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. 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/IP over Ethernet). One network links the

Islander PLUS system components. The second network is intended for external remote

communication (Head Office, 3

party systems). This network is protected by SSL security.
