New MPXPRO: intelligence at the edge

New MPXPRO: intelligence at the edge for refrigerated units

The refrigeration market is evolving towards systems that are more connected, more flexible and easier to manage throughout their entire lifecycle. In this context, intelligence is increasingly moving closer to the unit, enabling faster decisions, simpler commissioning and more reliable operation.

The new MPXPRO has been designed as an advanced electronic controller that embeds intelligence directly at a device level, supporting a wide range of refrigeration applications—from remote showcases and cold rooms to plug-in units.

 

Intelligence where it matters

New MPXPRO integrates advanced control capabilities directly on the controller, allowing critical functions to be managed locally, without relying on external systems. This distributed approach enables a faster response to real operating conditions, improved system protection, and more stable performance in real-world applications.

Built-in load current sensing provides native monitoring of key components such as evaporator fans, enabling early detection of abnormal conditions and load failures. This information is processed directly by the controller, generating alarms, diagnostics and insights that simplify commissioning, testing and service operations.

 

Designed to simplify the entire life cycle

A consistent user experience across the entire MPX platform, combined with CAREL tools such as SPARK, SPARKLY and the APPLICA app, supports every phase of the product life cycle—from technical office configuration to production line testing and field service—reducing time, errors and operational complexity.

Furthermore, the new MPXPRO is equipped with a USB-C port that allows the controller to be programmed, monitored and diagnosed even when not powered, streamlining installation and pre-commissioning activities.

Flexible by design: controller or electrical panel solution

MPXPRO can be adopted as a stand-alone controller, easily integrated into existing systems thanks to flexible vertical or horizontal connector mounting, or as part of a complete electrical panel solution for cold rooms/cabinets, combined with a wide range of displays, from small to XL sizes.     

When delivered as a complete panel solution, MPXPRO offers additional advantages:

  • simplified installation and wiring

  • improved usability thanks to large, clear HMIs

  • faster commissioning and service operations

  • a fully integrated, ready-to-use solution for OEMs and installers

This flexibility allows customers to choose the configuration that best fits their application and business model.

 

Ready for today, built for what comes next

With support for advanced applications such as flooded evaporators (VLSH), multiplexed hot gas management and scalable software architecture, new MPXPRO is a platform designed to evolve over time, protecting investment while enabling future innovation.

MPXPRO is more than a controller: it is an intelligent node within the refrigeration system, bringing decision-making closer to the unit, simplifying complexity and enabling smarter, more reliable refrigeration installations.
