Advanced control technology for FES screw compressors.

GForce, a microprocessor control system that is a continuing evolution of FES screw compressor and refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective.  system control technology, has been introduced by FES Systems, Inc.

The GForce technology control panel features a 15-inch (380mm) diagonal LCD touch screen. A polyester overlay protects the 120[degrees] viewing angle display screen from chemical or weather damage. The display graphics are easy to read and allow "one-or-two" touch navigation through the control system operation.

The panel can be controlled directly from the GForce touch-screen or via the built-in Ethernet connection. The operator can simply use a PC and a browser, such as Internet Explorer or VNC (Virtual Network Computing) Open source remote control software for accessing host computers from a variety of remote clients. A VNC "server" is the host being accessed, while the VNC "client" is the remote device doing the controlling and viewing.  Viewer, allowing for 100% read and write monitoring and control.

The control hardware features an industrial computer with a 1.5 GHz Intel Celeron M processor, and provides the operator with the latest technology for programming and data storage.
