System Workflow Example
Following example depicts the operational workflow for self-service at the home base station:
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
panel.
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 in the car inlet. On approval, the fueling
transaction starts, at the end of which the transaction data is kept internally. The data is
transferred to the fuel head office for future billing.
The client may add more data to the transaction, by manually entering the information using
the payment panel keyboard. After the refueling is completed, the motorist replaces the nozzle
to pump.
The motorist may print a transaction ticket from the TopKAT PLUS printer (optional).

Main Components
Following is a short description of the TopKAT PLUS main sub-assemblies:
OrCU
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, RTC with
backup, along with surge suppressors for transient and noise immunity.
OrCU features two separate and isolated networks (TCP/IP over Ethernet ® ). One network
links the TopKAT PLUS system components. The second network is intended for external
remote communication (head office and third-party systems). This network is protected by
Secured Socket Layer (SSL) security.
