5000 can be tailored to almost any new or existing petrol station fore- court/POS system. The modular concept also gives scalability. When changes to a forecourt occur, then the PSS 5000 adapts readily by the addition of new modules. The PSS 5000 also offers unprecedented connectivity, including TCP/IP (via both Ethernet or serial interface) as well as FTP and web server access for re- mote monitoring, remote control and diagnostics of the forecourt devices.
