Flexibility for countless applications<\/h2>\n

Commander C combines efficiency and reliability to offer optimum performance for a wide range of applications. With many essential features built in, including PLC capabilities for simple programming needs, dual STO safety function, braking transistor and PID control, it provides a compact solution for any installation.<\/p>\n

The ultimate all-in-one drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Adaptable to your application<\/strong>
\nWhether you have a single application or a variety of different ones, Commander C fits right in. With all essential features built-in, it’s ready to go right out of the box.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Integrated functional safety<\/strong>
\nThe Dual Safe Torque Off (STO) feature, certified to the highest level of machine safety, SIL3\/PLe, and compliant to EN\/IEC 61800-5-2, prevents the motor from moving unexpectedly, protecting both equipment and operators.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
On-board PLC<\/strong>
\nThe generous 30kB user space allows for add-on programmable functions, more elaborate I\/O features and special software that enables greater machine control. The on-board PLC also eliminates the need for an external controller, saving both on cost and space.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"\u00a0Compact design
\n<\/strong>Commander C is one of the most compact drives within its category, taking little space in the cabinet and minimizing installation cost.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0Super quick start-up
\n<\/strong>To get started you only need to set-up 4 parameters (motor rated current, RPM, voltage and power) and for your convenience we’ve listed them on the front cover of the drive.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Flexible connectivity
\n<\/strong>The plug in communication modules enable integration with the most common industrial fieldbuses.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"\u00a0Worldwide availability and outstanding service
\n<\/strong>Need expert advice and support? Wherever you are in the world we’ve got you covered via our sales offices or Control Techniques approved distributors.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Whatever your application, Commander C is the perfect solution across industries<\/h2>\n

The Commander C series are simple and compact AC motor speed controllers that meet advanced requirements in a wide range of applications. Their small footprint \u2013 among the smallest in their class \u2013 makes them ideal for machine builders and OEMs, where size really matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
