GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1-1. INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the web-based software application of the SiteOmat In House Station
Controller, which is a part of the FuelPoint PLUS system, including the usage of the various
features offered by the application, such as real-time gas station monitoring, data reporting, fleet
and vehicle management, fueling restriction setting and more.

This manual is targeted toward any authorized user of the SiteOmat Station Controller’s web-based
application (i.e. gas station managers, gas company managers, fleet owners). For technical
information regarding the SiteOmat Station Controller installation and setup, please refer to the
SiteOmat Station Controller Setup and maintenance Manual - MDE-4817.

SiteOmat software can be installed in the following Island Controllers:

• Islander PLUS - A self-contained pedestal that provides a complete island solution in a

forecourt compatible and weather-resistant cabinet. Islander PLUS is equipped with the
OrPT, a Payment Panel with an alphanumeric LCD (graphic LCD, optional) and a keyboard
to interface with the client. This enables the Islander PLUS to support all common refueling
identification devices such as: Vehicle/Driver Identification/FuelPoint PLUS Unit ,
FuelPoint PLUS, magnetic cards, contact-less RFID tags, keypad entry and others

• CFN PLUS - A sealed wall-mount, complete station automation

system in one compact, durable box for internal or external
installations. It interfaces with the forecourt devices, including
dispensers, Tank Level Gauge (TLG), payment terminals and Nozzle
Readers (for optional vehicle identification)

• Fuel Truck Controller - A sealed, metal box installed on mobile

tanker trucks, Fuel Truck Controller has been especially designed to
address the heavy or stationary equipment refueling needs at the site.
Fuel Truck Controller is connected to the nozzle equipment on the
tanker truck and controls the tanker's electric valve. The heavy or
stationary equipment is identified by the Fuel Ring (Vehicle
Identification Unit) component of FuelPoint PLUS or a driver
contactless Tag

1-2. SITEOMAT 1-2.1. Overview

Island Controllers are innovative products that enable refueling in Home Base Fueling Stations for
fleets' authorized vehicles or drivers. They electronically lock all dispensers and pumps thereby
ensuring that only appropriately authorized vehicles and personnel receive the required fuel. These
fuel control and data acquisition systems also ensures accurate recording of each transaction (see
Figure 1-1).

The heart of the Home Base Station solution is the SiteOmat automation software. SiteOmat runs
on an embedded operating system on the OrCU. This controller uses a solid state Flash disk and
RTC (Real Time Clock) with back-up, along with surge suppressors for transient and noise
immunity. It also includes power fail recovery mechanisms.

SiteOmat ensures accurate recording of each transaction. The dispenser is authorized to refuel after
a positive identification of the vehicle or the driver. All transaction information, including the
vehicle’s odometer or engine hour, is automatically recorded. A combined vehicle and driver
identification is also possible for a tight tracking.

SiteOmat features a comprehensive set of setup screens for easy and fast configuration and
modification in accordance with the client’s changing needs.

1-2.2. Interfaces

SiteOmat Station Controller provides the following operational features for a comprehensive Home
Base Station management:

• Supports over 50 different types of dispensers

• Advanced electronic support of electronic and mechanical dispensers

• Tank Level Gauging System (TLG) available for several brands

• Outdoor Payment Terminal and printer (OrPT)

• Contactless Tag Reader (OrTR)

• Vehicle Identification Terminals (Wireless Gateway)

• Support of large variety of communication links: cellular dial-in modem, VPN, satellite,

ADSL and more

1-2.5. Data Access Methods

OrCU is a web server over an SQL transaction database. It uses a secured link with several levels
of authentication. Logging into the SiteOmat is done with a standard browser from any PC and a
static IP address. Data is available in real time using pre-defined active forms.

Real-time data is available via an on-line connection, a dedicated line or Internet/Intranet (Secured)
link. The Station Controller system with SiteOmat enables real-time monitoring of a vehicle
refueling process including Volume, Price and all vehicle details.

The SiteOmat Station Controller supports exporting (transactions) and importing (Negative/Positive
lists) data using a pre-defined format.

1-3. ORCU

Orpak Controller Unit (OrCU) is a complete forecourt controller with its own embedded operating
system (see Figure 1-2). The unit consists of an embedded hardware platform with a solid state
Flash hard disk, Real Time Clock (RTC) with back up, along with surge suppressors for transient
and noise immunity. It also includes power fail recovery mechanisms.

OrCU features two separate and isolated networks (TCP/I P over Ether net) . One network l inks the
Islander PLUS syste m componen ts. The sec o nd ne t wor k is in tende d for external remote
communication (Head Office, 3rd party systems). This network is protecte d b y SSL security.

OrCU includes a Security Access Module (SAM) for enhanced data protection and safe security key
storage (Triple DES encry ptio n). OrCU includes a built-in server for Web access through Internet
Explorer 7.0 or higher.

1-4. SYSTEM WORKFLOW – EXAMPLES 1-4.1. General

This section provides examples of different operational workflow, refueling, scenarios for self­service at the Home Base Station. These examples are a function of the payment and transaction
devices available in each Station Controller system.

1-4.2. 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 (VIU) mounted in his car. The client lifts the nozzle and inserts it into
the car’s fuel inlet.

The VIU information is automatically read and sent to the Site Controller (OrCU) for
authentication and approval. Upon approval the fueling transaction starts, once refueling is
completed, the motorist replaces the nozzle back to pump. At this point the transaction data is
kept internally. Data is periodically transferred to the Fleet Head Office (FHO) for future billing.

1-4.3. Refueling Scenario with Magnetic Cards

A motorist stops for fuel at the station. His authorization device for the fueling transaction is a
magnetic card. The client swipes the card through the magnetic card reader on the payment
terminal.

The magnetic card information is read and sent to the Site Controller (OrCU) for authentication
and approval. The client lifts the nozzle and inserts it into the car’s fuel inlet. Upon approval,
the fueling transaction starts, once the refueling is completed, the motorist replaces the nozzle
back to the pump. At this point the transaction data is kept internally. Data is periodically
transferred to the Fleet Head Office (FHO) for future billing.

During the authorization process the motorist may be prompted to enter more data to the
transaction (PIN code, Odometer, Vehicle No., Etc.). This is done by manually entering the
information using the payment terminal keypad.

1-4.4. Refueling Scenario with 2 devices (2 stage authorization)

A motorist stops for refueling at the gas station. His authorization devices for the refueling
transaction include any two devices. One represents the vehicle and the other represent the
driver (e.g. two cards, two tags, card and tag, card and manual entry, etc.). The refueling
scenario for each device is the same as with magnetic cards (see above). For each device, the
motorist may be requested to add more relevant data to the transaction (PIN for the driver,
Odometer recording for the vehicle, etc.). The OrCU opens the dispenser for refueling only after
successful authorization of the two devices.

For all options above, the motorist may print a transaction ticket from the Islander PLUS printer
(optional).

Once a link is established, the SiteOmat login window is displayed. The system grants access to
authenticated users only. It sets its clearance level in accordance with the organizational level of
the user. Information regarding the login is given in the following paragraph.

3-3. LOGIN

The SiteOmat Station Controller incorporates powerful SSL mechanisms to allow only authorized
users to view and alter its contents. The SiteOmat application opens with a login dialog box, for
entering the username and password (see Figure 3-1).

The accessible contents and privileges of the user depend upon its clearance level, as set in the User
Management definitions of the SiteOmat application (refer to Section 5 – Local Management). The
application is designed to grant each user with his suitable privileges and block other capabilities.
For example, a gas station manager is not allowed to manage vehicle fleets.

Enter the username and password and click on the Login button. The SiteOmat Station Controller
checks the entered information against the users listed in the system. If the user and the password
are authenticated, the user logs into the SiteOmat Station Controller with its applicable clearance
level.

NOTE

The default username is “Admin” and password is
“Admin” (lowercase sensitive).
It is highly recommended for the administrator to
change the password once the system is running (the
user "Admin" cannot be deleted or renamed).
