This menu displays real-time data of sensor measurements. Measurement will only show in this menu if it is enabled
in the Control Panels menu.

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.
