No registration. No extra cost. Just peace of mind from day one. Learn more.
Flexibility for countless applications
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.
Excellence in motor control
The ultimate all-in-one drive
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, and compliant to EN/IEC 61800-5-2, 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, 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.
Compact design
Commander C is one of the most compact drives within its category, taking little space in the cabinet and minimizing installation cost.
Super quick start-up
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.
Flexible connectivity
The plug in communication modules enable integration with the most common industrial fieldbuses.
Worldwide availability and outstanding service
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.
Whatever your application, Commander C is the perfect solution across industries
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 – among the smallest in their class – makes them ideal for machine builders and OEMs, where size really matters.
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 of 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
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
Avoids early wear and tear of the equipment
Lifting, hoisting & winching
Adjustable mechanical brake sequencing with torque proving function – no need for an external controller
Embedded PLC functionality can manage local I/O reducing the need for an external controller
Access control
Smooth motion with enhanced open loop control
Small physical size allows the drive to be mounted easily in smaller control cabinets
Highly reliable in harsh environments, providing long lasting service
Processing (mixers, kneaders, crushers, agitators, centrifuges, extruders)
Ease of integration to external PLC or other management systems through powerful networking options
Conformal coating for enhanced environmental protection
Overload capacity up to 180%
Highly stable motor control
