Built through extensive real-world deployment and continuous optimization, the STATION™ forecourt controller delivers a new level of reliability, connectivity, and operational stability for modern fueling environments. From premium branded service stations to remote unmanned sites, it is engineered to provide seamless communication, long-term stability, and a smarter forecourt management experience under demanding industrial conditions.
Industrial-Grade Stability
The STATION™ forecourt controller is built on an industrial Linux 5.10 architecture powered by dual Cortex-A35 processors and an independent Cortex-M4 core.
This advanced heterogeneous computing platform delivers exceptional long-term stability, smooth multi-task processing, and greater scalability for modern connected fueling stations.
Full Forecourt Connectivity
Equipped with 17 serial ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, USB connectivity, and support for 16-channel external communication expansion, the forecourt controller is designed to manage complex forecourt infrastructures from a single platform.
It can simultaneously connect fuel dispensers, tank gauges, environmental sensors, IC card systems, and third-party management platforms without requiring multiple standalone controllers.
Wide Protocol Compatibility
The STATION™ forecourt controller supports RS232, RS485, RS422, current loop communication, TCP/IP, and IFSF protocols, allowing seamless integration across different dispenser brands, ATG systems, and industrial devices.
By unifying multiple communication standards into one centralized platform, it significantly simplifies system integration, reduces deployment complexity, and improves overall operational efficiency.
Long-Distance Communication
With communication distances reaching up to 1200 meters, the forecourt controller is built for large-scale fuel station infrastructures and extended industrial deployments.
It enables stable long-range device communication across large forecourts, fuel depots, port fueling facilities, industrial parks, and fleet fueling operations.
Built for Harsh Environments
To ensure reliable operation, the STATION™ forecourt controller adopts industrial-grade protection technologies including TVS transient surge protection, optocoupler isolation, and advanced anti-interference design.
These protections help prevent communication failures, data loss, system crashes, and interface damage, delivering stable performance even in harsh outdoor industrial environments.
Easy Firmware Upgrades
The STATION™ forecourt controller supports convenient USB-based firmware upgrades, making system maintenance faster and more efficient without complex hardware replacement.
This allows fueling stations to deploy new features, protocol updates, and system optimizations more easily while reducing downtime and long-term maintenance costs.
