2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this report is to describe the Gilbarco two-wire communication protocol which was designed to
transmit commands and data between electronic pumps and consoles. This report describes the protocol level,
message level, timing, and the effects of two-wire commands on the pump. This document will serve as a
design and test tool for future pump and console design.
The two-wire protocol is a Gilbarco proprietary protocol which uses an 11 bit data format. The protocol was
designed to support up to 16 active fueling positions. A single word command format and multiple word data
block are used in this protocol to obtain maximum communication throughput. Throughout the specification, the
console or controller means any device that can be connected to control the pumps.
This report provides a framework for a better understanding of the Two-Wire Protocol and the relationship
between all Gilbarco consoles and pumps regardless of country of origin. It attempts to describe the basic,
generic functional elements of pump control by a console or controller. It covers all aspects of basic pump control
including:
 Bringing a pump on-line
 Configuring a pump
 Use of Special Functions
 Polling pumps
 Fuel Sale management
 Pump diagnostics
 Weights and Measures
 Safety
2.1.1 Compatibility
An important aspect of all of our products is compatibility. Backward compatibility between pump and consoles
for existing functions is vitally important and a continuing Gilbarco customer service objective. The Two-Wire
Protocol exists for that reason as much as any other. However, true compatibility requires that a pump and a
console be compatible at not just the message level but also at the functional level.
2.1.2 Improved Communication

An important element in communication is standard, well understood terminology. This document provides
accurate definitions of the terminology and functions of pump control for use by Gilbarco personnel worldwide.
2.1.3 Reduce Risk

This document reduces the risk of modifying the Two-Wire Protocol by improving our ability to evaluate proposed
changes in terms of their impact on existing products.

2.1.4 Education
This document provides a source of accurate and complete information concerning pump control for employees
new to the company or new to the pump control aspect of our products.
2.2 SCOPE
This document is a source for:
 An explanation of the relationship between a console/controller and pumps in the retail fuel marketplace;
 The interdependencies between a console/controller and a pump;
 A list of the assumptions of each product concerning the other;
 The chronological order of the Two-Wire message set in basic pump control functions;
 The status of the functional compliance with the Two-Wire of all Gilbarco pumps.
This section is:
 Not a functional specification for a specific pump or console;
 Not a definition of all current or future features of pumps and consoles;
 Not a source for hardware information.
2.3 ORGANIZATION
The 3 LINE LEVEL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL, 4 MESSAGE LEVEL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL,
and 5 PUMP STATUS TRANSITION(S) sections provide three views of the pump/console relationship: line level
communications, message level communications, and basic pump control functions. The Basic Pump Control
section is written from the perspective of the console/controller with the topics appearing chronologically as they
would be encountered by a console/controller from installation through operation and, if appropriate, pump
programming and diagnostic control.
2.4 APPLICABLE REFERENCE DOCUMENTS

1. Two-Wire Driver Hardware Specification - TWO-HW-S1.0-S
2.5 GLOSSARY
The Glossary, normally the last section of a document, appears near the beginning in this one because it
is vitally important that the reader know the meaning of key words and phrases used in this document.
Some familiar terms may be used in a new way or new terms used in place of old standbys. A careful
reading of this glossary along with reference to it during the reading of the other sections should help the
reader gain a more complete understanding of the concepts contained in this document.
Authorization Is the site controller/console approving the dispensing of fuel by a pump. A pump
may not dispense fuel prior to receiving authorization, however other elements
may be necessary after authorization is received before dispensing of fuel can

begin.
Blender Is any pump capable of blending two pure products to create a blended grade of
fuel. This includes single hose blender pumps, as well as “fixed” blender pumps,
which look to the user like a standard MPD. Electronic blenders may be blend
ratio programmable or set. If they are programmable, their blend ratios cannot be
changed over the Two-Wire. Set blenders do not allow their blend ratios to be
changed.
Mechanical Can dispense 1 grade of blended fuel but the blend ratio is mechanically set and
Blender cannot be changed. Over the Two-Wire this pump cannot be distinguished from
an MPD!
Fixed Blender Looks to the user just like an MPD (e.g. a nozzle per grade) but uses the blending
formats over the Two-Wire. Optionally it may have an additional hose which
dispenses a non-blending grade.
6 Hose Blender Same as Fixed Blender above.
Command Is sent by the controller to the pump. A command contains data or instruction(s)
for the receiving device.
Communications Is a lack of link level communications as defined by the Two-Wire link-level

Failure specification.
Console May be a master (controller) or a secondary (to a controller) based on the

individual product‟s design.
CRIND Is a Card Reader In a Dispenser. In the context of this document it is considered

to be a separate physical device equivalent to a controller for pump control
purposes.
Customer The person manipulating the PUMP to cause it to deliver fuel.
Device ID Or device address. The physical address of a device is part of the link level
protocol.
Dispenser Or device address. The physical address of a device is part of the link level
protocol.
Dispenser Is a unit which is used with a remote submerged turbine pump or STP.
Download Is the term used to describe the communication from a controller to a pump of the
parameters which control the operation of that pump. The latter may also be
referred to as Parameter Download.
Fuel Delivery The logical condition of a pump with respect to its ability to dispense fuel.
Condition
Fuel Sale A set of information/data related to a particular instance of dispensing of fuel. A

fuel sale becomes one line item in a transaction, but is used interchangeably with
transaction here and in the Two-Wire Specification.
Fueling Position Is the term used to describe a single logically addressable device which dispenses
fuel and with which the Controller communicates concerning Fuel Sales. A fueling

position may control multiple hoses and dispense multiple grades of fuel.
Grade Is the blended or pure product which is dispensed by a pump.
Hose Is the physical hose which dispenses a grade (or grades of fuel). There is not
necessarily a one to one ratio equivalence for grade to hose due to blending
where one hose may dispense multiple grades and MPDs where the same grade
may be dispensed from multiple hoses.
LSD Least Significant Digit: The rightmost digit in a number.
Link Level The physical communications protocol.

Protocol
Message Level Is the definition of the format, structure and meaning of the messages carried by
the link level protocol.
Messages Sent between the pumps and the controller via the link level protocol.
MSD Most Significant Digit: The leftmost, non-zero digit in a number. It is the digit with
the greatest value in the number.
Operator The person directing the CONTROLLER/CONSOLE in its management of a FUEL

SALE.
PAM Is a Pump Access Module which allows a third party device to control Gilbarco
pumps, providing limited pump control and protocol conversion.
Polling Is the process of soliciting status from the pumps.
Price level Selects one of the prices in the pump at which a grade of fuel may be dispensed
(e.g. Cash price/Credit price). Price levels may be set by the controller or at the
pump.
Product flow Is defined to have begun when the pump no longer returns a zero volume amount
for Transaction Data. For example, if a pump does not display any volume until X
pulses have occurred, no product has flowed until X is reached.
Program Used as a noun refers to the actual binary object file of a device. When it is used
as a verb it means to set the operating parameters for a pump or a controller.
Pump A pump is the generic term used when it is not necessary to differentiate between
a dispenser and a self-contained unit. While a
Pump Handle (Or lever) when present, is a mechanism the consumer must lift or turn to cause
the pump to recognize that someone wants to use the pump.
Pump Totals Are the totals of the volume and money amount dispensed by grade. These totals
can be requested over the Two-Wire. These totals are never reset by the pump
other than through Cold Start and at rollover (although some pumps may allow
programming at the keypad or from the controller).
Pure Product Is the fuel which is kept in the storage tanks at a site. Pure product may be
dispensed as a non-blended grade or form a new grade in a blend with another
pure product.

Pure Product Are the non-resettable volume totals kept by a blender for the pure products used
Totals to make the blended grades. These totals are never reset to zero except at Cold
Start and rollover (although some pumps may allow programming at the keypad).
Real Time Money Is the process of a controller monitoring a fuel sale so the operator may watch the
money total for the sale increase as the fuel is dispensed.
Response Is a message sent by a pump to a controller. Responses are the result of a

command received previously and can not require a response in turn.
Self Contained Is a unit which has the actual pump contained inside the unit housing, and does
not depend on an STP.
STP Submerged Turbine Pump. The pumps are
Settlement Is the process of actually paying for the sale and removing it as an active sale at
the console.
Standalone Is the mode of operation in which a pump authorizes the dispensing of fuel without
the controller. The pump will not communicate to the controller while it is operating
in Standalone, but will continue to accumulate Pump Totals and Pure Product
Totals.
System Is the entity resulting from the interconnection of a controller/console with pumps.
Terminated Fuel Is a fuel sale which has been discontinued such that no more fuel may be
Sale delivered, however all conditions are not met for the fuel sale to be complete.

3. LINE LEVEL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

This section describes the line level of the two-wire communications protocol between the pumps and the
console.
The line level protocol is basically a multi-drop protocol which supports up to 16 terminals (pumps). When the
master (i.e., Console) sends the data or the terminal (pumps) responds, every unit in the loop will receive the
same data. Only the addressed terminal (pump) should respond and the rest of the terminals should ignore the
data. The master (i.e., Console) will be the only unit in the loop which is allowed to initiate communication.
This document does not define the physical implementation of the link. The standard form of physical layer is a
45 mA current loop, as defined in the referenced documents “Two-Wire Hardware Specification - TWO-HW-
S1.0-S” and “Electronic Dispenser Controller Interface Specification for Current Loop or RS422 - TWOTP-HW -
V50.0-P”. Other physical layers may be used, such as RS485 or Ethernet. These will not be inter-operable with
standard devices except with some form of hardware adapter. The descriptions and timings which follow
assume standard asynchronous communications using a UART or equivalent, and are applicable to the standard
current loop.
3.1 TWO WIRE CURRENT LOOP INTERFACE

The standard current loop operates at a nominal 45 mA +/- 5%, for a mark (loop idle or logic 1) and less than 2
mA for a space (logic 0). The current regulator must be designed to within +/- 5% of the nominal marking current
over the operating temperature range of 0 to 50 ºC. The current loop open-loop supply voltage must be between
12 Volts D.C. and 42 Volts D.C. Some dispensers may clamp the voltage to prevent it exceeding the upper limit;
most do not, and may be damaged if the upper limit is exceeded.
3.2 NOTATION CONVENTIONS

This defines some notation and terms that are used in this section.
a. Command Code
A command code is an 8 bit word which is sent by the console to command the pump to perform
defined actions. (See 3.7DATA AND DATA CONTROL WORD (DCW)).
b. Data Control Word (DCW)

DCW is an 8 bit word, as part of a data block, which is used to indicate what the next words are.
The most significant nibble of a data control word is always F.
c. LRC Check Character

LRC is a 4 bit word, as part of a data block, which is used to detect longitudinal bit errors (See
3.6LRC CHECK CHARACTER).
d. Data Length (DL)

DL is an 8 bit word, as part of a data block, which is used to indicate how many words are being
transmitted. (Section 3.4 LINE PROTOCOL, TIMING REQUIREMENTS AND ERROR
RECOVERY).
e. No Response Timer
No response timer is a time interval which is set up by the console to wait for pump responses
before retransmitting the request or taking any actions.
f. Retry Counter
Retry counter indicates the number of tries a requesting device will attempt to obtain the
appropriate response before it takes an appropriate action.

g. Pump ID
Pump ID is a four bit address which is set at the pump at installation time to indicate the address of
the pump.
h. Data Word
Data Word is an 8 bit word, as part of a data block, which conveys the actual message. The most
significant nibble of a Data Word is always ‟E‟.
i. Pumps, dispenser, fueling positions are used in this specification interchangeably. It indicates a
unique addressable communication position. For example, a dual MPD will have two fueling
positions, but could have up to 8 hoses.
j. The following notation will be used throughout the report.

<> Encloses symbols reference
{} Enclosed optional data
‟‟ Encloses a four bit nibble
DL Data Length
STX Start of Text
ETX End of Text
LRC LRC - 4 check character (least significant nibble)
DCW Data Control Word
3.3 WORD FORMAT

Each word on the two-wire system consists of 11 bits. They are:
 Start bit (space)
 8 data bits (least significant bit transmitted first)
 Even parity
 Stop bit
The bit rate is 5787 ± 0.5% bits/second, including variations due to frequency and clock phase shift tolerance.
3.3.1 Exception
Mandates for 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 bits/second are used for special configurations worldwide.

3.4 LINE PROTOCOL, TIMING REQUIREMENTS AND ERROR RECOVERY

This section describes the five types of data and their timing requirements and error recovery. They are:
 polling (status)
 a single word command
 send data to pump
 send data to console
 special function command
Note that all the timing requirements in this section indicate the time interval between the last bit of the previous
word and the first bit of the next word.
3.4.1 POLLING (Status)

The pump will respond with one of the status words (see 3.9PUMP STATUS WORDS) upon receipt of a
STATUS REQUEST Command Code with a matched pump ID, from the console. It will ignore the STATUS
REQUEST Command Code if it does not have a matched pump ID. The protocol exchanges are as follows:
Console Pump
<STATUS REQUEST> ---------->
t1
<---------- <PUMP STATUS>
t2
<NEXT TRANSMISSION TO ANY PUMP> ------->
t1 = 0ms - 68ms
t2 = at least 5ms
Exception: Some very old pumps might exceed (be slower than) the t1 68ms limit.
Error Recovery Rules:

1. No-response timer should be at least 68ms.
2. Retry counter should be set by the console, depending on the application program. It is
recommended that it should be at least 5.
3. It is advised that the console check whether or not the response comes from the polled pump.
4. The console should check the pump status frequently. The appropriate actions should be taken if
the pump state is not compatible with the console state.
3.4.2 A SINGLE WORD COMMAND

A single word command can be sent from the console to direct the pumps to perform certain tasks. There is no
response to a single word command from the pump. Therefore, it is advised that the console request the status
from the affected pump and ensure the proper command has been received and processed. All single word
commands except All Stop (FC) are for one pump at a time. The protocol exchanges are as follows:
Console Pump
<COMMAND CODE> ---------->
t0
t1

t2
<NEXT TRANSMISSION TO ANY PUMP> ---------->
t0 = at least 68ma
t1 = 0ms - 68ms
t2 = at least 5ms

2. Retry counter for status should be set by the console depending on the application program. It is
recommended that it should be at least 5.
3. It is advised that the console check whether or not the response comes from the polled pump.
4. The console should check if the command is received and processed correctly. A re-transmission of the
command should be attempted by the console if it detects that the pump failed to process the command
correctly. The exact retry counter should depend on the application program and at least 5 retries are
recommended.
5. If the pump is not in one of the valid pump states for the command, it shall ignore the command.
6. If the pump receives a single word command with transmission error, it shall ignore the command.
3.4.3 DATA TO PUMP

The two-wire protocol utilizes a command word to place the pump in a DATA state so that the console can send
the data to the pump. The protocol exchanges are as follows:
Console Pump
<DATA NEXT COMMAND> ---------->
t1
<---------- <SEND DATA>
t2
<DATA BLOCK> ---------->
t3
t1
t2
<NEXT TRANSMISSION TO ANY PUMP> ---------->
<DATA BLOCK> := <STX>
t6
<DCL>
<message>
<LRC next>
<LRC>
<ETX>
t1 = 0ms - 68ms
t2 = at least 5ms
t3 = at least 68ms
t6 = The time interval between words in the data block should be at least 68ms.

2. If any transmission error occurs in DATA BLOCK, the pump will send ERROR status in response to
the next STATUS REQUEST or DATA NEXT command. The term “transmission error” includes parity
error, block length error, framing error, overrun error and checksum error. The console must re-transmit
the whole sequence starting from <DATA NEXT> Command, unless a correct status is received. The
exact retry counter should depend on the application program and at least 5 retries are recommended.
3. The pump should enter the DATA STATE when it receives DATA NEXT Command and exit from
the DATA STATE as soon as it receives any word, which is not a data or a data control word. The most
significant nibble of a data word is always an E and that of a data control word is F (See 3.7DATA AND
DATA CONTROL WORD (DCW)).
4. The console must not transmit a DATA BLOCK to a pump, which has a preset transaction pending.
“Preset transaction pending” means that:
 a pump has received either a money or a volume preset message.
 the pump did not enter the ERROR state in response to the preset message,
 the pump has not yet “completed” the preset transaction by:
o receiving a pump stop or universal stop command (without an authorization
command), OR
o receiving an authorization command followed by a handle on to handle off
transition, with or without fuel being dispensed).
3.4.4 DATA TO CONSOLE

These commands are used by the console to obtain data; such as transaction data or pump totals, from the
pumps. The line level protocol exchange is as follows.
Console Pump
<SEND DATA COMMAND> ---------->
t1
<---------- <DATA BLOCK>
t2
<NEXT TRANSACTION TO ANY PUMP> ---------->
<DATA BLOCK> := <STX>

t4
<message>
<LRC next>
<LRC>
<ETX>
t1 = 0 - 68ms
t2 = at least 5ms
t4 = all data blocks transmitted to the console must meet this condition:
The interval between words must be between 2ms and 68ms.
Data blocks with 8 or more words must also meet this condition:
For any group of 8 consecutive words, the average word transmission rate shall not be
faster than 6.5ms, as computed below:
Sum of 8 word transmission times + sum of 7 inter-word delays

8
must be greater than or equal to 6.5ms.
Exceptions:
Sandpiper-based and E101-based pumps may transmit message words contiguously.
Some very old pumps might exceed (be slower than) the t1 68ms limit.

2. Retry counter should be set by the console depending on the application program. It is recommended that
it should be at least 5.
3.5 DATA LENGTH (DL)

The data length is included only in the data block from the console to the pump. The lower nibble of DL is the
modulo 16 of the Two‟s complement of number of words in the data block excluding Start of Text and DL.
3.6 LRC CHECK CHARACTER

The LRC check character is included in every data block transmitted between the console and the pumps except
the Special Function Data Request response sequences from the pumps (refer to 4.8.3 PRICE CHANGE DATA).
It is a 2‟s complement of the summation of the least significant nibbles of all words in a data block.
3.7 DATA AND DATA CONTROL WORD (DCW)

The message in a data block consists of Data and Data Control Words. Each group of data must be preceded
by a Data Control Word (DCW) to indicate the type of data. The most significant nibble of Data is always E and

4. MESSAGE LEVEL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL

This section describes the message level of the two-wire protocol. It will also describe the appropriate pump
response and console responses in order to facilitate the design and testing of future pumps and consoles.
Please refer to Section 2 for line level, error recovery and timing requirement. We will also include the
permissible pump status after the pump accepts a command.
4.1 STATUS POLLS: COMMAND ’0’

The command may be sent by the console to request the current pump status from the pump. Only the pump
with a matched ID should respond.
Command/Response Syntax

State After Command Acceptance A Pump may change its two-wire status as a result of a status poll
only as follows:
1. Clear ERROR condition
2. Transition from FEOT or PEOT to OFF or CALL
Note:
1. Pumps will respond FEOT/PEOT repeatedly to status polls, until another pump ID is polled or the pump
receives some command other than status poll.

Table 4: PUMP STATE/STATUS DEFINITIONS
0 DATA ERROR The pump will enter the DATA ERROR state under the
following conditions:
1. The pump is in DATA STATE when it receives an
invalid data block including any word that the most
significant nibble is not an E or F and any
transmission error such as parity error, checksum,
overrun or framing error
2. The pump receives a correctly formatted message
containing incorrect fields.
6 OFF Pump handle is off and it is not authorized.
7 CALL The pump handle is ON, but not authorized. The

CASH/CREDIT option, preset option or others at the pump
may already be activated.
8 AUTH The pump is authorized but not ready to deliver fuel. This
may mean that one of delivery conditions is not met such as
CASH/CREDIT option, key lock option, Push-to-Start, pump
handle, price-change delay, LPG pressurization period, or
other options. Refer to individual pump software report for
those options.
9 BUSY The pump is authorized and all delivery conditions

(CASH/CREDIT option, key lock option, Push-to-Start
option, pump handle or other options) are met. The pump is
in a state which is ready to deliver fuel, delivering fuel, has
reached a preset goal, or is performing lamp test. Refer to
individual pump software report for those options.
A PEOT The pump has completed a delivery with the pump handle at
‟OFF‟ position.
B FEOT The pump has completed a delivery with the pump handle at
‟OFF‟ position.
C STOP The pump is in a PUMP STOP state.
The pump will enter DATA ERROR STATE if it is in DATA

STATE and detect a break condition as defined in the
RS232 standard. Most pumps will process an ALL-STOP
command if they detect a loop-break condition for (typically)
at least 500ms.

4.2 AUTHORIZE OR RE-AUTHORIZE: COMMAND ’1’
The command is used to enable a pump to deliver or to resume the delivery of the fuel product. In some
European pumps, the Authorization command is used when the pump is in state IDLE/OFF to clear the
transaction displays to zero. Only the pump with a matched pump ID should accept this command.
Valid Pump State: OFF or CALL for authorization, STOP for re-authorization

F ---- Pump 15
0 ---- Pump 16
Response None

Command

4.3 PUMP STOP: COMMAND ’3’
This command is used to de-authorize an authorized pump. It may also be used to cancel a Preset so that a
different limit can be sent (see Appendix A: Application Note #005). Some European dispensers can be
configured by the Manager Keypad so that a Pump Stop command received in the OFF state will turn off the Red
Drive-off Light. This is used to show that the sale has been paid. Only the pump with a matched pump ID should
accept this command.

4.4 BROADCAST COMMANDS TO ALL PUMPS
4.4.1 ALL STOP: COMMAND ’F’ ’C’
This command is used by the console to stop every pump in the loop.
Valid Pump State: OFF, BUSY, CALL or STOP
Command ‟F‟ ‟C‟
Response None

4.5 REQUEST FOR TRANSACTION DATA: COMMAND ’4’
The command is used by the console to request the transaction data. Dispensers should return data for the
current transaction in the STOP state (and Call after Authorization), the just-finished transaction in the FEOT and
PEOT states, and previous transaction in OFF and CALL states before Authorization. The transaction data is
finalized before the pump transmits EOT status (or returns to OFF in the case of a zero transaction).
Controllers should be aware that not all dispensers will do this. In particular, some will continue to send the
previous transaction data even after Authorization in the CALL and STOP states.

NOTE: The only valid commands that may follow a preset message are status poll, ALL STOP,
pump stop, and Authorize after the pump accepts the preset message.

4.8.2 STANDARD PRESET DATA
This command sequence allows the console to send the preset amount to the pump. An authorization command
code is required to authorize the pump even if the pump accepts the preset data. Note that the pump needs to
take all necessary caution to ensure that the preset amount will not be lost or reset before it receives an
authorization command. All authorizations for a preset amount/volume should be immediately preceded by a
preset data message. Also, once the preset amount is accepted by the pump, it must not allow the customer to
set or change price level or grade selection (volume preset only) at the pump. The pumps must support both the
money preset and volume preset.
This section only describes the format and contents of the data block. Refer to 3.4.3 DATA TO PUMP for line

4.9 SPECIAL FUNCTION COMMAND
Special Functions are an extension to the basic Two-Wire Protocol which allow controllers to communicate with
pumps which provide features not anticipated by the initial Two-Wire design. Discussion in this section will be
limited to general information concerning the use of Special Functions. Use of specific Special Functions will be
discussed under the appropriate section of this document. For example, Special Functions for blending control
will be discussed under Blend Ratio Management.
Pumps that do not support Special Functions, or that support only a subset, are not easily identified by an ASC
(Authorized Service Contractor) as part of the system installation process. It is more desirable for the controller to
automatically determine which pumps on a loop support the Special Functions.
The following procedures are recommended for each Console, CRIND or PAM which will utilize the New Special
Functions.
A. To determine if a pump supports the Special Functions. First send a S.F. 001 (version #) command. If the
pump does not respond with a version #, it does not support the S.F.s. If it does respond with a version
#, send a S.F. 00E (Misc. Pump Data) command to it. If it responds with a configuration data block, the
pump supports at least the minimum subset of the Special Functions. If it does not respond or responds
with a Null block, it does not support the Special Functions.
B. Use of specific pump software version numbers returned by pumps to determine S.F. support should not
occur. This will leave us free to assign any version numbers we choose to new pump models or software
releases of existing models.
C. If the pump did not respond to S.F. 001 and you want to determine whether it is a blender, send it S.F 401
(Request for Blend Ratios). All blenders will respond to this S.F., and non-blenders will not.

NOTE 2: If the pump does not return Send Data, the controller must not send the Data Block
regardless of the status of the pump prior to the initiation of the exchange.
4.9.2 RESPONSE STRUCTURE
This section defines some general rules, which are used throughout the Special Function Responses.
A. All data blocks must conform to the Data Block format, which will be described in the 4.9.2.1 Data
Block Format.
B. In general, Most Significant Digit (MSD) will be transmitted first unless otherwise specified.
C. All words are transmitted in a modified ASCII format. The most significant bit of the word is set to 1.
The following table describes the words.
Transmitted Code ASCII Code Interpretation

BA 3A Colon, Data Length Next
B0 – B9 30 – 39 Digit 0 – 9
C1 – C6 41 – 46 Letter A – F
8D 0D Carriage Return
8A 0A Line Feed
D. The numbers are transmitted in BCD format unless otherwise specified.

E. Block length equals the number of words in the message (not including overhead, refer to 4.9.2.1
Data Block Format) divided by 2.
F. Check sum is 2‟s complement of summation of all translated words in the Data Block excluding
Block - Length Next control word and Carriage Return and Line Feed. (Refer to 4.9.2.1 Data Block
Format for Data Block Format). The translated words are the hexadecimal representation of two
consecutive words in the data block starting with MSD of Data Length (see examples).

The modulo 100h sum of the translated bytes is 59h

The twos complement of 59h is A7h
G. Data Block is a block of words (data) including the Block Length, pump number, echoed commands,
block number, message, Carriage Return, and Line Feed.

H. In general, the counters are cumulative and can be reset only at the Master RAM Reset, unless
otherwise specified.
I. Pump shall respond with null data block, instead of the requested data, under a number of conditions
as follows:
 Pump receives a valid Special Function but it is not supported by the pump‟s version of
software. (i.e.; blender Special Function sent to non-blender pump)
 Pump receives a valid special function but some data in the data block is invalid (out of
range; i.e.; memory address or incorrect configuration data
J. Supported Special functions with valid data, which cannot be executed for any reason unrelated to
the command content will cause the pump to respond with an Error status to the next poll.
K. Under certain conditions the pump is allowed to ignore Special Function Commands (e.g.; blend
ratios sent to a pump whose ratios are not programmable). The conditions are indicated in the sections
dealing with the relevant Commands/Responses. Ignore means a Null Block will not be returned in
response to the Command and an Error Status will not be returned in response to the poll following the
Special Function Command which has been ignored.

4.9.2.1 Data Block Format
This section describes the format of the Response Data Block. The response to a Special Function Command

4.9.3 This section describes the response messages in the Data Block.
4.9.3.1 The Definition of a Null Block
Word Interpretation Comments

No Data <m> in the data block
When a pump responds with a Null Block to a S.F. Command, it means one of two things:
 The Command is not supported by this pump
 Some or all of the data in the data block is invalid
When a controller receives a Null Block from a pump, there is no point in resending the S.F. Command.

4.9.4.4.1 Extended Status Information
Post-Modular pumps provide Extended Status information for use by the controller (S.F. 010). This
Information allows the controller to determine more information about the customer‟s operation of the
dispenser for display of additional, perhaps more accurate, information to the console operator or pump
user.
True means operation not needed. False means operation needed. All operations are pump related. For
example, if the controller has selected the price level then it will have no effect on the Extended Pump
Status. Only selecting price level at the pump can do that. Any option not present at the pump (e.g.,
Push-To-Start) will default to Not Needed. An Auto-On SHMPD with Cash/Credit could set Price Level
Selection Needed, Grade Selection Needed and Push-To-Start needed all to True when in the CALL
state. Subsequently pressing one of the price level buttons would set all 3 flags to False.
The information available in the Extended Status includes:
Price Level Selection Needed
Selection of Price Level may be independent of the safety Second Step. This merely indicates whether a
price level needs to be selected, not which one.
Grade Selection Needed
Grade selection may occur independent of the safety Second Step. Once it has occurred, the grade
information will be available also.
Pump Handle/Nozzle Operation
Under certain conditions the controller may not be able to determine the handle/nozzle position from the
response to the Status Poll (e.g. ERROR status). This information may be important for user/operator
prompting.
Push-To-Start Needed
This indicates whether the Push-To-Start button has been pressed. This too is independent of the safety
Second Step. For example, if the Push-To-Start status is true and the Pump Handle is IN, it may indicate
the user is confused about the proper sequence for pump activation.
Selected Grade
In addition the Extended Pump Status tells the console which grade has been selected. This is in the
form of a grade number which is the same grade number used in other Two-Wire messages. The Grade
Selected will always be non-zero once a grade is selected by the customer, even if that grade is not
available. For example, if a pump is preset for grades 1 or 3 (only) and the customer selects grade 2 the
Selected Grade will be 2 but the Grade Selection Needed flag will still be True since a grade that can be
authorized has not yet been selected, the value of this field is zero or “unknown.”

NOTES:
1. This response violates the maximum 32 bytes of data in <m> limit specified in Data Block Format of the
Gilbarco Dispenser Two-Wire Protocol for Third Party Pump Controllers.
2. This function is only valid for pure products of standard single blend manifold blenders unit types. The
field for blend manifold 2 is optional and may be omitted in responses. Some dispensers may respond
with blend manifold 2 values populated with zeroes.
3. For Unit Type Code 46, 47, 48 and 49 (2+2 and 3+2 blenders with two sets of blend manifolds), pure
product totals for blend manifold 1 are for the corresponding pure products for the standard blender
portion of the dispenser. The pure products for blend manifold 1 are the only pure products in a
response for a SF405 request. Special Function 605 (detailed in Gilbarco Dispenser Two-Wire Protocol
for Third Party Pump Controllers – Extended Two-Wire Appendix) is required for all products totals for
these dispenser types.

4.9.4.8 Error Codes
Errors are reported in the data response as a sequence of 9 bits concatenated from 3 nibbles of the
response data Eh, Ea, Eb. The bits used are h4-h1, b1 and a4-a1 presenting a nine bit pattern as follows:
Hose Error
h4, h3, h2, h1 b1, a4, a3, a2, a1
A non-zero value in the Hose number portion indicates the presence of an error code in the error portion.
A zero value for the Hose number means bits b1 and a4-a1 are to be ignored by the Console. The binary
value of b1, a4, a3, a2, and a1 plus 19 results in the decimal error code displayed by the pump. For
example, if the binary value of the error bits is 24, then add 19 to get the displayed error of 43 or General
Error. This is a list of the current decimal error codes and their meanings returned by Post Modular,
Modular and some pre-modular pumps.

5. PUMP STATUS TRANSITION(S)
5.1 Pump State Diagram
In the following diagram, pump or controller initiated status transitions are shown. The notation indicates a
controller initiated transition and indicates a pump initiated transition. A line of indicates that both
an action at the pump and a controller command are needed for this transition to occur. These may occur
simultaneously from the controller‟s view and the key factor governing some of these transitions will be whether
fuel was dispensed. Transitions to and from the ERROR status are omitted since they are all pump initiated and
can occur from and to any other status.
These transitions represent the sequence of external status responses the controller may see based on
conditions and actions occurring at a pump.
“EoT” represents the End-of-Transaction status. “Authorize” is the Authorize command from the controller.
“Stop” is the Pump Stop command from the controller. “Ready” indicates that all conditions have been met for
beginning a sale (price/grade selection, handle up, valid grade, etc.). “Not Ready” implies that some of these
conditions have not been met.
* Note 1: Transitions marked with asterisks are unlikely to be seen by the controller except when
status polling is very infrequent.
Note 2: Transitions 5 (Call to Off) and 6 (Auth to Off) could occur when fuel has been
dispensed for some pre-modular pumps (refer to Sale Completion section).
Note 3: For most pumps, Transition 7 (Busy to Off) occurs when no fuel has been dispensed.
Note 4: Transition 10 (Call to Auth) is deprecated. Pumps should transition immediately to

Busy once Authorized from Call (Transition 11). Controllers should be aware that some
pumps will nevertheless go from Call via Auth to Busy (Transition 10 followed by 15).
Note 5: Transitions 13 (Busy to Call) & 19 (Busy to Stop) are alternatives. When no fuel has
been dispensed, some pumps will return to the Call state, others will go to the Stop
state the same as if fuel had been dispensed (Transition 18).

5.1.2 Pump Status Transition Table
In the following diagram, pump or controller initiated status transitions are shown. The notation “==>” indicates a
controller initiated transition and “-->” indicates a pump initiated transition. A line of “****>” indicates that both an
action at the pump and a controller command are needed for this transition to occur. These may occur
simultaneously from the controller‟s view and the key factor governing some of these transitions will be whether
fuel was dispensed. Transitions to the ERROR status are omitted since they are all pump initiated and can occur
from any other status.
These transitions represent the sequence of external status responses the controller may see based on
conditions and actions occurring at a pump. Each transition is numbered and the corresponding number in the
Transition Explanation list, explains the reason for the transition.

5.1.3 State Transition Explanation
1. Customer initiated fuel sale request.

2. Authorization received by pump from controller.
3. Completed sale status received by controller.
4. * Pump authorized by controller, handle up, customer dispenses some fuel, and then terminates transaction.
5. Customer or pump terminated a fuel sale with fuel being dispensed.
6. * Customer or pump terminated a fuel sale with fuel being dispensed.
7. * Customer or pump terminated a fuel sale with fuel being dispensed.
8. STOP issued by controller, no fuel dispensed and pump no longer requesting authorization.
9. STOP issued by controller, no fuel dispensed and pump no longer requesting authorization.
10. Pump authorization by controller, not all conditions met for beginning of transaction.
11. Pump authorized by controller, all conditions met for beginning of transaction.
12. Pump stopped by controller, but still requesting authorization.
13. Pump stopped by controller, but still requesting authorization (no fuel dispensed).
14. Customer or pump discontinued a fuel sale without fuel being dispensed (e.q. handle down then immediately
back up).
15. All prerequisites for beginning dispensing have been completed (i.e. price selection, handle up).
16. * Pump is authorized then stopped by controller with no intervening status polls and customer dispensed
some fuel before stop occurred.
17. * Handle up, customer dispenses some fuel, and then terminates the transaction.
18. Controller issues STOP and customer has not terminated transaction (fuel has been dispensed).
19. Pump stopped by controller, and customer has not terminated transaction (no fuel dispensed).
20. Customer terminated fuel transaction.
21. * Controller issues STOP, fuel was dispensed and customer has terminated fuel transaction.
22. Controller re-authorized pump before customer terminated fuel transaction.
23. Customer terminated fuel transaction while pump was stopped.
24. Controller registers transaction and next customer is initiating fuel transaction.
25. A repaired pump (could also go to CALL)
* NOTE 1: Transitions marked with asterisks are unlikely to be seen by the controller except when
status polling is very infrequent.
NOTE 2: Transitions 5 (Call to Off) and 6 (Auth to Off) could occur when fuel has been
dispensed for some pre-modular pumps (refer to Sale Completion section).
NOTE 3: Transition 10 is deprecated. Pumps should transition immediately to Busy once

Authorized from Call (Transition 11). Controllers should be aware that some pumps will
nevertheless go from Call via Auth to Busy (Transition 10 followed by 15).
NOTE 4: Transitions 13 (Busy to Call) & 19 (Busy to Stop) are alternatives. When no fuel has
been dispensed, some pumps will return to the Call state, others will go to the Stop
state the same as if fuel had been dispensed (Transition 18).

6. Pump Identification
The console needs to identify the pump‟s functional type and make certain it agrees with the console‟s
current site configuration ”map”. There are two methods for soliciting functional type data via the Two-
Wire. The first way is to use the Request for Transaction Data command. The Pump Identifier field
contained in the pump‟s response has some basic functional information about the pump including
blender versus non-blender and an indication of the maximum number of grades (3 or 6). Not all pump
models and software groups support this method, for example, Multiline models do not.
If more precise information is required, some pump models/software groups support a Special Function
called Miscellaneous Pump Data Request which contains more specific pump configuration information.
This method is only supported by Post-Modular pump models including Advantage, Encore E300,
Dimension, Euroline and Euro-Advantage. Refer to the section on Special Functions to find out how a
console can determine if a pump supports this function.

7. APPENDIX A
7.1 Application Note #001
Affected Document: TWO WIRE PROTOCOL REPORT VOL. 1

TWO-IS-S1.0-S
Issue Date: 10 September 1990
Author: K. Eric Lee
Reason: To support Push-To-Stop function and to meet the following criteria.

 Low risk and minimum change to pump software.
 No change to Console/PAM/CRIND software.
 Console/PAM shall be able to close out transactions when Pump
Handle is turned off or close out shift/PPU change if the pump is
isolated.
In a “Push-To-Stop” equipped pump, it is very likely that the “Pump

Handle” will be fixed and the Removal of nozzle will automatically activate
Pump Handle signal to the Console.
Functional Impact: 1. Pump will turn off valves as soon as PUSH to STOP button is pushed.
2. Valve can not be turned on again until Pump Handle is turned off and
pump authorized by the console.
3. Pump will display an error code as long as Pump Handle is ON.
Two Wire Impact: 1. The pump will not change the current state (i.e. Two Wire Status.)
2. The pump will respond to Two Wire commands and pump handle as
specified in Two Wire Protocol Report.
3. The ERROR Code will be available to the Console in the transaction
data at PUMP STOP state.
4. Note the error code condition will be removed if Pump Handle is at
“OFF” condition or is turned off.


TWO-IS-S1.0-S

Updated: 26 October 2007
Author: K. Eric Lee
Reason: Reduce PRESET and PPU transmission time
Two Wire Impact: 1. All pumps that support version number polling will also support a fast
PRESET and PPU Data transmission. This includes all modular
electronic pumps V50.2 and up, Blender and Post-Modular
Advantage. This currently does not include Epsilon, Sandpiper or
E101 based dispensers.
2. The delay time for word-to-word interval can be reduced from 68ms (as
specified in 3.4.3 DATA TO PUMP) to 6ms for this class of pumps.
3. A proposed algorithm from Two Wire Review Committee to take
advantage of the fast PPU/Preset Data transmission time.
a. Poll the pump version number when the pump comes on-line.
b. Store “response” or “no response” status for each pump in
the Console/Controller.
c. The Console/Controller will use the fast PPU/PRESET
transmission algorithm if all pumps at site respond to the
version number poll.
Note that this means the system may switch back to slow PRESET/PPU
transmission scheme if a “non-responding” pump (such as H-111B V10.7)
is added to the loop.
New Note 2007: Some pumps, such as Optimized Advantage and E300, support an even
faster Data transmission, called “Fast PPUs”. These pumps all respond
to the version number polling as above.
The delay time for word-to-word interval t6 can be reduced from 6ms (as
above) to 0ms. In addition, the delays for turn-around (t2), and between
data block and polling (t3) can both also be reduced to 0ms.
Note not all pumps that respond to the version number polling will support
the “Fast PPUs” enhanced timing. “Fast PPUs” should only be used if all
pumps on the site support it.


TWO-IS-S1.0-S
Issue Date: 20 June 1991
Author: T. E. Dickson
Reason: Definition of modifications to the pump‟s interface to consoles/CRINDs to

support changing of a preset (dollar or volume) with the pump handle on
or nozzle out. This allows more flexible control of a pump specifically by a
CRIND/Cash Acceptor.
Functional Impact: 1. No changes should be required for any existing console/CRIND.

2. All Advantage series pumps and non-blending pumps will receive this
capability. Other Modular Advantage versions and all pump versions
prior to Modular Advantage will not receive this capability.
3. A pump equipped with this feature will allow a preset (volume or
money) to be cancelled by the console/CRIND and accept a new
preset (volume or money) while the pump handle remains in the ON
position or the nozzle is out (auto-on pump). A preset of one type
(volume or money) may be replaced by a preset of the same or
different type.
4. Installing systems which depend on this feature may require upgrading
the software of existing pumps.
Two Wire Impact: 1. Preset/authorized pumps receiving a STOP (or ALL STOP) while the
handle is ON or the nozzle is OUT and with no fuel dispensed will
transition from BUSY to CALL. They will then accept a new preset
(and authorize) from the console/CRIND. Note that the pump only
goes BUSY when it enters lamp test which is after any prerequisite
operation such as Push-To-Start, keylock authorization or cash/credit
selection/confirmation by the customer.
2. If the pump handle is OFF (or the nozzle is IN) when the pump receives
a STOP, the pump will remain in IDLE (no change from current
operation).
3. There is no change to any message format or content as a result of this
modification of the pump‟s operation.
4. A grade or price level change is possible if the customer has not yet
confirmed the price level or selected the grade at the pump from the
previous preset. A grade and/or price level mismatch between the
preset command and the customer‟s selection will be handled per the
Two Wire Specification.
5. If a pump receives an Authorize after the STOP, instead of a new
preset, it will dispense up to the value of the previous preset received
(no change from current operation.) Exception: Sandpiper and later
based pumps clear the limit and any grade restriction, and so will not
stop at the previous preset limit.


TWO-IS-S1.0-S
Author: J. Ronchetti
Reason: Define proper operation of pre-Optimized Advantage Dispensers with the

Programmable Pump Preset option while used in conjunction with two-
wire presets.
Functional Impact: 1. No changes should be required for any existing console/CRIND.
Two Wire Impact: 1. If the console authorizes the pump for a fill-up, the customer selected
money or volume amount will terminate the sale.
2. If the console authorizes the pump for a preset and it matches the
customer preset type, i.e., both are money or both are volume, then
the lesser of the two presets will terminate the sale.
3. If the console authorizes the pump for a preset and it does not match
the customer preset type, then if the customer preset was received by
the pump before the console preset, then the pump will enter the
ERROR state and ignore the console preset data block and the
customer selected money or volume amount will terminate the sale.
The console must not send the AUTH command (or a matching
preset) to the pump until the pump has returned to either the OFF or
CALL state, i.e., the console must poll the pump again before sending
the next command. Or if the customer preset was initiated after the
pump received the console preset, then the customer preset will be
ignored by the pump and an error tone sounded by the pump.


TWO-IS-S1.0-S
Issue Date: 30 July 1997
Reason: Recommended sequence for sending a preset message to Advantage,

Highline, Legacy and MPD dispensers.
Method: 1. Console polls pump.

2. Pump responds with its status (must be OFF/IDLE or CALL).
3. Console immediately sends 'Data Next' („2‟ „‟) command to pump.
4. Pump responds with 'Send Data' („D‟ „‟).
5. Console immediately sends 'Preset Message' (<DATA BLOCK>).
6. Console immediately polls pump to check that the preset message was
received without error.
7. If pump responds without error, the console immediately sends the
Authorize command.
8. If pump responds 'Error', the console must start the sequence over
(Poll, Data Next, Preset Message, Poll, Auth).
Please note that this sequence should be performed in the minimum

amount of time, to minimize any lost presets due to the customer flipping
the pump handle on and off. You should not poll any other pumps during
this sequence.


TWO-IS-S1.0-S
Issue Date: 19 November 2002
Reason: Recommended sequence for sending a price change message to

Advantage, Highline, Legacy and MPD, Eclipse and Sandpiper based
E500 dispensers.
Method: 1. Console polls pump.

2. Pump responds with its status (must be OFF/IDLE or CALL).
3. Console immediately sends 'Data Next' („2‟ „‟) command to pump.
4. Pump responds with 'Send Data' („D‟ „‟).
5. Console immediately sends 'Price Change Data' (<DATA BLOCK>).
6. Console immediately polls pump to check that the price change
message was received without error.
7. If pump responds without error, the price change was successful.
8. If pump responds 'Error', the console must start the sequence over
(Poll, Data Next, Price Change Message, Poll).
Please note that the above sequence is performed for EACH price to be
sent to a dispenser, e.g., for a 5+1 blender with two level pricing, the
above sequence is performed a total of 12 times for each side, to update
every price.


TWO-IS-S1.0-S
Issue Date: 17 April 1996

Updated: 19 February 2004
Author: K. Eric Lee
Reason: Calculation of LRC checksums in the Gilbarco Two-Wire Protocol
Method: The Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC) character is included in every

data block transmitted between the console and the pump, except the
Special Function Data Request Command sequence from the pump.
Simple commands sent to the pump, e.g., the status poll or authorize
command, do not include an LRC
The pump commands that do not require the LRC check character are:
 Status Poll
 Authorize
 Pump Stop
 All Stop
 Request for Transaction Data
 Request for Pump Totals
 Request for Real Time Money
The following responses to the above commands DO include a check

character to insure data integrity, and is calculated as follows:
 Request for Transaction Data Response
 Request for Pump Totals Response
Check character calculation:

 Beginning with the <STX> character, sum the least significant nibble
of the bytes. Continue to sum the nibbles, up to and including the
LRC next <LRCn> character. The character which follows this is
the LRC character which was calculated by the pump. The least
significant nibble is equal to the 2's compliment of the summation
of all the least significant nibbles. This nibble should be identical
to the one which was calculated by the receiving station to insure
the data received is identical to the data sent.
Example:
Data stream:
FF F1 F8 E1 E1 E1 E1 E1 F6 E1 F4 FB ED F0
To calculate the LRC on this data stream sum:

0x0F
0x01
0x08
0x01
0x01
0x01
0x01
0x01
0x06
0x01
0x04
0x0B
--------
0x33 = 00110011b
Take compliment of 00110011b = 11001100b
To get 2's compliment add 1 to the compliment: 11001100b + 1b

= 11001101b
Take the least significant nibble of this: 1101b = 0x0D. This is the
LRC, sent as 0xED.
Special functions however have modified rules as to the calculation of the

checksum:
When sending a special function message the rules to apply to
the LRC are the same as those outlined above. When creating
the <DATA BLOCK>, begin summing with the <STX> character
and end with the LRC next character <LRCn>. Using the rules
described before, take the 2's compliment of this number and
logical OR the least significant nibble with 0xF0 to create the LRC
character.
When receiving a special function response, a different set of

checksum rules apply. To enhance error detection the special
function response uses a full byte in the checksum. To get a byte
of checksum the character must be split, due to message level
requirements. See section 3.11.2 of the Two Wire Specification.
All special function responses will begin with Block Length Next
characters. These characters are not to be included in the
checksum.
In section RESPONSE STRUCTURE of the Two Wire

specification is a simple example of the calculation of a
checksum. First translate the received bytes. This involves
stripping the most significant nibble off the byte and assembling it
with the appropriate next character, i.e. Block Length MSD is B0.
(B0 thru B9 represent hex 0 thru 9 and C1 thru C6 represent hex
A thru F.) Convert B0 to hex 0 and you have 0x00, shift this left 4
bits and you get 0x00. Next you will receive the Block Length
LSD, B1. Convert B1 to hex 1 and you are left with 0x01. Since
this IS the least significant nibble it isn't necessary to shift the bits.
Perform a logical OR operation on the two hex nibbles and 0x01
is the result. This is the translated hex byte. This result is the
result that is included in the summation. In section 3.11.2 this is:
0x01
0x23
0x45
0x67
0x89
-----------
0x0159 since this is greater than a 1 byte value we
ignore the most significant byte, thus we are left with 0x59
0x59 in binary is 01011001b and taking the compliment of this we

get 10100110b

Adding 1 to this gives us the 2's compliment 10100111b = 0xA7

which is the checksum byte. This is sent as 0xC1 0xB7.
Note: The values in the data block that are C1 thru C6 are converted to A
thru F hex, respectively.

Affected Document: TWO WIRE PROTOCOL REPORT VOL 1

TWO-IS-S1.0-S
Issue Date: April 30, 2011
Author: F. Shan, S. Liu, Zou X., Zhao Y.
Reason: China pumps Special pump States and data format
Notes:
1. Newer Chinese pumps go from CALL status to BUSY (9x) via AUTH (8x). The transition from AUTH to
BUSY happens spontaneously once the transaction money/volume has been reset and the pump and
solenoid activated. Some earlier China pumps do not have AUTH state when authorizing the pump from
CALL status; they will go to BUSY directly.
2. Some earlier China pumps do not send any EOT status (either PEOT or FEOT). The controller software will
have to handle the situation where the pump goes to IDLE from BUSY directly as an exceptional case, and
use the Totals increase to determine if it is a real transaction.
3. Earlier Endeavour pumps may not support Special Functions, and for Endeavour pump, each fuelling
position only has one product, so there is no need to ask for Products‟ ID by Special Function or by
command 4X at STOP status.
4. For China Endeavour pumps, even where there is only one product on each fuelling position, the Totals
Response to command 5X are still composed of 3 products, for historical compatibility reasons.
5. Volume totals implemented in China pumps are configured as one decimal place less than the volume main
display. So if the main display volume is (x)xxx.xxx, then the totals will be (xxxx)xxxxxx.xx, and if the main
display volume is (x)xxxx.xx, then the totals will be (xxxx)xxxxxxx.x format. In some new pumps the volume
totals decimal places can be selected as 1 or 2 from the keypad when the main display volume has 2
decimal places (x)xxxx.xx; refer to the pump manual.
6. Command 4X – transaction data is not updated at CALL status, but updated at STOP and EOT status.
7. Command 5X – totals data are not updated at STOP status, only updated at the EOT.
8. Extended data formats are used for the pumps with 7-7-6 main display.
9. Some old China pumps may also have a longer time to command response, >68ms.
10. For China pumps with 8051 CPU, the Two-Wire baud rate is 5760bps rather than 5787bps (Z80 CPU). This
is compatible with FCC running at 5787bps baud rate.
11. Most China pumps have the 2-wire input clamp voltage, <18V.
