Nidec Control Techniques Commander C VFD

The Commander C VFD series by Control Techniques combines efficiency and reliability to offer optimum performance for a wide range of industrial 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 motor drive solution for any installation.

The Ultimate All-in-One Commander C VFD

• Adaptable to your application: Whether 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.
• Integrated functional safety: The Dual Safe Torque Off (STO) feature, certified to the highest level of machine safety, SIL3/PLe, prevents the motor from moving unexpectedly, protecting both equipment and operators.
• On-board PLC: The generous 30kB user space allows for add-on programmable functions. The on-board PLC also eliminates the need for an external controller, saving both on cost and space.
• Compact design: Commander C VFD is one of the most compact VFDs within its category, taking little space in the control cabinet and minimizing installation costs.
• Super quick start-up: To get started you only need to set up 4 parameters (motor rated current, RPM, voltage, and power).
• Flexible connectivity: Plug-in communication modules enable integration with the most common industrial fieldbuses.

Commander C VFD Industrial Applications

The Commander C VFD series are simple and compact AC motor speed controllers that meet advanced requirements across industries. Their small footprint makes them ideal for machine builders and OEMs in Saudi Arabia and worldwide.

1. Pumping, Ventilating & Compressing

• Improved energy efficiency during periods of low demand.
• On-board PLC & PID functionalities make advanced control easy and efficient without the need for an external controller.
• Skip Frequencies allow users to easily avoid equipment resonant frequencies, reducing high vibration levels.
• Supply Loss Ride Through will keep the drive up and running through most power outages.

2. Conveying

• Accurate remote speed control with fieldbus communications.
• S-ramp acceleration / deceleration profiling provides smooth speed transitions minimizing machine jerk.
• Overload capacity up to 180% to add stability and avoid early wear and tear of the equipment.

3. Lifting, Hoisting & Winching
