Uniplex III


High-performance control system for heating systems

Even in the latest version, the UNIPLEX heating controller of Klöpper-Therm will convince you due to development competence and future-looking technology in a single device. Developed especially for the control and monitoring of electrical heating systems, several function blocks are combined in a single device. The temperature controller, safety temperature limiter, and current controller are accommodated on a 19" plug-in card in European format in a space-saving manner.

Our innovation, your advantages

For you, this means:

  • Almost no temperature fluctuations
  • Cost reduction due to fewer lines and resistors
  • Ready for changes in your production
  • Easy handling with networking capability

 

 

The main features

  • High degree of safety due to safety temperature limiters (STB), which are certified according to ATEX and classified according to safety level SIL 2
  • Configurable as a PI or two-point controller
  • Continuous regulation of the heating circuit through the actuation of an electronic load relay (SSR)
  • Integrated current controller (pulse width modulation) for setting the desired heating current (reduces the number of heating line or resistor types used)
  • Demand-related adaptation of the heating current to variable holding temperatures
  • Large display that shows setpoint, actual values, and control values (control value as bar graph)
  • Convenient operating menu in various languages (language switchover)
  • Serial  RS-485 interface and Ethernet interface for connection to parent systems
  • Front panel USB connection for diagnostics/configuration
  • Password-protected access on three levels
  • Reset of the limiter using a tool or code entry
  • Various limit value monitors for temperature and current
  • Automatic self-test
  • Expanded application possibilities due to additional controller and limiter measuring sensor
  • Connection of 4-20 mA sensor or setpoint adjuster
