For retrofitting older Gilbarco sites (Encore 300/500) without replacing dispensers, the new two-wire protocol converters are the only economical path.

The Gilbarco dispenser two-wire protocol is a master-slave protocol that uses a two-wire serial communication link between the pump controller (master) and the dispenser (slave). The protocol is based on a simple, asynchronous serial communication standard, with a single master device (pump controller) and multiple slave devices (dispensers).

When configuring your third-party controller, the standard baud rates and frame settings depend on the dispenser series: basic data | CRIND (card reader)

New Gilbarco dispensers feature sophisticated blending valves (combining low and high octane). The protocol payload must be handled carefully to correctly map the exact grade selected by the consumer to the active underground storage tank (UST) submersible pump.
