Leading the way in putting you in charge of motor control and making your processes more efficient is the latest addition to the Nidec Control Techniques motor drive portfolio. With a comprehensive feature set optimised for simple motion cycles the Commander S Drive range provides a cost-effective solution for drive applications that require plug and play convenience straight from the box.
The Commander S drive is the first drive to come with a built-in Near Field Communication (NFC) App interface as standard. The Marshal app (which is downloadable for free on a mobile device for Android/OS) is a revolutionary way to communicate wirelessly with a motor drive using NFC, covering commissioning, monitoring, diagnostic and support. The NFC technology utilised in these versatile drives has a communication time of less than 0.5s, helping to speed up and simplify your set-up times considerably.
Sleek Design Simple Operation
The sleek curved design and small footprint of the Commander S range optimises component layout and with easy access to angled terminals and the click-on/click-off DIN rail mount make installation remarkably easy. With a wide range of power, voltage, mains filter options and frame sizes available to choose from you are certain to find a model to suit your application and using the Marshall App you can be up and running in under 60 seconds.
As you might expect from Control Techniques, the performance of the Commander S range is guaranteed throughout its whole lifetime and is packed with features to help save you time, space, energy and money.
