SE 43401100 - SE 16T - Drive - CONTROL TECHNIQUES

Since its formation in 1973, Control Techniques has become a global specialist dedicated to the design, manufacture and supply of AC and DC drives, servos and drive systems, with over 1 million drives commissioned to date. This dedication to understanding and satisfying customers needs ensures that we produce a range of world class products all designed to meet the varying application requirements of industry. In response to customer driven priorities for a simple, easy to use, general purpose open loop inverter, Control Techniques have developed the Commander SE.

The Commander SE is an advanced AC drive for use with AC induction motors. Every unit can operate in either V/Hz, or sensorless vector mode.

There are four physical sizes comprising 21 different models. The input voltage ranges are single phase input, 200 to 240V, three phase input, 200 to 240V, three phase input 380 to 480V and are power dependent.

Reducing complexity and cost is what Commander SE is all about. The SE stands for Simple and Easy and it is SIMPLE to install and EASY to use. The drives first 10 parameters cover most applications easily, quickly and cost effectively

Many of the features of Commander SE would not be possible without the use of advanced technology. The SE drive employs State of the Art microprocessor technology which controls all drive functions. The drive incorporates 2 microprocessors, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which synthesises an adjustable carrier frequency PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output controlling the IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) inverter section and a microcontroller which handles the user interface functions. All printed circuit boards are manufactured using surface mount technology.

● Minimum motor noise with maximum drive protection via unique Intelligent Thermal Management (ITM)

● RS485 serial communications as standard on all sizes

● Complies with power drive systems standard EN 61800-3 for the second environment 'Industrial sites' without an additional EMC filter.

● Small enough to fit - big enough to use

● Plug-in communication packages that will include, Profibus-DP, DeviceNet, CAN Open, Interbus S and CT Net

● The mains dip ride-through feature gives maximum protection against expensive process stoppages and minimises product wastage, breakages and downtime

● Level 2 parameters easily accessible if added flexibility and functionality are required

● Commander SE's level 3 parameters give the user, via serial communications, access to advanced features such as: PID Controller, kW hour meter, 8 preset speeds, motorised potentiometer, second motor map and lots more

● With true space vector modulation - open loop

vector control, full torque down to 1 Hz
