A Local Controller device installed in or on the fuel pump capable of functioning as a pump controller dedicated solely to the pump in which it is installed and as a data router to and from the peripheral devices. This dedicated Local Controller o device contains a microcomputer with a pump communications interface and optionally a remote, Site Controller communication interface which is non-dedicated and has control over many pumps at the station. If connected to such a Site Controller, the device will function as a slave to this Site Controller. Otherwise it functions autonomously to control the pump on its own.

Also, various related systems including the dispensing device are provided.

A system for maintaining the operating condition of a machine is provided. The system includes a dispensing device having: an interchangeable control module, the interchangeable control module including control hardware that provides a central processing unit, a data storage memory, and communication modules. The dispensing device is configured to dispense lubricant in order to maintain the operating condition of the machine. The interchangeable control module is configured to interchangeably control and interchangeably reside in either a fixed or a portable dispensing device. The interchangeable control module communicates to an external or internal intermediary computing device. The interchangeable control module includes interface hardware for facilitating with at least one condition monitoring sensors, and based on measurements received from the at least one condition monitoring sensor, the interchangeable control module determines the amount or type of lubricant required, and creates a maintenance action to be completed.

A distribution station includes a mobile trailer, a pump on the mobile trailer, at least one manifold on the mobile trailer and fluidly connected with the pump, and a plurality of reels on the mobile trailer. A plurality of hoses are connected with different ones of the reels. A plurality of valves on the mobile trailer are situated between the manifold and respective different ones of the reels. A plurality of fluid level sensors are associated with different ones of the hoses. A controller is configured to individually open and close the valves responsive to the fluid level sensors, and a satellite dish is mounted on the mobile trailer. The satellite dish is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position.
