Commander SK is simple to use, compact and
offers great value. It has excellent open loop
performance, optional onboard PLC functionality
and click-in modules for I/O, Ethernet and Fieldbus
communications. Commander SK allows you to do
much more than you would ever expect with a general
purpose drive.
Applications
Commander SK is ideal for a wide range of applications,
including:
• Machinery automation
• Pumps
• Fans
• Conveying
• Mixing
• Chemical dosing
• Centrifuges
• Door and barrier opening systems
• Food and beverage applications
In these applications energy efficiency and productivity
improvements often result in a rapid return on project
investments.
Benefits
• Ultra-compact modules, resulting from advanced
thermal design, state-of-the-art power technologies
and the use of advanced plastic materials
• Optimised for both heavy duty and fan and pump
applications
• Can be easily integrated within an automation system
using Control Techniques' click-in fieldbus option
modules including Profibus, DeviceNet and CanOpen
• Ethernet connectivity allows global drive access for
monitoring, configuring and troubleshooting
• Optional SmartStick allows the drive configuration to
be stored and replicated; ideal as a parameter back-up
and for mass/batch production application
• Optional LogicStick adds program memory for onboard
PLC functionality, adding intelligence to the drive. This
can remove the need for external PLCs and reduces size
and costs
• Easy to use remote mountable keypad with IP66
protection
• Operation with global power supplies – 100V, 200V,
400V, 575V and 690V
• The built in EMC filter is suitable for most applications
and can be easily switched in or out of circuit. When
more arduous EMC standards must be met, such as for
residential environments, compact footprint mounting
filters are available
• The drive has an RS485 serial port as standard and is
supplied with software and documentation CD for easy
configuration and monitoring
• Low power drives (≤1.5kW) may be mounted on
DIN rail for quick and easy installation
• The drive has an integrated keypad with all the
parameters you need for typical applications printed on
the front of the drive
• Worldwide product expertise and support
• Worldwide certifications including CE and cULus
• Automatic no-spin autotune for rapid
performance optimisation
• 8 preset speeds available for greater
application flexibility
• Keypad access to all parameters – basic and
advanced menus
• Open loop vector control. Speed or Torque control
• Speed reference input: 0-10V, 0-20mA, 4-20mA (-10V
to +10V SM-I/O Lite option)
• Switching frequency from 3kHz up to 18kHz -
quiet motor operation
• Output frequency from 0 to 1500 Hz
• Linear and S type acceleration and deceleration ramps
• Modbus RTU RS485 via RJ45 connector as standard
• DC injection braking as standard
• Dynamic braking transistor as standard
• Energy savings with dynamic motor flux V/Hz
• Fan and pump energy optimisation with quadratic
motor flux V/Hz
• Advanced standard software features, such as timers,
thresholds, maths blocks, logic operators, PID controller
and kW/h meter
Environmental safety and electrical conformance
• IP20
• UL Type 1 kit and cover kit options up to size D
• Ambient temperature -10°C to 40°C
• Electromagnetic Immunity complies with EN61800-3,
EN61000-6-1 and EN61000-6-2
• Humidity 95% maximum (non-condensing)
• Electromagnetic Emissions complies with EN61800-
3 (second environment) as standard. Complies with
EN61000-6-3 (residential) and EN61000-6-4 (industrial)
generic standards with optional footprint EMC filter
