Control Techniques, part of the Nidec group of companies, is launching a new member to the Commander family of drives and a revolutionary app named Marshal.

Commander S provides a solution for applications that require plug-and-play control convenience straight from the box.

It’s easy to install, easy to use, cost effective and reliable. The company offers a free 5 year warranty and a conformal coating process protects the drive against moisture, corrosion, and dust. To help reduce overall costs for the user, several essential features are built-in the drive, such as intelligent fan control, onboard Modbus RTU and integrated C1 EMC filter.

Commander S is available in 3 frame sizes with a power range of 0.18 kW to 4 kW (0.25 to 5 hp) and meets the energy efficiency requirements set by the EU Ecodesign regulation. Moreover, Commander S is the first drive to come with an app interface as a standard feature at no extra cost: Marshal revolutionises how the user interfaces with the drive covering commissioning, monitoring, diagnostics and support.

Available for Android and iOS, it enables drive set-up in only 60 seconds using NFC technology, along with providing simple set-up routines tailored to different applications. The FastStart menu provides assisted commissioning, and only four key settings are needed to get the motor running.

Marshal allows power on/off commissioning even when the drive is still in the box, but also cloning and diagnostics (even when the drive is powered off). The user also can easily share wiring diagrams and drive configurations as a PDF file via email or WhatsApp or other messenger app.
