Gasboy CFN Series

Gilbarco Interface Unit v2.1 Introduction 1

1 Introduction

This manual is for technicians and field engineers setting up Gilbarco pumps and CRINDs with Gasboy systems. The equipment discussed here is the Gasboy Gilbarco Interface Unit P/N C05688, with firmware version 2.1.

This Introduction chapter provides a brief description of the Gilbarco interface unit, and

offers a few preliminary thoughts.

The Installation chapter is for setup. Some material here is covered from a different

perspective than in chapter three.

The Hardware chapter describes the hardware, switch settings, and so on. This chapter is for

reference. If you need to understand how to choose switch settings, go to chapter two.

The Data monitor chapter describes in part the data monitor program, which provides

means to diagnose operation of the data ports.

Caution

Please read and understand the Gilbarco installation manuals for your pumps and CRINDs. If you install or service Gilbarco equipment, it is your responsibility to understand and follow Gilbarco’s instructions.

Gilbarco equipment is provided without warranty. We would prefer that you obtain all such information from Gilbarco if possible.

Terms

Dispenser: one enclosure and its contents servicing one or tw o fueling positions. A single-sided dispenser has displays on only one side, or sometimes a hose on one side and identical displays on both sides, but it can serve only one customer at a time, and it appears to the operator as one pump. A dual dispenser has independent displays on two sides, and can serve two customers at the same time. Such a dispenser appears to the operator as two pumps.

GSM: Gilbarco Security Module. Provides DES encryption for up to 16 CRINDs. Pump: equipment that provides fuel to one customer at a time. As used here, one dispenser may

contain more than one pump. This varies from the standard use of pump. However, it is consistent with common usage in the fueling industry.

Main price display: the price display nearest the dollar and volume total displays. This display shows only the single price used in calculating dollar total from volume total. All retail pumps have a main price display.

Price bar: the row of price displays found on some multi- fuel or multi-hose pumps, located near the hoses or the grade selection buttons. Distinguished from the main price display by association with a single fuel grade or hose. Prices on the p rice bar may remain on d isplay during a sale, or may be blanked, except for the price for one fuel or grade.

Any information which might be provided by Gasboy concerning installation or service of

Gasboy CFN Series

2 Introduction Gilbarco Interface Unit v2.1

Dual price bar: a price bar that shows two different prices, for instance cash and credit, at the

same time.

Alternating price bar: a pr ice bar that shows two different prices, for instance cash and credit,

alternately. A dual or alternating price bar may sometimes be required, but it restricts options for

pricing at the site where it is used.

When we mention dual price bar in this manual, the remarks apply equally to alternating

price bars.

Price code: a Gasboy code for a single set of prices, one price per method of payment, that may

be applied to a fuel, grade, or product.

Price level: a Gasboy code that distinguishes between the differ ent prices found in one price code

set. Values of price level are associated with tender types as follows: price level 1 is for cash,

price level 2 is for credit. Price level 3 is for debit, levels 4 and 5 for fleet or club cards, while

level 0 is the standard fallback price that appears on the main price display when the pump is

idle. Levels 0 to 5 will appear on the main price display. Additional price levels may also be used,

but will not appear on any price display.

The Gilbarco interface unit

The Gasboy Gilbarco Interface Unit allows a Gasboy Site Controller II to control up to 8 dual or

16 single-sided Gilbarco dispensers. Cash/credit selection switches m a y be installed on the

pumps, but not delivery selection switches. Each side of each dispenser may have a Generic

CRIND attached. A GSM (Gilbarco Security Module) may be connected to provide DES

encryption services for the CRINDS on an Interface Unit.

No provision is made to support the Major Oil Company (MOC) CRIND. This differs from the Generic CRIND, which we support, in the CRIND firmware and in the electrical connections to the rest of the system. If CRINDs are used, you must use the Gasboy CFN Site Controller II with software revision 2.0B or greater.

CRINDS must contain the Z-180 CPU board, Gilbarco part number T177-64-G1S, revision C or higher, with firmware K93744-02.

One or more Gilbarco Universal Distribution Boxes are required. Pumps are controlled from the interface box using a current loop connection to a distribution box, while CRINDs are controlled using an RS485/422 connection to a distribution box.

For installations w ith eight or fewer pumps, a single di stribu tion box may be asse mbled from parts that controls both pumps and CRINDs. See the discussion near the end of the chapter.

An RS485/422 port connects the interface unit to the Gasboy Site Controller II. The Site Controller senses an array of pump control units, with one or two pumps on each unit, and an array of reader terminals. Switches inside the interface unit determine the pump control unit number and reader terminal number each array begins with.

If there are no cash/credit select b uttons or dual p rice bars on any pumps on an interfa ce box, you may use any number of price l evels, subject to weights and measures cons traints. Onl y levels 0 to 5 will appear at the pump displays.

If there are cash/credit select buttons or dual price bars on any pump, you may use, at most, price levels 0, 1, and 2, and in addition, level 0 (fallback) must be identical with either level 1 (cash) or level 2 (credit).

The Gilbarco interface unit contains battery backed up memory to store transaction information in the event of a power failure. Lamps visible through a window on the front of the unit indicate battery, power, and prog ram status. Lamps in the Gilbarco distribution box indicate current loop port and RS485/422 port status. If more extensive indications of status are needed, an RS-232 port on the back of the interface unit allows connection of a terminal to run diagnostics. A switch and a fuse are located on the back of the cabinet.

Hardware

Gasboy CFN Series

Gilbarco Interface Unit v2.1 Introduction 3

Differences between interface versions 1.2 and 2.0

In version 2 .0, the MPD Pro Blender or other models with six fuels on a side are supported. CRINDs are supported, using the spare RS485/422 port. Current loop port #2 is not used.

Version 2.0 supports a maximum of sixteen fueling positions, while version 1.2 supports 32 fueling positions. In v ersion 1. 2 the spare RS485/422 port is not used, while cur rent loop nu mber 2 supports an extra sixteen fueling positions.

Differences between interface versions 2.0 and 2.1

Version 2.1 supports the same equipment as version 2.0, and in addition, supports one GSM, connected to a serial port.

Version 2.1 supports the six-digit money option in gilbarco pumps. All pumps on an interface must be configured the same.

Potential problems

Cash/credit buttons and more than two price levels

Pumps with cash/credit select buttons may be used only with price levels 0 through 2. The combination of cash/credit buttons and many price levels is not workable.

Level 0 must be the same as level 1 for all such pumps at a site, or it must be the same as level 2 for all such pumps.

Many price levels on multiple hose units

Many price levels on multiple hose units may cause a few customer relations problems at the site, depending on the prices used. A customer awaiting activation will in some cases see a number of different prices in quick succession on the main price display, as the interface downloads new prices to the pump.

MPD, Pro Blender, Salesmaker IV, and so on, without cash/credit select buttons, may be used with price levels 0 through 5.

Measured totals for blended products not available

Product totals for blended products are maintained as totals per blend, not as totals per blended primary fuel.

Reconciliation of these totals with tank inventory must be handl ed by manual methods, outside the system. A program named BLEND.BIN is part of the s oftware fo r Si te Contr oller II , versions 2.0b and later. BLEND.BIN produces a primary fuel report by allocating recorded amounts of blended fuels back to the primary fuels, based on the intended blend ratio. If you need BLEND.BIN and it is not in your Site Controller release, check with your sales representative.

Cash/credit select and Site Controller I

Cash/credit select switches on the pump may not be used with the Site Controller I.

Gallon cutoffs on multiple hose or fuel units

Gallon cutoffs and limits should be set with caution. These are allowed on single-hose pumps, but not on others. MPD cutoff limits must be made in dollars, as the Gasboy equipment cannot arrange for volume presets on Gilbarco multi-fuel pumps. The Site Controller uses dollar limits

Gasboy CFN Series

4 Introduction Gilbarco Interface Unit v2.1

internally. Since the hose is not known before fuel is pumped, price is not known, so a dollar limit cannot be calculated from a volume limit.

Large gallon limits

If the activation dollar limit, calculated as activation price times gallon s, exceeds $ 994, the pump may not activate correctly. Sites that use Highlines with various presets, card limits, limitations, and so on, in gallons, have encountered this error condition shortly after price changes. The remedy here is to use a smaller gallon limit, so that the limit times the price gives less than $999 pumped.

Site Controller II version 1.0 may also experience trouble at smaller limits, usually larger than $500. Generally this is seen as sudden inability to activate pumps after a price increase. A PRINT DIAGNOSTICS command shows error counters NB4 incrementing several times per failed transaction. The remedy is to use smaller limits, or upgrade to Site Controller version 2.0.

Product restriction on multiple hose or fuel units

Product restriction can be enforced when using newer Gilbarco multi-hose or multi-fuel units. If you cannot now use product restriction on your Gilbarco MPDs, see if you can upgrade your Gilbarco pumps.

For Gilbarco Highline pumps, product restriction can be enforced , becaus e there is only one product on a pump.

Volume display at Check Point or Profit Point

Volume to be pumped and price are not shown by Check Points or Profit Points at the time of a preset or a prepay on an MPD.

from a few very old pumps. An ongoing transaction viewed on a Check Point or Profit Point will always show zero volume.

Advantage version 70.1 firmware

Gasboy equipment is partially incompatible with Advantage vers ion 70.1 firmware. Replace any Advantage version 70.1 firmware chips with current versions. Failure to do so may cause unexpected results when operating with multiple price levels.

MPD-2

The only Gilbarco Electronic pump that does not interface to the Site Controller II is the Gilbarco MPD-2.

MPD Pro Blender

The Site Controller I does not interface to the MPD Pro Blender or any Gilbarco Cash/Credit pumps.

Modular MPD-3 version 53.7 firmware

Gasboy equipment is partially incompatible with Gilbarco Modular MPD-3 version 53.7 firmware. No upgrade is available for Modular version 53.7 firmware. The problem must be worked around.

Gasboy CFN Series

Only the ongoing dollar amount is available from Gilbarco pumps. Even this is unavailable

• Use price level 1 or 1 and 2, with level 0 set the same as either level 1 or 2.

• Do not use price levels 3, 4, or 5.

• You may use price levels 6 and above.

Gilbarco Interface Unit v2.1 Introduction 5

Failure to follow these restrictions may cause unexpected results when operating with multiple price levels.

Multiple price levels on other Gilbarco pumps

Because irregularities have been found in the interaction of Gilbarco pumps and Gasboy equipment with two different versions of Gilbarco firmware, and because other versions might be affected, a test for the problem has been added to the start-up procedure.

If your site will operate with price levels other than 1 and 2, perform the procedure indicated under Test for multiprice incompatibility, near the end of the next chapter. If your site is adding price levels and you do not know whether this incompatibility exists, you should also perform this procedure.

Incompatible pump firmware releases

The following table lists various Gilbarco pump firmware versions that have potential problems with the Gasboy Gilbarco Interface and the release that corrects the problem.

Pump Affected Versions Corrected Versions

MPD 70.8.0 thru 70.8.2 70.8.3 released 8/96

MPDSH 72.1.7 thru 72.1.9 72.2.10

ASB 75.5.0 thru 75.5.1 75.5.2 released 7/96

AFB 77.4.0 77.4.1 released 7/96

ECAL 84.2.3 thru 84.2.5 84.2.6

B78 75.5.1 75.5.2 released in 7/96

B21 75.8.2 75.8.3 released in 8/96

Loading Master Key

Master Key is factory programmed into Gilbarco GSM un its. No f ield pr ogramming is available.

Network Key Parity

Gilbarco GSM enforces DES working key parity. Not all networks provide working keys with correct parity. The GSM will refuse a working key with incorrect parity.

Contract Prices

Recent versions of Gilbarco pumps incorporate changes that improve Weights and Measures compliance. A side effect of these changes makes it no longer feasible for us to blank contract prices from the main price display following a transaction.

If you use contract prices at Gasboy price levels 3, 4, or 5, be advised these prices will remain on the main display until the pump is started for the next transaction. The Gasboy “Blank after” parameter no longer has its previous effect.

More than 16 CRINDs

Gasboy’ s interface supports only 16 CR INDs per interface. The GSM will support CRINDs only on the same interface connection. Hence, you will need two interfaces and two GSMs if you have more than 16 CRINDs.

Gasboy CFN Series

6 Introduction Gilbarco Interface Unit v2.1

Blenders and Gascard Network

Do not use blenders, including three-product fixed blenders, with the Gascard network. This network uses hose number and will not accept hose numbers greater than 4.

Don’t leave GSM powered down

The GSM uses a non-rechargeable battery which will run down if the GSM is left in a power down state for an extended period. Immediately upon receipt of your GSM, power it up, and leave it that way.

Broadcast messages

Currently, Reader Terminal broadcast messages are not displayed on the CRINDS.

Grade restrictions with pre-Advantage MPDs

Grade restrictions, used with some club cards, will not work if you have MPDs older than Advantage MPDs. These will appear to activate under grade restriction, but will return only zeroquantity transactions.

Six-digit money on some pumps, five-digit on others

All pumps on an interface must be configured for fiv e-dig it money and interf ace SW3-6 mus t be OPEN, or else they must all be configured for six-digit money amounts and SW3-6 must be CLOSED. Failure to activate correctly or to complete with the proper amount will result if the interface DIP switch does not agree with a pump’s configuration.

Gilbarco Interface Unit v2.1 Installation 7

2 Installation

This chapter gives a step by step procedure for installing the Gilbarco interface unit. Switch settings, cables, and so on will be discussed here in a context of their interactions and decisions that must be made. Specific and systematic detail may be found in chapter three.

At the end of chapter two there is a short section on troubleshooting that pertains also to sites that may already be in operation.

What to do first

1. Read and understand the Gilbarco manuals that apply to your pumps and C RINDs.

2. Verify that all CRIND and dispenser wiring is in place and complies with Gilbarco standards.

3. Terminate two-wire loops from the pumps in a distribution box with a current loop connection for the Gasboy CFN Gilbarco interface unit. (The pump loop is part number C06691, and the Gilbarco interface unit is C05688.)

4. Terminate two-wire loops from the CRINDs in a distribution box with an RS485/ 422 connection for the int erface un it. (T he ad aptor i s C066 92; the cabl e is C 06242; both are C06326.)

5. For installations with CRINDS and eight or fewer pumps, you may build a dual distribution box with one current loop input and one RS485/422 input. This is an alternative to using two separate distribution boxes, one with current loop input, one with RS485/422 input. Information on building such a distribution box is found near the end of Chapter 3, page 34, Building a dual input mode distribution box.

6. Install GSM and its power supply, within six feet of the Gilbarco Interface. Use Gasboy cable C07248 to connect the GSM to Gilbarco Interface GSM port, adjacent to the RS485 connectors. This port may be marked “Unused port”.

7. S et up and connect the Site Controller according to the its start-up manual. If you are using CRINDs, you must u se a Site C ontroller I I, and the software v ersion m ust be 2.0B or g reater.

8. Verify that the Gilbarco Interface Unit contains firmware version 2.0 or higher, in sockets U18 through U21.

9. Verify that the Gilbarco CRINDs have the Z-180 CPU board, Gilbarco part numbe r T177-64-G1S, revision C or greater, available as an upgrade for older CRINDs.

Things to watch out for

Correct the indicated CRIND two-wire address

For older CRINDs, CRIND jumper test diagnostic number 6, shows CRIND address applicable to Auto Gas systems only. For all other systems including Gilbarco and Gasboy systems, subtract one from the address shown there. See your CRIND manual for more information.
