PTS controller over fuel dispensers and ATG (automatic tank gauge) systems for petrol stations serves as a protocols converter, it allows conversion of proprietary communication protocols of dispensers and ATG systems to a single communication protocol of PTS controller. Thus using a single communication protocol of PTS controller a control system (POS system, cash register, payment terminal) is able to provide control over any of the supported dispensers and ATG systems in exactly the same way. A work for a developer of the control system is completely simplified - he does not need to implement a great variety of the communication protocols in the control system (which are difficult to get from manufacturers and difficult to implement), he needs to implement only protocol of PTS controller and PTS controller will itself undertake conversion of UniPump protocol to propritary communication protocols of dispensers and ATG systems. Thus time required for development of the control system is sufficiently reduced.
PTS controller can be called a forecourt controller and is intended to be used in connection with a control system for petrol station (POS system, cash register, OPT terminal, etc) to provide simultaneous remote control over petrol, diesel, CNG and LPG dispensers and automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems installed at petrol, CNG and LPG stations and storage depots.
PTS controller provides control over any of the supported fuel dispensers or ATG systems using the single common communication protocol. PTS controller works as a protocol converter and provides conversion of its common communication protocol into various proprietary communication protocols of fuel dispensers and ATG systems.
PTS controller is supplied with a rich set of API (application programming interfaces) developed under the most commonly utilized programming languages and environments in order to make comfortable and quick implementation of PTS controller into control systems for petrol stations (POS system, cash register, OPT terminal, etc).
