Commander C300 AC Drives
Enhance throughput with machine safety, communications, and built-in PLC
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.
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

1. Electrical Considerations
• What is the supply voltage?
• Single or 3Ø input power?
• What is the motor rating?
• Continuous current – FLA (Full Load Amps)
• Select the drive based on motor Amps rather than horsepower
2. Load Type (choose one)
• 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
