UNITEC Interface
Overview
The interface from the Gasboy Site Controller III to the Unitec POS4000 Car Wash
Controller uses a device called the Gasboy SDI (Serial Device Interface). This wraps/
unwraps Unitec messages in Gasboy RS-485 loop messages.
The Unitec unit must be equipped with Uni-CAM Mark VII option, version 6.2
hardware (or Unitec specification). Set the Unitec unit for 2400 baud operation on the
serial port. The Unitec car wash protocol we support is called the Uni-CAM protocol.
Please refer to the Unitec documentation for the correct settings.
The SDI uses the SDI Generic Application Program, which allows direct Site
Controller interfaces with serial devices that do not follow the Gasboy RS-485 protocol.
Each kind of device is supported a driver in the Site Controller. The Unitec driver is
supported only with Site Controller III.
Cable Connections
The Gasboy SDI has two RJ handset style connectors on one side to connect to the RS485 loop. On the other side there is a DB25S connector which connects to the DB9P
connector on the Car Wash Controller. The corresponding cable uses a DB25P on one
end, and a DB9S on the other. The cable pinout is:
DB25P DB9S Signal
2 2 TxD
3 3 RxD
7 5 SG
This may be furnished by Gasboy P/N C06010.
The SDI is powered by an external power supply which connects to the SDI box by
way of a circular DIN connector. The power supply plugs into an 110VAC outlet, which
should be on the same phase and referenced to the same ground as the Gasboy Site
Controller.
SITE CONFIGURATION
The Site Controller must contain SDI and Unitec drivers, as shown in the STATUS
command:
Drivers: unitec(000) sdi(001)
The Unitec driver replaces the gate controller driver. TABLE.BIN must have one SDI
entry for each SDI, and in addition, one gate entry.

SCIII UNITEC Interface 5
INVALID Merchandise error when using a fuel restricted Fleet Card
Currently Fleet Cards with fuel restrictions may cause an Island Car W ash to be
denied.
Unitec Interface
For each Unitec interface you need an application binary and an arguments file. These
are stored in the root directory of the Site Controller. For a SC3 the location would be
C:/SC3/XBIN. The application binary for SDI #1 will have an extension of “B01”, for
SDI interface #2, “B02”. For example, WASH.B01 would be a correct application binary
name for SDI #1. There should only be one file that has the B01 extension in the
C:XBIN directory.
Parameter file extensions begin with ‘A’ instead of ‘B’, so WASH.A01 would be a
valid parameter file name. The site will attempt to keep the SDI loaded with the correct
application and parameters.
The WASH.A01 parameter file for SDI #1 should contain:
ID=Unitec
CHANNEL=RS232
BAUD=2400
PARITY=NONE
CHAR_BITS=8
STOP_BITS=1
FLOW_CONTROL=NONE
RX-TX_DELAY=0
CHAR_DELAY=0
TURN_CHARS=CR EOT
END_CHANNEL
NOTE
: If the site has an Insight or any additional SDIs, each SDI must have unique
.A0# and .B0# files in the XBIN directory. For example, if the site has an Insight.A01 file
then the Unitec parameter file should be named WASH.A02 with a corresponding
WASH.B02 binary file.
STARTUP
Connect the Gasboy RS-485 data loop into one of the phone-type jacks in the SDI box.
SDI status will show up in diagnostics. Additional diagnostics are supported:
NB0 = The number of times SDI program has crashed.
NB1 = The number of times application check failed.
NB2 = The number of times downloads have failed.
NB9 = The number of times downloads have succeeded.
The SDI box has a bank of switches visible through a slot in the side of the box,
next to the LED. Normally the UP position, raised above the switch bank body, is OPEN.
Default settings for these switches are all OPEN.
SDI Box Switches
Switches are numbered 1-8 from left to right. OPEN may be either up or down; check
the label on the switch in your unit. Default switch settings are all OPEN. Switch
assignments are as follows.

Reset
To reset the SDI box, momentarily lower (CLOSE) the RESET switch.
Clear memory
To clear application memory (only do this under instruction from qualified support
engineer):
1. CLOSE position 6, enabling memory clear.
2. Wait for the LED to begin flashing in bursts of five short flashes.
3. OPEN position 6. When the Site Controller next talks to the SDI, it will
download a new application program.
Terminating the application
To terminate an application, causing the SDI to request new application download:
1. CLOSE SWA-6.
2. When LED begins flashing groups of five quick flashes, CLOSE SWA-8.
3. OPEN SWA-6.
4. OPEN SWA-8.
5. After the Site Controller says “SDI came up”, the LED will flash somewhat
irregularly as a new application is downloaded.
6. When the application is loaded, it takes over the LED. See the application
documents for LED behavior.
A blank SDI will display no LED flashing at all. While a malfunction may also cause
this, re-loading the SDI is the first thing to try.
Booting an SDI
To boot a blank SDI from DOS PC:
1. Set up a Gasboy RS485 converter box jumpers:
You will need the converter’s power supply plugged in.
2. Connect the serial cable to from PC COMM port 1 or 2 to Gasboy RS485
converter RS232 port, and a RS485 cross cable from the RS485 converter
RS485 port to the SDI RS485 port.

The RS485 cross cable is a 1x3, 2x4 cable such as C04500, used for
connecting the Current Loop Interface to the Site Controller. The RS422
cable should be a null modem or printer cable, depending on how your PC
COMM ports are set up.
3. Power up the SDI box.
4. Set SWA-7 DOWN and SWA-8 DOWN. Set all other switches UP.
5. Set SWA-8 UP.
6. Give the command:
BOOTSDI SDI.S19 1
or
BOOTSDI SDI.S19 2
depending on whether the SDI is connected to COM1 or COM2.
7. The SDI LED should blink rapidly and somewhat irregularly, for duration
of the download.
8. BOOTSDI should print a line of dots, and then say:
sdi.s19 successful
Done.
If so, go to step 9.
9. If BOOTSDI, after several seconds, says:
no sync from SDI, enter=retry, q=quit >
You may close SWA-8 again momentarily, then open it, press ENTER, and
return to step 6.
10. When you have received the “Done” message, set SWA-8 CLOSED.
11. Immediately set SWA-7 OPEN.
12. Immediately set SWA-8 OPEN and the SDI will go to run mode. This should
be signaled by regular on-off blink of the LED, a little faster than 30
blinks/minute.
Booting SDI from Site III
You will need the SCIII hardware diagnostics program DIAG.BIN. For this file to operate
properly it must be stored in C:\SC3\DIAG.BIN. You must also have the SDI operating
system must be stored in C:\SC3\XBIN\SDI.HEX.
1. At the console, enter the command: REBOOT;A DIAG to load the hardware
diagnostics.
2. Power up the SDI box.
3. Set SWA-7 DOWN and SWA-8 DOWN. Set all other switches UP.
4. Set SWA-8 UP.
5. After these steps have been completed, give the command ‘L’ which causes
the SDI download. You can have one SCI being downloaded on each loop
for a maximum of three. On the status line for the loop(s) that have a
download proceeding you should see progress of the download indicated.
If a failure is reported, check the cabling, do steps 2-5 again, then type ‘L’
again and proceed.
6. When you receive the “Loaded Successfully” message, set SWA-8 CLOSED.
7. Immediately set SWA-7 OPEN.
8. Next, set SWA-8 OPEN and the SDI will go to run mode. This should be
