GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This manual is provided to assist you in installing – Gasboy’s Fuel Truck Controller. The system
must be installed as described in this manual to ensure the system reliability and proper operation.
This manual includes a general and functional description of the Fuel Truck Controller and its main
components. It also provides the installation procedures for the Fuel Truck Controller.
This manual is intended for qualified authorized installers of the Fuel Truck Controller and its
components.
Fuel Truck Controller is a fuel control and data acquisition system. Fuel Truck Controller system is
a self-contained weather-resistant cabinet installed on fuel trucks used as mobile refueling station.
Fuel Truck Controller (see Figure 1-1) is a core component in Gasboy’s solution for mobile
refueling stations. Fuel Truck Controller provides the central function of the mobile site controller.
It also fulfills other essential services on site such as Vehicle/Driver Identification System,
Transaction data storage, devices control and more.
Figure 1-1. Fuel Truck Controller - General View with Shock Absorber Assembly
Fuel Truck Controller system is a mobile Fleet Management System. The system controls, monitors
and stores on-the-spot refueling data by tanker truck for customers with large land moving
equipment. The system is suitable for a large range of home base customers.
The system consists of a Controller mounted on the truck and Vehicle Identification Units (VIU)
installed on the fleet vehicles.
Fuel Truck Controller enables refueling of vehicles equipped with VIUs only. The vehicles fuel
inlet must be positioned in the proximity of the fuel pump nozzle, ensuring end-to-end
authentication of the vehicle, meaning that only authorized vehicles get fuel. After providing fuel,
the system registers the transaction data (see Figure 1-2).
The heart of the mobile solution is the Orpak Controller Unit (OrCU) operating with the SiteOmat
automation software. SiteOmat runs on an embedded operating system. OrCU is a 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 transients and noise
immunity. The system also includes power fail recovery mechanisms.
Vehicle Identification is an essential feature 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.
Remote Web-based capabilities for monitoring, management and maintenance are available. A
standard PC with Internet Browser (Explorer) is used for remote management of Fuel Truck
Controller. There is no need for special purpose management software thanks to the built-in Web
server technology integrated into Fuel Truck Controller.
Centralized management is provided by the optional Fleet Head Office server. The Fleet 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.
Control of a fleet’s fuel consumption can be maximized by defining limits. Optional limits include:
volume per day/week/month, fuel type. 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.
The Fuel Truck Controller provides features for a comprehensive mobile refueling station
management by enabling a large variety of communication links: Cellular, dial-in modem, WiFi,
radio modem and satellite.
Figure 1-2. Fuel Truck Controller on a Fuel Truck - General Configuration Diagram
An example of an operational workflow for self-service at the Fuel Truck Controller site is provided
below:
The Fuel Truck Controller equipped fuel truck arrives at the construction site to refuel its fleet
vehicles. All fleet vehicles equipped with FuelPoint PLUS devices. The operator inserts the nozzle
into a vehicle fuel inlet and waits for authorization. Truck data is automatically read and stored in
the Controller for authentication and authorization. Upon approval, the fueling transaction starts, at
the end of which the transaction data is kept internally until transferred to the Head Office (HO) for
future billing.
Following is a short description of the Fuel Truck Controller main sub units:
Orpak Controller Unit (OrCU)
Orpak Controller Unit (OrCU) is a complete controller with its
own embedded operating system. The unit consists of an
embedded hardware platform with a solid state Flash hard disk,
Real Time Clock (RTC) with backup, along with surge
suppressors for transient and noise immunity
It features two separate and isolated networks (TCP/IP over
Ethernet). One network links the Fuel Truck Controller system
components. The second network is intended for external
remote communication (Head Office, 3rd party systems). This
network is protected by SSL security.
OrCU includes a built-in server for Web access trough an internet browser (Explorer).
8-Port CommVerter
The 8-Port CommVerter is the communication interface
to the peripheral pumps. It consists of communication
modules for the mechanical pump elements. The
CommVerter includes one MPI-C card and sub card for
interface to two mechanical pumps, an Ethernet Switch.
The CommVerter communicates with the Site Controller
(OrCU) via a LAN (Ethernet) link.
The uVIT reads Orpak’s vehicle identification
components through the VIRO Receivers (Receiver
coil) installed on the hose nozzle equipment. The uVIT
supports up to eight VIRO Receivers. The connection
to the VIRO receiver must be done through an
intrinsically safety barrier. The uVIT performs the first
level of authentication by decrypting the string
transmitted from the vehicle. As an option for several
applications, the uVIT includes some capabilities for
peripheral equipment interface.
The uVIT is connected to the system via a LAN (Ethernet) link.
Optional Mobile Printer
Fuel Truck Controller Manual

Fuel Truck Controller includes an optional Mobile Printer. Installed in
the driver's cabin and directly connected to the Controller Unit viva
RS-232 link, this compact device prints out all fueling transactions.
The Mobile Printer includes two LED indicators on the front panel:
The Fuel Truck Controller is available in several configurations, in accordance with its intended use
and with the components installed. All configurations are manufactured in accordance with specific
customer request.
The following paragraphs describe the several configurations, and their devices composition.
The following options are available for vehicle identification:
Wireless Gateway Terminal (WGT) – with this terminal, the vehicle identification process
No vehicle identification unit: The vehicle identification process will be done manually by
the truck driver with any accepted authorization devices such as cards, or tags. This option
will require external tag reader connected to Fuel Truck Controller (refer to paragraph1-5.6).
The Wireless Gateway Terminal (WGT) receives DataPass, FuelOpass and VIU signals, decrypts
their information and transmits it to the Station automation system (OrCU) in a secure manner over
an RF signal. This setup enables the RF signal to travel through various routes and bypass possible
interferences (such as a big truck/bus). The transmission signal range is 10 meters.
The WGT is designed to be installed in a designated external box on the truck on the side facing the
fueling elements. The WGT will be connected to the Fuel Truck Controller box using CAT5E
cable. More than one WGT external boxes can be mounted on one truck for better RF area
coverage. In this case one WGT box will be Master and the other(s) will be routers. For further
details, see WGT External Installation Guide, document no. MDE-4815

Figure 1-5. Wireless Gateway Terminal (WGT)
The units that provide data to the WGT are:
DataPass - DataPass is a miniature unit that connects to the vehicle bus and captures data
from the vehicle CPU/BUS. It then transmits this data to the nearest Wireless Gateway
Terminal (WGT) in the forecourt.
FuelOpass - FuelOpass is a passive vehicle identification tag for refueling. Its encrypted
data includes the account to be charged and is read by the Nozzle Reader device using RFID
contactless technology.
VIU - VIU is an active Vehicle Identification Unit for refueling. The data includes odometer
and engine hour meter.
Nozzle Reader (NR) - Nozzle Reader is a self contained unit installed on the nozzle which
reads the FuelOpass data using contactless technology.
To obtain maximal grid availability, several WGT units can be installed to create a robust 'mesh'
network.
Safety Barriers are required in the truck whenever the Fuel Truck Controller includes an uVIT.
uVIT is electrically connected to the transceiver coil of the nozzle. This coil is intended for use in
potentially explosive atmosphere. Therefore the connection between these devices must be done
via an intrinsically safe barrier. Consequently, the truck must be equipped with an external Barriers
Box. The barriers in use depend on the geographical location of the installation:
Barriers and nozzle rings must be installed on dispensers as UL Listed by Report Retrofit
kits prior to the installation of the Fuel Truck Controller.
P/N 808012500 Barrier4 (Atex – For all regions except North America)
Please consult your local cellular service provider for the type of router supported in your area. The
router will be provided from your service provider with proper installation instructions. The router
will be connected to the LAN input in OrCU box.
OrTR (P/N 800910910) - OrTR (Orpak Tag Reader) receives Orpak tag signals for refuel
authorization purpose. OrTR transmits the information to the Station automation system (OrCU)
over a CAT5E or RS-485 cable. OrTR contain LCD with 2 lines display. OrTR is designed to be
installed in a non hazardous, convenient and secured area in accordance with local state regulations.
In the vehicle two installation alternatives are available:
External box in any non hazardous area. This installation mode requires a dedicated
mounting bracket. Such an installation shall be performed within safety distances required
for any installation adjacent to dispensers.
In this configuration (see Figure 1-8), the Fuel Truck Controller encompasses most types of
authorization devices. The Wireless Gateway Terminal (WGT) provides vehicle identification
process in wireless mode while Orpak Tag Reader (OrTR) reads Orpak tag signals to complete any
transaction.
WGT communicates with Fuel Truck Controller over the LAN (CAT5E cable) and is powered
directly by Fuel Truck Controller. RF transmission of data from WGT enables sending data of all
transactions to the Station controller.
Figure 1-8. Fuel Truck Controller with OrTR and WGT
The transaction activities of the Fuel Truck Controller are secured and protected for transmission
and authorization activities.
The contact-less tags include Triple DES encrypted data for user identification and billing.
Consequently, the Fuel Truck Controller includes a special Security Application Module (SAM) for
decryption and matching identification. Upon tag reading, the Fuel Truck Controller attempts to
decrypt the string from the tag. The Fuel Truck Controller disregards Tags whose security scheme
does not match the Fuel Truck Controller internal SAM.
The Ethernet LAN is isolated from the external WAN by the Site Controller (OrCU). In case of
remote maintenance, a firewall should be applied either at the router level or preferably at the Home
Base Station level.
The Fuel Truck Controller EIA 802.15.4 RF network is encrypted, using the AES 128 security
standard.
The Fuel Truck Controller maintenance and setup procedures require inserting a user name and
password for access. For further information, please refer to the SiteOmat station controller Setup Manual, P/N MDE-4817
Fuel Truck Controller is locked by key to prevent unauthorized access to the bypass switches and
controller electronics.
The Real Time Clock backup is based on a maintenance free 1 Farad supercapacitor. Backup time is
3 to 6 days before time and date loss.
Fuel Truck Controller enclosure is a weather-proof metal cabinet, able to sustain the harsh
environment of the Island. The Fuel Truck Controller is installed with a rear shock absorber
assembly that dampens vibrations from truck and road (see Figure 1-9).
The overall structure is installed vertically on any flat surface and secured with eight screws. See
anti-vibration shock absorbers in Figure 1-10.
Fuel Truck Controller is locked by key for safety and security. The key should be kept in a wellkept, secure and safe place.
