T5 To Radiant Bulletin - Franklin Fueling Systems

OverviewThis document explains how to connect a T5 Series FuelManagement System or Colibri Tank Monitor to a RadiantSystem and allow the Radiant system to receive inventoryinformation from the T5 Series ot Colibri tank monitor. Inapplications where dispenser reconciliation is desired, it willalso allow the Radiant system to send sales information tothe T5 Series or Colibri Tank Monitor, without the need for aTS-DIMIB (Dispenser Interface Module).RequirementsT5 Series Controller Module software version1.8.0.6620 or greater, or Colibri 1.8.3.7080.CommunicationsOn the Radiant SystemThe hardware that runs the Radiant RSM software canvary. It may be supplied by Radiant or a third party. Themethod with which the system communicates to the tankmonitor is done through either an RS232 communicationport or an Ethernet port. This communication port may belocated at the Point of Sale register or the site controller.Radiant can advise on which method is used for thisinstallation.In the Radiant Lighthouse Device Configuration, underthe Tank Monitor section, the port can be configured asneeded.• A Device Name can be entered for reference.• A Device Model must be selected. For use with a T5Series, you must select “Veeder Root 350 Tank Monitor”as the Device Model. The T5 Series must have firmwareof 1.8.0.6620 or above to support the TLS-350 selection.Upgrade the T5 Series if necessary. If an upgrade isnot possible at the time of the install, “Veeder Root 250Tank Monitor” can be selected on the Radiant System,but no more than 8 tanks are supported and dispenserreconciliation will not be possible.• The Adapter setting can be selected as COM forRS232 communication and Ethernet for Ethernet portcommunication. Selecting COM will allow you to selectthe appropriate RS232 communication port next to PortNumber. Selecting Ethernet will allow you to select theappropriate Ethernet port under Port Number. SelectingEthernet next to Adapter will also allow you to enter thecorrect IP address next to IP Address.On the T5 Series or Colibri Tank MonitorIf connecting to the Ethernet Port• A standard CAT5 cable is used for a direct networkconnection from switch/router to the T5 Series Ethernetport.Some hardware configurations may support a directconnection from the Radiant system to the Ethernet port.These connections require an Ethernet crossover cable.For more information, contact Franklin Fueling TechnicalSupport at 800-984-6266• Confirm the port programming in the T5 Series Setup.TS550 / 5000 / Colibri• System-Configuration-Protocol SettingsProtocol SettingsVeeder-Root Port 8001Veeder-Root Client Timeout 0Web Server Secondary Port 10001TS550 evo• Setup-Parameters-Communications-ProtocolsCommunicationsSerial Ports ... ...Modem Type NoneProtocolsVeeder-Root PortVeeder-Root Client Timeout80010The default port to receive VR commands in the T5 Seriesor Colibri is Port 8001. Confirm that this is consistentwith the setting in the Radiant Lighthouse DeviceConfiguration /Tank Monitor section. The Veeder-Root Portsetting in the T5 Series or Colibri can be changed to matchthe Radiant system if necessary.• Checkmarks can be entered next to Set a product nameon each tank and Set date/time on the tank monitor tosupport those functions.• The tanks to be monitored can be checked under Tanksto be monitored.• ISD Enabled should be checked when dispenserreconciliation is being supported.2

TheGrades and Fueling Point information must be entered. Asuccessful Query at a Fueling Point confirms that the T5Series or Colibri is receiving sales information.For specific information on Dispenser Interface programmingand using the Query function, refer to the T5 Series FullManagement System Programming Guide FFS 000-2142 orthe Colibri Setup and Operation guide 000-2155.For assistance, call Franklin Fueling Technical Supportat 800-984-6266.3
