2.1.3 Hardware Interface Modules
Hardware Interface
Modules
Hardware Interface Modules are interface adapters. They provide a link be-
tween the CPU Board of the PSS 5000 and the many types of forecourt devic-
es, with their proprietary interfaces. There are 2 basic HIM types, which are
used to communicate with the forecourt devices:
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].

2 System Description
2.2.2 Memory Structure
Memory areas on the
CPU board
The memory on the PSS 5000 CPU board is divided in to 4 areas.
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 theRAM 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
pss_proc The pss_proc catalog contains runtime-generated files.
All PSS 5000 systems have, as a minimum, the follow-
ing files in this catalog:
• hw_inf.txt (Hardware information)
• appl_inf.txt (Application information)
• lam_inf.txt (Legal Authority Module information)
• boot_inf.txt (BOOT information)
• bel.txt (Board Error Log)

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:
2.2.3 The Software Components
List of PSS 5000
software components
The software components of the PSS 5000 comprises 3 separate binary pro-
gram blocks. Each block is loaded separately and comes complete with its own
check sum. The blocks are:
•BootProgram
• 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 Tdefines the
program type, Bdefines the program branch (or variant) andVdefines 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
(LAM)
The Legal Authority Module (LAM) provides control of parameters that are
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-
Contents of FLASH Description
APPLICATION PROGRAM The Application Program holds the main fore-
court controller or converter application. The ap-
plications are specific for the devices connected
to the PSS 5000.
LAM The Legal Authority Module (LAM) is a parame-
ter module for the Application Program. It holds
country specific parameters like decimal point
settings and parameters to control functionality
required by the local legal authorities. All PSS
5000 applications require a Legal Authority
Module.
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.
BOOT PROGRAM The BOOT Program is responsible for software
upload and access to board peripheral devices,
such as the local service panel, when no appli-
cation is present.

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.
2.2.4 Web Server
Description of the web
server
The embedded web server enables you to access the PSS 5000 Service Menus
using a PC with a standard web browser.
This provides a user-friendly graphics interface for the Service Menus, where
you are able to perform a multitude of tasks, such as obtaining software ver-
sion numbers, installation details, operational details and service diagnostics.
It is also an excellent entry point to the W&M menus.
Recommended browser
versions
The embedded web server, which allows connection via standard browsers or
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.
2.2.5 FTP Server
Description of the FTP
server
The FTP server enables you to connect to the PSS 5000, see the internal file
structure and upload software applications. It also enables you to extract data
logs from remote locations.

Illustration of an FTP
connection to file system
in PSS 5000
This illustrates how to access the file system in a PSS 5000 using a web brows-
er and an FTP connection. The FTP connection to the PSS 5000 is made by
typing FTP://admin:password@<IP address>.
Note: Other types of FTP client connections may be used. Use the same log
on information with the FTP client of your choice.
2.2.6 Serial Server
Description of the serial
server
The PSS 5000 contains a serial server that enables communication over
TCP/IP networks to pass-through the PSS 5000 and reach a device, such as a
tank gauge console, that is connected via a serial interface.
This functionality is supported by several protocols, which are listed in the
Software Release Document distributed with the PSS 5000 application.
Note: For some older versions of the PSS 5000 Applications, special Protocol-
to-Port Assignment settings are required.
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.
2.2.7 Network Connection
Description of the
network connection
For general access rights to devices on the network, please consult your net-
work administrator. He will know which TCP/IP parameters you must use and
will configure the network (DHCP server, firewalls and the like). In this re-
spect, the PSS 5000 is no different from any other network devices.
