• PSS 5000 Processor Board, Description of CPB 509 – [4]
• PSS 5000 Processor Board, Description of CPB 505 – [5]
Module Description
The HIM modules provide a scalable solution. When new devices are added
to the forecourt configuration, or old devices replaced with new ones that use
a different protocol, new HIMs can be added, or existing ones replaced, so that
they suit the new protocol.
For more information about the individual HIMs, see [1].
Illustration of HIMs Examples of a DSB HIM and a DMB HIM are shown below.
DMB477
DSB492
Note: The black serial connectors on the DMB modules are wider than those
on the DSB models. This extra width is a result of more pins, which are
required for the signals used to control the onboard multiplexer.
Description of the virtual Each of the catalogs present in the virtual file system are described in the table
file system catalogs below:

Catalog Description
The difference between the separate memory areas is indicated by what is re-
quired to clear or change the data.
Note: The RAM has a battery backup. If a power cut occurs, the battery pro-
vides power for more than 2 weeks and ensures that the data present in
the RAM is preserved.
Data in pss_mem/4 Data in memory area 4 is held in the RAM and is a "volatile working memory"
for programs. Although this area has battery back-up, all the data in this area
is cleared when a reset (software initialization) or power down takes place.
Data in pss_mem/3 Data in memory area 3 is held in RAM and is a "non-volatile working memo-
ry" for programs. This area has battery back-up, which enables data to be re-
tained during startup (initialization) and to survive a power down for weeks.
The area is cleared by a master reset. System configurations and status infor-
mation are intact after a period without power.
Data in pss_mem/2 Data in memory area 2 is held in RAM and is a "data storage memory" for the
programs. This area is cleared by a super master reset, but has battery back-up
to survive a power down for weeks. This data storage area is used for data that
must survive system re-configurations and program changes.
Data in pss_mem/1 Data in memory area 1 is held in a Flash Programmable Read Only Memory
(PROM) and is used to hold programs and system logs as described below:
BOARD UPLOAD LOG The Board Upload Log holds a log of all the soft-
ware uploads that have taken place since the
first LAM was installed.
List of PSS 5000 The software components of the PSS 5000 comprises 3 separate binary pro-
software components gram blocks. Each block is loaded separately and comes complete with its own
check sum. The blocks are:
• Boot Program
• Legal Authority Module (LAM)
• Application Program
To ease identification of the program blocks, each program is assigned an 8
digit ID, which has the following format: TTT-BB-VVV. Where T defines the
program type, B defines the program branch (or variant) and V defines the pro-
gram version.
Boot Program The Boot Program is responsible for the following functions:
• Initializing the CPU board
• Uploading software (which includes various checking functions)
• Launching the uploaded application program
The Boot Program ID has the program type ID: 499-BB-VVV
Legal Authority Module The Legal Authority Module (LAM) provides control of parameters that are
(LAM) subject to control by legal authorities. By installing the correct LAM for the
region, only parameters that are permitted by the authorities are available. The
LAM also provides Weights and Measures functions, which ensure the integ-
rity of the data and make sure that the PSS 5000 is operating correctly and
complies to the legal requirements.
The LAM ID has the program type ID: 498-BB-VVV
The program branch number (BB) normally is associated with a country or re-
gion.
Application Program The application program contains the main forecourt controller functions. The
application program loaded is specific for the devices present at the users’ sites
and connected to the PSS. The program works very closely with the LAM to
make sure that only permitted data is obtained.
The program type ID for the application program is not limited to a single
number. For example, the program type number (TTT) can be one of the fol-
lowing: 410, 411 or 420.
The program branch number (BB) depends on which functions that are includ-
ed in the program.
To view & verify the This procedure describes how to access the file system in a PSS 5000 using a
software installed on the Windows Explorer and an FTP connection.
PSS 5000
1. Using the standard Windows procedures, open the Windows Explorer.
2. In the file path field, type in the following syntax.
FTP://<administrator user>:<administrator password>@<IP address>
Note: If the PSS has not been accessed previously, then the default PSS ad-
ministrator user credentials can be found in the relevant BOOT (499-
xx-y.yy) Software Release Document (SRD).
The illustration below shows how the IP address is entered.
user credentials
3. When the syntax contains the correct user name, password and IP address,
Description of the web The embedded web server enables you to access the PSS 5000 Service Menus
server using a PC with a standard web browser.
Recommended browser The embedded web server, which allows connection via standard browsers or
versions specific applications, has been tested with both Firefox and Microsoft brows-
ers. Some of the features (for example the Peeper applet) require a Microsoft
Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher, or Firefox version 1.5 or higher.
Illustration of an FTP This illustrates how to access the file system in a PSS 5000 using a web brows-
connection to file system er and an FTP connection. The FTP connection to the PSS 5000 is made by
in PSS 5000 typing FTP://<administrator user>:<administrator password>@<IP address>.
Note: If the PSS has not been accessed previously, then the default PSS ad-
ministrator user credentials can be found in the relevant BOOT (499-xx-
y.yy) Software Release Document (SRD).
user credentials
Note: Other types of FTP client connections may be used. Use the same log
on information with the FTP client of your choice.
Port connection To communicate via the serial server a host must use the PSS 5000’s IP ad-
dress + the TCP port number, which has the following format: 6000 + PSS port
number.
For example, if the device is connected to port 15, then the TCP port number
= 6015.
The navigation buttons and the OK button, which allow you to navigate
through the service menus, are located on the CPU Board beside the front pan-
el. The function of each button is shown by an arrow or text label present on
the panel.
Functions of the CPU The CPU board has 2 LEDs associated with the Service Panel: BOOT and AP-
board LEDs PL.These LEDs are used to indicate the status of the program:
Display cycles during The illustration below shows the Local Service Panel display messages and
startup LEDs during the start up phase.
If the display toggles here, this can indicate that the file system
has been corrupted & the BOOT restarts continuously.
Local Service Panel The display in the Local Service Panel provides you with information about
display where you are in the menu structure, the software identification numbers, or
the current values of parameters selected in the software.
Idle menu
(APPL version and time)
By default the Idle menu is displayed. The system returns to the Idle menu au-
tomatically if a navigation button is not pressed within the timeout period. This
menu shows the following information:
• An 8 digit number, which is the ID of the Application software.
• The current time of the PSS’s internal clock.
• Arrows that inform you which button to press to enter the W&M or Ser-
vice menus.
The Idle menu provides an entry point to both the W&M menus and the Service
menus.
Error messages on the The display can show error codes or refer you to the error log file. If some of
service panel display the errors are unread, then the lower line on the display tells you to look at the
log file.
The PSS 5000 has its own post-process, diagnostics program, which prevents
the program from running when serious errors occur. When this happens the
program number and the text "DEAD" are displayed together with some
codes, as shown in the example below:
When this happens, write down this information and send it to Doms Support
at the following e-mail address: [email protected]
The "DEAD" text and error codes remain in the display until a button is
pressed. This causes the CPU board to reset and attempt to re-start the appli-
cation, or the CPU board is powered down.
Viewing data in the Local Data stored in the PSS 5000 memory, such as Recent Transactions or Trans-
Service Panel display action Log, can be viewed using the local service panel display. However, be-
cause of the size of the display, it is important to understand how the data ap-
pears and how it can be read. The figure below is an example of data in the
memory and illustrates how much of it actually appears in the display.
In the figure above, you can see an example of the upload log. The rectangle
with the dotted line represents what you can actually see in the local service
display panel. By using the navigation buttons, you are able to move the rect-
angle so that other data appears in the display panel.

Description The PSS 5000 contains several Weights and Measures facilities. These facili-
ties ensure the correct operational status of the PSS 5000 and the integrity of
the data it collects and stores. The facilities continually check that operational
critical functions, such as the Local Service Panel display, are functioning cor-
rectly. Should an error occur in one or more of these functions, then the W&M
facilities will ensure that large transactions or unattended terminal payments
cannot continue until the error is corrected.
The W&M Menu enables you to obtain important information about the PSS
5000 system and provides a way for you to check that the W&M facilities are
functioning correctly. You are able to simulate an error on one or more of the
operational critical functions, for example the Local Service Panel display,
and see if the PSS 5000 reacts accordingly. By being able to do this and see
the results, you can verify that no errors are present on any of the checking fa-
cilities.

Grade A fuel dispensed/supplied to the customer. A grade can be a pure product, for
example diesel, or a blend of two Products.
Manifolded When multiple tanks are connected together so that the Product in the tanks
flows freely. In practice, this creates "one" large Tank.
Note: The connected tanks must contain the same Product.
Product A fuel type as delivered to a filling station and, typically, stored in a Tank.
Protocol This is a set of rules for communication between devices. Protocols exist at
several levels and application areas. Probably the best known TCP/IP proto-
cols are HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc). But we often refer to the protocols used to
communicate with the forecourt devices, for example as the Pump Protocol or
Tank Gauge Protocol.
SRD Software Release Document, which accompanies all PSS software releases.
The SRD contains references to general system documentation and informa-
tion about program retirements and changes.
Tank A container, typically but not always underground, that holds a single product.
TGS This provides an automated method to see how much Product is present in
each Tank. It also registers how much product is filled in the tank when a de-
livery occurs.
