Multi-channel temperature control system sysTEMP NEXT
Modular, intelligent and open
The modular multi-channel temperature control system sysTEMP NEXT is the consistent further development of the multi-channel temperature controller sysTEMP, which is used in many thousands of temperature treatment applications worldwide.
The fast processing speed of the processors used, the high resolution of the signals and the features, which are based on decades of experience, are arguments in favour of this independent, powerful control system.
sysTEMP NEXT consists of a controller module including a field bus coupler and can be expanded with various I/O modules in a modular and cost-effective way to up to 64 control zones. In addition, sysTEMP NEXT can also be expanded to include standard I/Os.
The modules of the sysTEMP NEXT control system are simply plugged together without tools, are thus cross-wired and supplied with power via the controller module. The controller is the heart of the system and also connects the system to established field bus systems. In addition to Profinet, EtherCAT and other Ethernet topologies, classic field buses such as Profibus-DP, CANopen and Modbus are also supported.

Features im Detail
- The combination of the assemblies enables customised multi-zone temperature control systems
- Thanks to the modular system design, control systems with up to 64 control zones are scalable.
- Easy expandability
- With the adaptive control parameter adjustment, the system covers a wide range of applications from extremely fast to extremely slow control zones.
- Simple, safe and fast commissioning – the inputs and outputs of the individual components are automatically assigned without the need for project planning.
- Colour coding and labelling of all terminals for safe installation
- Access to the full range of functions without the need for programming.
- The desired functionality of each zone can be set via the system’s parameterisation.
- The clear web interface offers extremely fast setting options without additional software.
- The flexotempMANAGER engineering tool is a powerful tool for controller and system configuration and combines controller operation and monitoring.
- Convenient operation and monitoring of all control zones via the T7 touchscreen operating unit (optional)
- The USB port can be used for parameter data backup and module updates.
- Extremely easy to service – quick replacement of modules without special tools
- Comprehensive communication options – the numerous data interfaces connect the controller to established field bus systems.
- Extremely compact dimensions
- Retrofitting of existing sysTEMP control systems (ETR 132, ETR 112) is possible due to the extensive compatibility.
