The Franklin Fueling Gateway uses the Veeder Root TLS 350 protocol to poll for status, real time and configuration data. Thus the driver can be used to read Tank Inventory, System Status, Tank Alarms, Sensor Alarms and more.
The Gateway connects to the Fuel Management System, reads data and stores it internally. When a remote system requests data, this data is served in a form that is appropriate to the protocol. In the event that the connection to the Fuel Management System is lost, or data cannot be read, the Gateway can signal this to the remote data client.
The Franklin Fueling Gateway serves data from a Franklin Fueling Fuel Management System panel as Modbus, BACnet or Web data. The gateway supports all these options simultaneously. Use the data you want and ignore the other.
The Gateway requires minimal configuration and can be considered a plug and play component of a system, in that it is ready to operate out of the box with the default configuration.
The driver is a serial driver using a RS232 serial port to connect between the Gateway and the Franklin Fueling Fuel Management System. The Fuel Management System must have a suitable RS232 card installed that can support the Veeder Root TLS 350 protocol. The Gateway also provides support for more specific data points using the Franklin Fueling TSA XML protocol.
The CAS Franklin Fueling Gateway supports and has been tested with the following Products:
- TS-1001 Full Feature Compliance Consoles
- EVO™ 550 and EVO™ 5000 Automatic Tank Gauges
The CAS Franklin Fueling Gateway supports, but has not been tested with the following Products:
- TS-1001/G Fixed Feature Generator Tank Monitoring Console
- TS-750 Fixed Feature Tank Monitoring and Compliance Kits
- EVO™ 200 and EVO™ 400 Automatic Tank Gauges

CAS Hardware 700
The CAS 700 Hardware device contains 2x 9-pin serial ports (1x RS485 and 1xRS232), and one Ethernet port. The device also contains a microSD card where system files, assets, configurations, and logs are stored.
The device has the following system drivers that can be enabled:
- HTTP REST Server - a passive web server with an API that users can interact with the device to get or set values
- HTTP Push Driver - a driver that can be configured to push data in a specific format (JSON, XML, CSV) to a 3rd party web server. Current data formats are Chipkin's default JSON payload and VeederRoot Tank data as JSON. Please contact Chipkin for information on adding additional formats.
Franklin Fueling Driver
The CAS Franklin Fueling driver allows the CAS Gateway to read data from a Franklin Fueling Tank Gauge Panel using the Franklin Fueling TSA XML protocol over Ethernet TCP/IP. The CAS Gateway can connect to a Franklin Fueling TS-1001, TS-5, TS-550 and TS-550 Evo, and TS-5000 series of panels to read and store data. This driver only supports read-only functions and cannot command or configure the Franklin Fueling Panel. To read Tank and Sensor data, the CAS Gateway must also have the Veeder Root Serial Driver.
The CAS Franklin Fueling driver supports the following commands:
- cmdAppTpiGetControllerState - Returns the current status of the controller associated to the specified pump
- cmdAppTpiGetControllerStatusFaults - Returns the current fault status from the controller associated to the specified pump
BACnet IP Driver
The CAS BACnet IP driver allows the CAS Gateway to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet UDP/IP using the BACnet IP protocol. The CAS Gateway can either be a Client, reading and storing values from a BACnet device, or a Server, making data available as BACnet objects.
The CAS BACnet IP Driver supports the following BACnet Services:
| - Who-Is | - Who-Has |
| - Read Property | - Read Property Multiple |
| - Write Property | - Write Property Multiple |
| - Subscribe COV | - Time Synchronization |
Note: Chipkin is always updating the BACnet IP Driver. For a recent list of supported services, please visit www.chipkin.com or contact us. If there are services that you require that are not listed, please contact us to discuss how we can add them to the driver.
Modbus TCP Driver
The CAS Modbus TCP driver allows the CAS Gateway to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet TCP/IP using the Modbus protocol. The CAS Gateway can either be a Client, reading and controlling values from a slave, or a Server, serving data to a Modbus Master.
The CAS Modbus TCP Driver supports the following Modbus Functions:
| - 01 (0x01) Read Coils | - 05 (0x05) Write Single Coil |
| - 02 (0x02) Read Discrete Inputs | - 06 (0x06) Write Single Register |
| - 03 (0x03) Read Holding Registers | - 15 (0x0F) Write Multiple Coils |
| - 04 (0x04) Read Input Registers | - 16 (0x10) Write Multiple Registers |
Modbus RTU Driver
The CAS Modbus RTU driver allows the CAS Gateway to transfer data to and from devices via a serial RS485 connection using the Modbus protocol. The CAS Gateway can either be a Client, reading and controlling values from a slave, or a Server, serving data to a Modbus Master.
The CAS Modbus RTU Driver supports the following Modbus Functions:
| - 01 (0x01) Read Coils | - 05 (0x05) Write Single Coil |
| - 02 (0x02) Read Discrete Inputs | - 06 (0x06) Write Single Register |
| - 03 (0x03) Read Holding Registers | - 15 (0x0F) Write Multiple Coils |
| - 04 (0x04) Read Input Registers | - 16 (0x10) Write Multiple Registers |
Web (HTTP, XML, REST, Json, MQTT) Driver
The Web Diver allows for data to be monitored by remote systems running applications that can issue HTTP or SOAP/XML GET requests – such applications can be easily developed by end users. Of course, this data is available using an Internet Browser such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome
