An autonomous controller is a device that can initiate the sending of alarms and other data by embedded Web, FTP, and e-mail functions over an Intranet or the Internet. The FCN and FCJ autonomous controllers can survive in harsh conditions, with the FCJ able to function at ambient temperatures ranging from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 5-95% and the FCN at 0-55 degrees Celsius and 5-95% RH. And both FCN and FCJ are compliant with FM Non-Incendive Class I Division 2 . The following systems can be built to take advantage of the autonomous controller's capabilities. More solutions can be provided by writing Java software.

1. Monitoring data from a remote location such as pipeline or wellhead using an office PC connected to a public switched telephone network (PSTN)
2. Notification via a satellite uplink of an abnormal condition by a device located on a ship
3. Gathering together data for control and monitoring via the Internet or an intranet Use of a wireless communications device such as a PDA or a mobile phone to monitor data
4. Checking the status of equipment at a remote location
