COMMANDER C300
ENHANCED THROUGHPUT
WITH MACHINE SAFETY
Control Techniques has set the standards in motor control since 1973.

The Commander C300 provides flexible integration with safety and

communications. Commander C300 is ideal for applications that require cost-
effective integration into safety systems. With two Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs,
onboard PLC and an SI interface for industry standard fieldbuses, Ethernet
or extended I/O options, this feature set ensures Commander C300’s flexible
integration with any system.

Other Commander C300 benefits include:

Enhance up-time and system flexibility
• Flexible system integration and remote diagnostics through optional industrial Ethernet
and fieldbus communication
• Flexible I/O that is expandable with SI-I/O option module
• Enhanced functionality and onboard PLC programming provides a low-cost system
solution, minimizing the need for additional equipment such as PLCs
High performance open loop motor control
• RFC-A (Rotor Flux Control) algorithm for exceptional 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
Communications
• Snap-in SI-Modules for industry standard fieldbus, Ethernet or extended I/O options
Two Safe Torque Off (STO) Inputs
Built-in PLC

Heavy Duty Ratings: 0.33 HP to 150 HP (0.25 kW to 110 kW) How to select a drive
Normal Duty Ratings: 0.33 HP to 200 HP (0.25 kW to 132 kW) (Consult online catalog for complete drive information)
Supply phases: Frame size 1 and 2: 115 V drives 1Ø, 1. Electrical Considerations
230 V drives 1Ø or 3Ø; Frame size 7 and
larger 3Ø; 460, 575 and 690 V drives 3Ø • What is the supply voltage?
Control connections: 3x Analog I/O, 5x Digital I/O, 2x STO, 1x • Single or 3Ø input power?
Relay • What is the motor rating?
• Continuous current – FLA (Full Load Amps)
Drive rating: IP21 / UL open class as standard
• Select the drive based on motor Amps rather than horsepower
Keypad: Fixed LED
Option slots: 1 (frame size 2 and above) 2. Load Type (choose one)
Parameter cloning via: PC tools, SD card • Normal Duty: Peak current is 110% of drive rating (fans, pumps, etc.)
• Heavy Duty: Peak current is 180% (mixers, conveyors, etc.)

3. Drive Mechanical Mounting

• Panel mounting – as standard
Visit www.Drive-Setup.com • Wall mounting – UL conduit kits are available
for step-by-step guides, • Through panel mounting – frames 5 and up
