The fpControl system offers the possibility to carry out several start-up attempts in the automatic start mode.

The fpControl cooldown phase
The »fpControl GC-S« has an integrated cooldown phase to cool the engine down before it is switched off. All generators with fpControl have this feature. The duration of the cooldown phase can be set in the service menu of the »fpControl CP-G«. So the cool down phase can be adapted to individual applications.
AGT UI control with BMS
You can connect a Fischer Panda AGT generator to a battery management system (BMS). In BMS UI mode the AGT can control either on voltage or on current.
The tank refill function of fpControl
With the tank refill function of fpControl you can refill the integrated tank of the generator with diesel fuel from a separate additional tank.
The fpControl cold start aid
You can preheat the diesel engine with a cold start aid. This is necessary if the generator is started at an ambient temperature of less than -20 °C.
Shore power switch-over using the fpControl system
You can use the shore power switch-over to automatically switch the supply of your on-board network between the shore network and the generator. This switch-over is used if the mains voltage fails. When the mains voltage is restored, the switch-over can switch back to shore power.
fpControl software update
You can update the software of the generator control »fpControl Generator Control – Servo« (fpControl GC-S) and the software of the bus modules on the fpCAN. For this purpose, the software update files are transferred to the »fpControl GC-S«, which distributes the updates to the other bus modules.
Adjusting the parameters for the battery loader with fpControl
You can set the charging curve parameters of the battery loader. This is necessary to adapt the battery loader to different battery types.
Configuring multifunctional outputs at fpControl
The generator control fpControl offers two multifunctional outputs. You can configure the function of these digital outputs in the service menu of the control panel. This is useful, for example, to extend the functionality of the generator control. For each of the two outputs several profiles are available.
Setting the generator type code at fpControl
You can set the generator type code in service menu of the control panel. This is necessary to adapt the generator control fpControl to different generator types.
