PLEASE NOTE: Effective 2019, we no longer supply Control Techniques variable frequency drives and components. We have drives from several other manufacturers which can meet or exceed the performance characteristics of the Control Techniques line. Simply complete the form below, or contact us with the model of your current or obsolete Control Techniques drive and we’ll be glad to identify a suitable replacement.
Also, the Fincor and Saftronics lines of AC variable frequency drives, DC variable speed drives, and reduced voltage starters were once owned by Emerson but have been obsolete for several years. However, we have many years’ experience working with these drives and can quickly identify replacements capable of exceeding the quality and performance of these older drive technologies. For a suitable replacement, fill out the form below or contact us with your drive or application requirements, and we’ll handle it from there!

SyPTLite WITH LOGICSTICK
Commander SK is Control Techniques’ simple and easy-to-use general-purpose drive. However, Commander SK contains features and functions that you may not expect to find on a low-cost drive, such as the flexibility to program PLC applications onboard the drive. By inserting a LogicStick into the front of the drive, you quickly add memory for program storage that allows you to write a PLC ladder program using SyPTLite. The drive is prioritized to execute all motor control related functions first and will use any remaining processing time to execute the SyPTLite ladder program as a background activity. Commander SK may also be fitted with the SM-I/O Timer option that incorporates a real-time clock, allowing the drive to be used as a low-cost stand alone solution in a wide range of applications such as dosing, lubricating, heating and ventilation.
