Fuelling Point Update Form
Grade Options
The grade options define the type of fuel dispensed from each nozzle at the fueling point. You can add new nozzles, remove existing ones, or update their properties.
A nozzle is characterized by the grade it dispenses and the tank from which that particular fuel grade is drawn. This is important because there may be multiple tanks containing the same fuel grade at the forecourt.
Additionally, you can set designated totals for the selected grade option.
After making any changes to the selected grade option, be sure to click the "Update" button to save your modifications.
The maximum number of grade options for a fueling point is eight. Grade option IDs may include holes, but this is not common practice.
Pump State
The fueling point status is determined by its main state and sub-state flags. You can set any state you wish for any fueling point. While EmuPSS is operating with POS clients, some sub-state flags and states may change in response to commands and state transitions.
Operation Modes
Service modes consist of a set of dispense control parameters that are generally active both before and after the filling process. In contrast, fuelling modes comprise a collection of parameters that are active during the filling process.
A fuelling mode group is a collection of fuelling modes designated for each grade, similar to how a price group represents a set of prices for each grade.
If you have multiple operation modes, selecting a different mode will change all associated parameters.
Using this dialog, you can update the currently selected fuelling mode group ID and price group ID for the active operation and service mode. Additionally, you can edit the currently active service mode, fuelling mode group, and price group for the fuelling point you are redefining.
The overall topic of operation, service, and fuelling modes is quite complex and extends beyond the scope of this emulation. However, what is important for EmuPSS is the price group, as prices from the active price group will be used to determine the price for a grade at the fuelling point during dispensing operations.
