Teledyne launches MCX32-TP gas and flame detection controller

Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection recently announced the introduction of its MCX32-TP, a next-generation gas and flame detection controller designed to meet the growing demands of complex industrial safety systems.

Teledyne said its MCX32-TP introduces a new standard in controller design, combining an intuitive touchscreen interface with high channel capacity and industrial-grade reliability.

It is designed for industries such as oil and gas, water and wastewater, and petrochemicals, where detection environments increasingly involve more sensors, distributed assets, and stricter integration requirements.

Flexible, scalable, & future-ready connectivity

Some control systems can struggle to keep pace, particularly when legacy architectures limit expansion, connectivity or ease of use.

The MCX32-TP helps close this gap, offering a flexible and scalable platform available in standard or custom configurations.

Standard models support 4, 16, 32, or 64 channels, while the ability to scale up to 128 channels within the same architecture provides a future-ready system for evolving safety infrastructures.

“The launch of the MCX32-TP reflects the evolving needs of our customers as gas detection systems become larger, more connected and more complex. By combining a modern touchscreen interface with scalable architecture and advanced connectivity, we offer a controller platform that not only replaces legacy systems but also enables users to future-proof their safety infrastructure. The MCX32-TP represents a new benchmark in delivering the flexibility, visibility, and reliability required to manage critical safety systems with confidence.”

Advanced touchscreen, modular I/O options

At the core of the MCX32-TP is an advanced touchscreen HMI, available in sizes from 5 to 15 inches, enabling intuitive system configuration, real-time monitoring, and clear visualization of alarm conditions.

The controller supports a wide range of communication protocols, including Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP and BACnet, as well as industrial internet of things (IIoT) capabilities such as MQTT and web-based remote access. Dual LAN ports, multiple serial interfaces, and modular I/O options enable integration with existing plant infrastructure.

As a comprehensive gas control and alarm system, the MCX32-TP can monitor gas detection sensors and other field devices. Its modular architecture, combined with configurable enclosure options and support for wireless integration, can provide the flexibility required across a broad range of industrial environments.
