Upgrade Commander SK to Commander C

Commander C200 - C300 enhancements over Commander SK

General Purpose Variable Speed Drives Commander C200 and C300 deliver a range of performance, hardware, programming and software innovations over Commander SK.

Differences to note:
  • Commander C200 requires a AI-485-ADAPTOR for Modbus RTU communications, order separately.
  • The Commander SK when fitted with an SM-I/O option could support 2 or more analog outputs. The Commander C200 is limited to 1 analog output. For applications requiring 2 analog outputs the Unidrive M400 is the recommended replacement.

Upgrade to Commander C AC motor controller

  • Compatibility
    Mechanical
    • Compatible physical dimensions, weights and surface mount footprint
