Control Panels Menu

This menu shows the available interactive panels that are configured by the Panel Configuration menu. A panel is a

control unit that allows a specific control task or acquisition of sensor data. There are 5 types of control panels:

•Single Stat: an input-only controller for displaying sensor measurements

•Switch: an ON/OFF output-only (open-loop) controller

•Slider: a range output-only (open-loop) controller

•ON-OFF controller: a closed-loop controller with ON/OFF (bang-bang) control algorithm

•PID Controller: a closed-loop controller with PID control algorithm

In the example picture below:

The C2H4 PID panel is a PID controller. As a closed-loop controller, it requires sensors for input and actuators for

driving output in the system. In this case, the sensor feedback is ethylene measurement from the F901B Sensor and

the actuator is the ethylene generator.

The Environment panel is a Single-Stat controller, which periodically acquires additional sensor data from the F901B

sensor.

Alarms Menu

Use this menu to manage sensor alarms, via Sounds (beeper and speaker) or Emails.

Recipes menu

The F901 Controller provides programmable scheduler for the configured control panels. For example, in the screen

below, a 48-hour ethylene PID-controller program is running with 5 different setpoint steps at specific time and

duration.
