The Commander C200 delivers benchmark functionality at no added cost to the base drive itself. Plug-in options, dynamic performance, PLC functionality and other advanced features such as fieldbus, Ethernet, and Modbus RTU communications ensure that in more complex applications Commander C200 can deliver more than the average general purpose drive – giving you lower cost solutions and better productivity in your motor control applications.

  • Simple and Compact: The C200 is designed to be small and easy to install, making it ideal for applications where space is limited.
  • Ease of Use: These drives are known for their simple setup and commissioning. They typically have a basic keypad interface and straightforward documentation.
  • Open Loop Vector Control (RFC-A): The C200 features advanced Rotor Flux Control (RFC-A) for excellent open-loop control of induction motors. This provides good performance without the need for feedback devices.
  • Cost-Effective: The C200 is designed to be a highly cost-effective solution for general-purpose applications.
  • Flexible Communication: The C200 offers various communication options through optional SI modules, including Ethernet, Modbus TCP, and various fieldbus interfaces. This facilitates seamless integration with automation systems.
  • Onboard PLC: The C200 has an integrated PLC for basic logic control, reducing the need for external controllers in some applications.

Enhance up-time and system flexibility

  • Flexible system integration and remote diagnostics through optional industrial
    Ethernet and fieldbus communication
  • Flexible I/O expandable with SI-I/O option module
  • Enhanced functionality and onboard PLC programming provide a low-cost system
    solution, minimizing the need for additional equipment such as PLCs

Maximum machine productivity with exceptional open-loop motor control

  • RFC-A (Rotor Flux Control) algorithm for high performance induction motor control
    of demanding applications
  • Closed loop current control without a position feedback device
  • Speed control for conveyors, fans, pumps, and mixers, where their function is
    controlled remotely with fieldbus or Ethernet communications
