Triangle MicroSystems, Inc. (TMS) Celebrates it's 40 year Anniversary

Triangle MicroSystems, Inc. (TMS) is a fuel control systems company. We were formed in April 1978 as an engineering consulting business with our primary focus on contract engineering and microprocessor-based product development. By 1982 the company had developed its own product lines, a rapidly growing customer base, and expertise in the design and manufacture of fuel control and automation systems for retail and commercial fuel dispensers. TMS has continued to cultivate an excellent product reputation and favorable company image based on our quality products, strong product warranty, and a highly customer-oriented service department. Located in beautiful Raleigh, North Carolina, TMS is in the heart of technology with the Research Triangle Park close by.

Triangle MicroSystems has a strong customer base from large scale to mom and pop stores, as well as marinas and commercial sites. This has been accomplished through the development of a network of over 500 distributors, dealers, and service accounts across the US and Canada. Our controllers have been proven time and again to stand up to the harsh environments found in both the C-Stores and Marinas.

The fuel control product line features our MPC and EZ consoles for electronic dispensers, the MPC Hybrid console which now replaces the TMS-800F Plus controller for mechanical pumps, and the M2E (mechanical to electronic) converter board. Our M2E boards convert mechanical pulses into an electronic output, thus “converting” a mechanical pump into an electronic that can be controlled by any controller. Also included in our line is the EZ/TXECSS System which has been developed in response to a growing demand for an inexpensive pay-at- the-pump system. This product combines a TMS EZ fuel controller with a PC application written by TXECSS of Richardson, TX., in order to create a very cost-effective point of sale system. The EZ/TXECSS system is designed to control a wide range of electronic dispensers, with or without on-board card readers, and will manage any payment mode – cash, credit, debit, or proprietary cards. Costing significantly less than other controllers, this product is ideal for small independent gasoline stations, marinas, and C- stores.

TMS is continuing research and engineering development programs and will continue to provide new and improved products for the petroleum equipment industry for many more years to come.

Triangle MicroSystems, Inc. (TMS), together with Allied Electronics, Inc. and Triple E Technologies, LLC., is happy to announce an exciting new solution for mechanical fuel dispensers.

The Mechanical-to- Electronic converter board, also known as the “M2E” allows legacy mechanical dispensers to interface with the latest forecourt technology available.

This long-awaited technology is welcome news as it permits end users to forego unneeded and costly dispenser upgrades in an age of cost prohibitive regulatory requirements.

Along with a point-of- sale system from Triple E Technologies and the powerful NeXGen Forecourt Controller from Allied Electronics, the first site, with seven (7) M2E boards, is currently installed and has been running seamlessly for more than 3 months.

Since 1979, Triangle MicroSystems (TMS) has been a leading manufacturer of fuel pump controls that are widely recognized for their value and reliability. TMS also manufactures the EZ Console, which is a system widely recognized for its consistent quality, high reliability, low maintenance, and service support.

When it comes to automation, no other company has done more for the retail petroleum industry than Allied Electronics, Inc. Allied has provided the Major Oil, Jobber and Hypermarket arenas with the latest in technology for service station automation for nearly 40 years. Allied’s core business is supplying best-in- class forecourt solutions. Specifically, Allied Electronics, Inc. proudly manufactures and sells the NeXGen and AEGIS models of forecourt controllers.

Triple E Technologies, LLC. brings more than 30 years of knowledge to the petroleum industry with flexible turnkey POS solutions designed to meet the needs of any type of fueling location a petroleum marketer owns or operates. Triple E is also a leading provider of payment software for the c-store and petroleum industries with its “OneTouch Suite” software.

EZ PetroSmart Pay-at-the-Pump Update

Sixteen years ago, TMS entered into a joint venture with Special Service Systems of Tulsa, OK to develop a low-cost pay-at-the-pump solution for the petroleum market. The resulting system paired their PetroSmart credit card terminal with our TMS EZ gas pump controller, and has since been employed in hundreds of stores across the U.S.

SSS has announced that they will be shutting down their business operations for good on November 30th, 2015. With the closing of their doors, the PetroSmart terminal will no longer be available. Consequently, we regret to announce that we can no longer offer the pay-at-the-pump option with our EZ system. This is effective immediately. SSS has indicated that they will be contacting end users directly regarding this development.

TMS will continue to support the EZ console and honor the warranty of our portion of the system. We will not, however, be able to support the PetroSmart card terminal except on a very limited basis since this was Special Service Systems’ product and our knowledge is somewhat limited on it.

We will be exploring options for developing a new pay-at-the-pump solution, so please keep reading our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for future announcements.

We are now at 60+ problem free days on our installation with the Bennett Pacific reader/EZ PetroSmart system.

TMS is pleased to announce that we have installed our first site with Bennett Pacific pumps and card readers with our EZ PetroSmart console.
