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
