Commander S
Making Simple Applications Simple.
Take charge of motor control and energy savings with the latest addition to the Control Techniques portfolio. With a feature set optimised for simple applications, Commander S provides a cost-effective solution for installations that require plug and play convenience straight from the box.
Commander S is the first drive to come with an app interface as a standard feature. The Marshal app is our revolutionary way to interface with the drive covering commissioning, monitoring, diagnostics and support.
The sleek curved design of Commander S optimises component layout for a small footprint and easy access to terminals. The click-on/click-off DIN rail mount makes installation remarkably easy.
Using the new Marshal app (Android/iOS) your drive can be configured in under 60 seconds.
Durability is at the core of Commander S design, guaranteeing performance throughout its whole lifetime.
Fan, pump, compressor applications
- Improved energy efficiency during periods of low demand
- PID functionality makes advanced control easy and efficient without the need of an external controller
- Easily avoid equipment resonant frequencies and reduce high vibration levels using the skip frequency
- Catch an already spinning motor to reduce start-up time and increase productivity
- Motor thermal protection prevents overheating of the motor during operation
- Fire mode maximises availability of a building's smoke extraction system in the event of a fire. Once activated the drive will run until failure
Conveyors, Treadmills, Automatic Doors & Barriers
- Reliable speed control with onboard communications
- S-ramp acceleration / deceleration profiling provides smooth speed transitions minimising machine jerk
- Linear V to F with a controllable boost to get the machine running
- Drive overload capacity up to 150% for rapid acceleration or load changes
- DC braking with stop indication used to stop the motor quickly
Mixers, Crushers, Agitators, Centrifuges, Kneaders, Spinning & Braiding Machines for Textiles
- Ease of integration to external PLC or other management systems with on board communications
- Stability optimiser for improved motor control
- Resistance compensation for excellent torque performance
- Built-in EMC filter effectively reduces electromagnetic interference
