A fuel cell controller must be flexible and reliable. GOcontroll offers modular solutions with advanced monitoring tailored for complex hydrogen systems.

Controlling a fuel cell system is no small task. It involves balancing highly sensitive variables, dynamic power loads, and environmental conditions—all without sacrificing efficiency or safety. That’s where a fuel cell controller from GOcontroll comes in. Built with modular hardware and advanced diagnostics, GOcontroll’s controllers are trusted and proven in hydrogen applications where uptime, flexibility, and system insight are essential.

A core challenge in fuel cell engineering is that no two systems are alike. GOcontroll’s Moduline embedded controllers are designed to handle diverse setups by allowing users to build a fully customized configuration from a series of plug-in modules.

Why modular matters for a fuel cell controller:

• Input/Output flexibility (voltage, current, frequency)
• Expandable architecture (scale up sensor & actuator capacity)
• Plug-and-play hardware reconfiguration
• CAN and LIN bus support for system integration

Whether you’re developing a PEM fuel cell in a test lab or managing a hybrid powertrain on a hydrogen vehicle, GOcontroll adapts as you evolve without redesigning your entire control system. With several systems in the field, GOcontroll proves their competence.

Fuel cells are highly sensitive to operating conditions. Without tight control and real-time monitoring, small variances can lead to derating, reduced efficiency, or premature failure.

GOcontroll equips each fuel cell controller with advanced monitoring capabilities:

• Onboard diagnostics of voltages, currents, temperatures
• Integration with predictive maintenance dashboards
• Secure remote access via VPN or cloud
• Real-time XCP data streaming with HANtune or Simulink

These features ensure operators detect anomalies before they become problems. They also provide the insight needed for continuous system improvement, stack balancing, or long-term durability testing.

GOcontroll doesn’t just offer hardware, it enables innovation. Whether you’re an embedded engineer or a MATLAB Simulink user, their software ecosystem makes complex control accessible.

Software tools included:

• MATLAB/Simulink blockset – for model-based design
• Node-RED – for visual programming and cloud workflows
• Custom C API – for full embedded development
• Android App – for on-site wireless configuration and status feedback

This range of tools reduces development cycles, minimizes errors, and empowers teams to iterate faster even without deep control systems expertise.

GOcontroll isn’t just about devices, it’s also about uptime. In critical fuel cell systems, monitoring and maintenance must continue after deployment. GOcontroll offers monitoring as a service, allowing clients to outsource system oversight. All controllers are equipped with embedded interfaces to communicate over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE.

Key remote features:

• Cloud dashboards with custom KPIs
• Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates
• Secured access using VPN based connections
• Application version tracking and security certificates

With these services, your fuel cell controller remains future-proof, manageable, and secure even at scale.

GOcontroll’s team actively works with clients in hydrogen mobility, energy storage, and agricultural innovation. Their understanding of control architecture, combined with hands-on support, ensures your controller setup delivers exactly what your system needs. From sensor wiring diagrams to Simulink tuning sessions, we guide you through the technical journey with clarity.

GOcontroll supports the entire lifecycle of a hydrogen project. From feasibility studies to mass deployment, their system scales naturally:

• Start with a single controller for test benches
• Add monitoring during pilot phases
• Scale up using batch deployment tools
• Offer maintenance and updates via cloud

Thanks to GOcontroll’s fuel cell controller ecosystem, teams stay focused on innovation, not integration issues.
