DPS Group today reveals that we are the first company in Scotland to have received stock of Control Techniques’ new Commander drive.
The new Commander series comprises two variants that replace the Control Techniques Unidrive M200 and M300 General Purpose drives. Their small footprint – among the smallest in their class – makes Commander ideal for machine builders and OEMs, where size really matters.
Commander C200 meets the needs of a broad range of general applications, and includes features designed to make setup and installation as straightforward as possible.
Commander C300 has the same features and functionality as the C200 but includes a dual Safe Torque Off (STO) input for applications requiring enhanced safety.
The Commander 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.
Both models also include powerful functionality, designed with usability in mind. An on-board PLC, for example, provides embedded intelligence which removes the need for an external controller, saving on both cost and space when installing Commander drives into a system or cabinet.
Commander’s wide power range, from 0.25kW to 132kW, also makes it the perfect solution for both lower power and high-power applications.
Additionally, in more complex applications, Commander benefits from compatibility with Control Techniques’ extensive range of plug-in option modules, expanding functionality and capability across a wide range of well-known fieldbuses.
Andy Green, Business Development Manager with Control Techniques commented: “I’m really impressed with the progress DPS Group are making in the Scottish market.
“Working in a diverse range of industries from good, paper, building products, test automation and textiles they certainly command respect from their customers for the applications knowledge and support provided.”
At present there are over 30 Nidec drives being assembled in DPS Group’s workshop for different projects ranging between 1.5kw and 75kw, totalling over half a megawatt.
We are presently working on a couple of major projects building the new drives. One is for a glass fibre manufacturer for industrial fans; another for one of the UK’s biggest food manufacturing brands.
