Control Techniques SKD3400750 7.5kW 16.5A Commander SK Inverter

The Commander SK SKD3400750 is a 7.5kW, 10HP, 16.5A Three Phase 380-480V AC  drive manufactured by Control Techniques. Like all members of the Commander SK range, the Control Techniques SKD3400750 is incredibly easy to set-up, configure and install. Fortunately simplicity does not come at the expense of features and with onboard intelligence, I/O, Ethernet and Fieldbus communications options. Commander SK allows you to do far more than you would expect from a standard open loop 7.5kW AC inverter drive. With years of experience working on Control Techniques products, AFi Systems are able to provide pre and post technical support as well as a large array of option modules.

Performance and Reliability

Control Techniques has built its reputation for manufacturing quality, high performance AC variable frequency drives with industry-leading warranties and the SKD3400750 is no different. The Commander SK offers unique performance and functionality for a general purpose variable frequency drive, while delivering greater ef?ciency and energy savings. The Commander SK possesses advanced features like PID controller, output frequency up to 1500 Hz, brake control function, threshold detectors, variable selector, motorised pot, logic functions, time delay, and second motor map. Add the LogicStick for PLC functionality to the SKD3400750, plug in a Fieldbus or I/O Solution Module and you have a high-value, low cost 7.5kW drive with the power to perform.

Setting Up Your Commander SK

Setting up the SKD3400750 is simple thanks to the innovative CTSoft drive configuration tool, which is included free of charge with any new Commander SK. CTSoft is for the commissioning, optimising and monitoring of Control Techniques drives. This software enables the user to:

• Commission the inverter using the configuration wizards
• Read, save and load drive configuration settings
• Remotely control the drive with simulated run, stop, reverse and jog push buttons
• Visualise and modify the configuration with live animated diagrams

Accessories & Option Modules for Commander SK Inverters

The SKD3400750 has a wealth of plug-in option modules designed to expand the functionality of the Commander SK AC drive. These include keypads, storage, communications modules, input/output modules and automation options.

Keypads and Storage

• SK-Keypad - This is a panel mounting LED display and keypad with a high IP65 rating
• SM-Keypad Plus - Plain text, multi-language LCD keypad
• HMI Panels - A range of fully configurable LCD touch screen display
• SmartStick - Inserting the SmartStick into the front facia of the drive enables parameters to be copied from one drive to another. This is especially useful for replacing a configuration across multiple drives

Automation

• LogicStick - Inserting the LogicStick into the front facia of the drive adds the required memory storage for use of the onboard PLC features. This is an advantage in applications where traditionally a small external PLC would normally be used

Communication Options

• SM-CANopen - The CANopen interface supports various profiles including several drive profiles
• SM-Profinet - Profinet is an Ethernet based industrial network protocol adapting Ethernet hardware and protocols
• SM-DeviceNet - DeviceNet option module
• SM-Profibus-DP - Slave/follower option module
• SM-EtherCAT - Slave/follower option module for high performance servo applications
• SM-LON - LonWorks interface for building automation applications
