<h1>RFCcontrol</h1>

<p>RFCcontrol is a generalized control system for fuel cell, electrolyser cells, battery and other types of materials test stations / test setups. <br>
It features data logging as well as device control and can handle gas flow control, temperature control, relay control, control of DC power supplies as well as handle data acquisition through a number of data logging devices.<br> 
It has been expanded and updated regularly since its begining in 2001. It is free and open source and builds on Linux, Apache og Perl.
</p>
 
<p><b>Main features of RFCcontrol:</b>
<ul>
<li> RFCcontrol is browser-based and the equipment can be controlled remotely by VPN or Citrix (depending on firewall rules etc)</li>
<li> It has integrated logging (experimental parameters and actions) and records who-does-what and when</li>
<li> It handles power outages well – logging starts automatically when the power is back and the PC reboots</li>
<li> It can be integrated with Elchemea for electrochemical measurements</li>
<li> You may programme sequences of actions (combinations of changed temperatures, gas, time, electrochemical measurements)</li>
<li> All data incl. historical are online and accessible from your office or from outside your organisation via VPN or Citrix (depending on IT setup, firewall rules etc.) and may be used for data mining.</li>
<li> Users may configure which events or alerts from the system that should result in an email if thresholds are exceeded and how the system should act on this</li>
<li> The system can be upgraded on-the-fly and improvements and new features can be transferred to all rigs usually without reboot.</li>
<li> RFC control has an integrated logbook</li>
<li> Automatic and systematic naming of experiments and files, back-up, accessibility and findability complies with data management guidelines.</li>
<li> Optional custum designed user interfaces allowing for intuitive visual control of gas flows etc.</li>
<li> Can be configured to work with Central Authentication Service (CAS) single signon systems to eliminate local handling of user credentials.</li>
<li> From version 8.0 it is again possible to do calcualtions on carbon containing atmospheres!</li>
</ul>
