Technical Description: Nidec Control Techniques C200-01200042
The C200-01200042 is a robust and compact AC variable speed drive from the Commander C200 series by Nidec Control Techniques. Specifically designed for 200V class applications, this Frame 1 drive delivers a rated output of 0.75kW (1.0HP) with a continuous output current of 4.2A. The Commander C series is engineered to be the successor to the legendary Commander SK, offering enhanced performance, integrated safety, and an onboard PLC for localized logic control.
Precision Motor Control and Integrated Safety
The C200-01200042 features advanced RFC (Rotor Flux Control) mode, which ensures stable speed and torque regulation even under fluctuating loads. This makes it ideal for conveyors, fans, pumps, and mixers. A standout feature of this model is the integrated Dual Safe Torque Off (STO) inputs, which meet SIL3/PLe standards. This significantly reduces the cost and complexity of the machine’s safety system by eliminating the need for external safety contactors while ensuring the motor cannot produce torque in an emergency.
