Farewell to an icon: the Fancom FC controller

A controller that set the standard

In the early 1990s, the introduction of the FC controller revolutionized climate control. At a time when farm automation often required a great deal of technical knowledge, the FC series offered unprecedented simplicity thanks to the clear function keys for each control on the controller. With a number of practical presets, farmers could effortlessly control the climate in their barns – without complicated menus.

With variants such as the FCJA and FCJC for poultry houses, the FCT and FCTA for pig houses, and various special versions including the FCF for mushroom cultivation and the FCH for piglet nests, the FC series grew into a versatile and widely applicable controller.
