Uniplex III and UNIWIN – An unbeatable team
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.
We are looking forward to your call.

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 most important features:
- Clear display of the heating circuits and
heating circuit groups (buses) due to the
folder structure on the left side of the screen - Status overview of the individual heating
circuits and heating circuit groups (trains) - Detailed overview of the individual heating circuit data
- Trend curves for temperatures and currents
- Reset of the alarm messages of the heating controller
- Various user levels with assigned permissions
- Extensive alarm and message archive
(the current messages are always visible at
the bottom of the screen for the heating circuit) - Newly arrived messages are signalled in
the status overview by flashing - Selection of several menu languages possible
- Plant documentation through the storage of images and circuit diagrams, isometrics, etc. in *.csv, *.jpg, *.png, and *.pdf format
- Integrated search functions (heating circuits, trains, train groups)

The new UNIPLEX III RS
The UNIPLEX-III-RS is the new heating controller for the top-hat rail for controlling and monitoring trace heating systems.
It consists of the following modules:
- Temperature controller
- current controller
- Safety temperature limiter (STB)
The new UNIPLEX-III-RS now combines the proven UNIPLEX heating control concept in a compact top-hat rail housing. The new housing architecture enables very simple integration directly on the top-hat rail (EN 50022) in the control cabinet. Installation, maintenance or even replacement of this electronic module is made considerably easier.
The temperature controller can be configured with both PI and 2-point behavior. Simultaneous operation is also possible.
An integrated current controller is connected downstream which, in conjunction with an additional electronic load relay (ELR) solid state relay, SSR, allows adaptation to different operating situations.
The current is adapted to the corresponding power requirement using pulse width modulation (PWM) and monitored.
A temperature limiter is used to reliably prevent excess temperatures. This is ATEX-certified for use on heating circuits in potentially explosive atmospheres and meets the SIL2 safety level (safety integrated level). The heating circuit is electrically isolated from the mains using an external power contactor. It can be reset using a tool or by entering a code.
There is a 5-pin rail connector on the underside for power supply, collective alarm signaling and with a serial RS485 interface for coupling to higher-level control systems. Corresponding PC software is available. An Ethernet connection is also available as an option. There is a USB port at the front for diagnostics and updates.
The new UNIPLEX-III-RS on top-hat rail is of course fully compatible with our UNIPLEX III heating controller (19” plug-in card), which has been successfully used on the market for many years.

UNIWIN
The convenient software cockpit for heating controllers
The UNIWIN visualisation software guarantees the clear display and convenient operation of the UNIPLEX III heating controllers and offers access to the current status of the heating circuits within the system. Electrical heating plants that consist of a number of individual electrical heating systems can be configured into logical process-engineering groups using the UNIWIN software. The plant structure can be assigned to these groups. For a perfect overview, all important heating circuit and plant data, the status overview, and a message archive with various sorting and selection functions are always available for access on the computer.
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
