Connecting Fleetwatch to Your Tank Monitor
Fleetwatch can connect to your tank monitoring system to retrieve critical data such as inventory levels, delivery information, and alarm notifications.

Inventory reconciliation: if Fleetwatch manages all distribution points for a fuel or fluid (every nozzle, dispenser, and pump), it can also help reconcile inventory discrepancies by comparing what left the tank with what Fleetwatch recorded as dispensed.
Tank Monitors
Fleetwatch works with tank monitors that support the Veeder-Root protocol, such as the Veeder-Root TLS-350 and compatible systems like the Franklin Fueling Systems TS-550 evo and TS-5000 evo.

Two Ways to Connect
|
Option 1
Network card + IP address
The tank monitor has a network card on your network. Fleetwatch retrieves reports by connecting to the monitor’s IP address and port number.
|
Option 2
Serial communications board
Fleetwatch connects to the monitor’s serial port through a DeviceMaster or Moxa device, which puts the serial connection on the network.
|
Back of a TLS-350. The green arrow points to a serial communications port.
⚠ Required for both methods
The Veeder-Root protocol must be enabled on the tank monitor’s communication port for the connection to work. Your tank monitor service provider can confirm or enable it.
Fleetwatch Cloud Customers
Your tank monitor is on your local network, and the Fleetwatch Cloud Server is not. A VM Connector server on your network solves this. It runs a service that relays data between the tank monitor and the Fleetwatch Cloud Server.
