PI DBox
Introduction
To ensure compatibility with major model electronic dispensers, Progressive International’s PI DBox is
available in serveral versions. Each of these versions is specifically configured for its intended
dispenser type.
CL-DBox is used in the following applications:
Gilbarco dispenser
Wayne dispenser
TOK-DBox is used with:
Tokheim dispenser
RS485-DBox is used in the following applications:
Wayne CAT dispenser with card reader
Tokheim DPT dispenser with card reader
Tatsuno dispenser
Nuovo Pignone dispenser
KB-DBox is used in the following applications:
Kraus electronic dispensers
Bennett dispensers
EZ-DBox is used in the following applications:
PIE ethernet (i.e., FuelDirect)
Non-PIE applications (i.e., other POS systems and dispenser controllers)
All of these DBoxes are designed to be used with PIE’s controllers and consoles (PIE applications).
The Current Loop and Tokheim DBoxes are also capable of being used by the dispenser brand’s
controlling equipment (stand-alone application).
Current Loop and Tokheim style PI DBox models come with isolation capability for each physical
connection to the dispenser. LED indicators allow simple in-field troubleshooting and diagnostics.
The EZwire DBox can be used to control a Gilbarco dispenser and reader over a single pair of
communication wires. This eliminates the need to run a second pair of data wires when converting a
major oil dispenser/reader to the generic version.
The following sections describe each of the PI DBox installations in detail.
