1-3.1. CFN PLUS System
CFN PLUS is an innovative product that enables refueling in Home Base gas stations for fleets
authorized vehicles or drivers. CFN PLUS electronically locks all dispensers and pumps thereby
ensuring that only appropriately authorized vehicles and plants receive the required fuel. The
system also ensures accurate recording of each transaction (see Figure 1-2).
The heart of the Home Base Station solution is the SiteOmat automation software. SiteOmat runs
on an embedded operating system on the OrCU (Orpak Controller Unit). OrCU is an embedded
hardware platform designed to survive the harsh gas station environment. It uses a solid state Flash
disk and RTC (Real Time Clock) with back-up, along with surge suppressors for transient and noise
immunity. The system also includes power fail recovery mechanisms.
1-3.2. Vehicle Identification - FuelPoint PLUS
Vehicle Identification is an important option for maximal control and savings on fuel expenditure.
The dispenser is authorized to refuel after a positive identification of the vehicle and only while the
nozzle is inside the fuel inlet of the identified vehicle. All transaction information is automatically
recorded. A combined vehicle and driver identification is also possible for tight tracking.
1-3.3. Remote Web Access
Remote Web-based capabilities for monitoring, management and maintenance are available. A
standard PC with Internet Browser (Explorer) is used for management of the site either locally or
remotely (secured). There is no need for special management software; thanks to the built-in Web
server technology integrated into the station controller and a large variety of communication links is
supported – both wired and wireless.
1-3.4. Head Office
Centralized management is provided by the optional Fleet and Fuel Head Office server. The Fleet
and fuel Head Office consolidates the data from multiple sites and generates reports, including
exception reports. It also enables control of the limits and restrictions placed on the various fleet
vehicles. Furthermore, authorized fleet personnel are able to log-in remotely and are always in
control. Head office enables authorized users to control and manage wet stock inventory on all
stations including orders, deliveries and reports.
1-3.5. Restrictions and Limits
Control of a fleet’s fuel expenses can be maximized by defining limits (day, week, month),
maximum number of refueling (day, week, month) and setting restrictions (days of the week, fuel
type, stations, time intervals). In case of system configuration for multiple sites, the centralized
Fleet Head Office needs to synchronize the data between all sites so that the limits can be applied to
a whole system rather than to an individual site. In case of communication failure, the specific site
will be able to refuel for a predefined grace period (parameter) using the most recent limits stored in
its database.

1-3.7. System Workflow - Example
Follows an example of an operational workflow for self-service at the Home Base Station:
1-3.7.1. Refueling Scenario with FuelPoint PLUS
A motorist stops for fuel at the station. His authorization device for the fueling transaction is a
vehicle identification unit (FuelPoint PLUS) mounted in his car. The client lifts the nozzle and
inserts it in the car fuel inlet.
The FuelPoint PLUS information is automatically read and sent to the Site Controller (CFN
PLUS) for authentication and approval. Upon approval, the fueling transaction starts, once the
refueling is completed, the motorist replaces the nozzle back to the pump. At the end of the
process the transaction data is kept internally and transferred to the Fuel Head Office (FHO) for
future billing.
