocols
- element “index” states parameter index used for configuration
- element “input” states parameter range of values and meaning and contains the following possible
elements:
o element “type” states parameter input type, possible values are:
▪ 0 – Boolean value taking 1 bit with possible values: 0 for unset, 1 for set

Revision: R04 Review date: 23 March, 2021
Example:

{"name":"Send price command at authorization","description":"Sets

whether additional price setting command should be sent at pump
authorization.","protocol":"15","type":"2","index":"1","input":{"
type":"0","mask":"1","shift":"16","default":"0"}}

This parameter relates to pump protocol 15 (Tatsuno SS-LAN), its index is 1, GUI of
software can display this parameter as a checkbox.
Default value is 0 (meaning unchecked state).
Shift of this parameter is 16, so that if the option is checked – then the parameter value
is shifted 16 bits from start of the parameter section making the value to be
10000000000000000 in binary format.

▪ 1 – enumeration with list of values to be stated, in case of this input type the following
elements for element “input” are possible:
• element “enum” with description of the parameter with property “value”
stating the parameter value

Example:

{"name":"Enter preset order at pump","description":"Sets whether

preset of order is done from pump preset
keyboard.","protocol":"16","type":"2","index":"1","input":{"type"
:"1","enum":[{"attr":"No","value":"0"},{"attr":"Yes","value":"1"}
,{"attr":"In automatic mode","value":"2"}],"default":"0"}}

This parameter relates to pump protocol 16 (Shelf), its index is 1, GUI of software can
display this parameter as a dropdown list with possible options:
• No (value 0)
• Yes (value 1)
• In automatic mode (value 2)
Default value is 0 (meaning first option ‘No’).

▪ 2 – integer value with range of values to be stated, in case of this input type the
following elements for element “input” are possible:
• element “min” with minimal value of the parameter value
• element “max” with minimal value of the parameter value

Example:

{"name":"Decimal digits quantity","description":"Sets quantity of

digits after decimal separator used in
pump.","protocol":"16","type":"2","index":"2","input":{"type":"2"
,"min":"1","max":"4","default":"2"}}

This parameter relates to pump protocol 16 (Shelf), its index is 2, GUI of software can
display this parameter as updown list with values in range from 1 to 4 and default
value 2.

▪ 3 – float value with range of values to be stated, in case of this input type the following
elements for element “input” are possible:

Revision: R04 Review date: 23 March, 2021

• element “min” with minimal value of the parameter value

• element “max” with minimal value of the parameter value
• element “mul” states the value on which the entered value should be
multiplied
• element “format” states the format of the float number to represent – number
of integer and decimal digits

Example:

{"name":"Maximal volume for authorization,

liters","description":"Sets value of maximal volume for pump
authorization,
liters","protocol":"16","type":"2","index":"3","input":{"type":"
3","min":"1","max":"9999","mul":"100","format":"03.02f","default
":"700.00"}}

This parameter relates to pump protocol 16 (Shelf), its index is 3, GUI of software
should display this parameter as float value in format “03.02f” meaning 3 integer digits
and 2 decimal digits, default value is 700.00. After entering the value, the system
should multiply it on 100 making the decimal digit from it. For example, if the entered
value is 123.45 – then the value to be saved should be 12345 = 0x3039.

o element “mask” states how many bits the parameter takes in memory, the values are given in
a format of maximal bits value the parameter can take. For example, if the parameter can have
a value from 1 to 5 – then its values can take 3 bits maximum, so the maximal bits value is 111
in binary and the mask should equals to 7.
o element “shift” states what is the parameter offset in bits from the 4-bits parameter section
value.
o element “default” states what is the parameter default value.

Parameters are saved in memory in hexadecimal format. In case if there are several parameters taking the
same parameter section – then all of them should be accounted when writing new parameter value to
parameter section.
