The Commander enables remote maintenance and remote control of networked temperature control systems in the spirit of complete temperature and data monitoring (e.g. as per HACCP). Up to 32 controllers can be connected to the Commander via the ST-Bus and thus be controlled and configured using the touchscreen.

In addition to the ST-Studio software solution, the controller can  also be accessed via Internet. This means that parameter changes, together with alarm and error messages, can be managed from anywhere.

The tasks of the Commander also include complete temperature recording (HACCP-compliant). The Commander records from the very minute it is commissioned.

The user-friendly interface and the self-explanatory, intuitive operation eliminate intensive training. Already with just a few cooling and heat points, you save time since the settings do no longer have to be made no longer on each controller. The Commander can be connected to Internet or a corporate network via integrated Ethernet interface.

You can use the ECO key to define different energy saving functions which  optimize the specified weekly program. The individual program settings can be defined for individual controllers or controller groups. Benefit: The weekly timer does not have to be reprogrammed or changed, since ECO mode works independently.

The Commander's alarm function is already activated in standard mode. The alarms can be individually adjusted with additional configuration options: Collective alarm, over-temperature, under-temperature, bundle messages and much more. Email message or a signal tone – everything is possible.

Different access rights can be assigned to e.g. end users, service technicians and manufacturers with selectable user levels. In addition to user levels and roles, you can also allocate customer-specific functions such as "nominal value visible/invisible/changeable".

With the freely programmable weekly timer, you can program individual switching programs, such as defrosting, night lowering, lighting or cleaning cycles. This makes it possible to reduce peak outputs, e.g. with staggered defrosting, night-time increase or cleaning cycles. Controllers can also be configured and named individually.

The "Cloud Connect" function of the Commander establishes the connection to the ST Cloud. All you need is a network connection with access to the Internet.

Once the Commander has logged on to the ST Cloud, the full range of functions can be accessed from any Internet-enabled device such as a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
