Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the application of power on a conventional 2-cable line may cause damage to associated circuits and / or components receiving communications on the cable
Additionally, these communication links typically provide bandwidth of 10 kilobits per second (kbps) or less, which is not large enough for some desired applications

Abstract

Various systems and methods are provided to facilitate power communication over conventional cables. This may be accomplished in a fuel dispensing environment, where the fuel dispenser may include: a diode coupler communicatively coupled to a conventional cable to receive power communication from one or more back room components over the conventional cable during a power outage; and A broadband communication modem for communicating with the one or more back room components, wherein the diode coupler provides power from the power communication to the broadband communication modem. A repeater may be used at the fuel dispenser and / or back room components to determine whether to use power communication or conventional communication based on whether power is available at the components communicating via conventional cables. In addition, fail-safe protection of conventional communication circuits is provided when power communication is active.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter described herein generally relates to retail fueling environments commonly referred to as service stations. More specifically, the subject matter described herein relates to retail fueling environments that provide electrical communication over traditional wires. Background technique [0002] A fuel distribution station generally includes one or more fuel dispensers and at least one back room having one or more components in communication with the one or more fuel dispensers. The backroom component operates the fuel dispenser to initiate dispensing, process consumption data, facilitate video surveillance, perform leak detection, perform valve state detection, or another operation by communicating with the fuel dispenser. The fuel dispenser station typically delivers power to each fuel dispenser in the front yard or at least to a central power source in the front yard, and back room components are also powered. Power for the back ro...
