Commander SE
Simple and Easy
Overview
Control Techniques’ economical microdrive is an AC
open loop vector powerhouse, combining unmatched
flexibility with a small footprint. Best of all, the
Commander SE is simple to use and easy to install.
The Commander SE’s first 10 parameters meet the
needs of 80% of drive applications, making setup fast
and effortless. Installation requires only a standard
screwdriver, while the removable control terminal strip
makes changeover quick and error free.
The rugged and robust design has been field tested
in harsh environments and proven itself a dependable
drive for a wide range of applications. The Commander
SE, with its Intelligent Thermal Management (ITM)
technology, was designed with reliability in mind. Rated
at 50°C ambient temperature, the Commander SE
withstands the most severe operating conditions.

Overview
This simple and easy drive also provides flexibility
with easy to install options. Drive set-up is quick and
convenient using our remote keypad or SESoft, our
Windows based configuration tool. The SE QuicKey
allows parameter cloning for fast parameter storage and
transfer, making it easy to add or replace drives within
your system. The Commander SE easily connects into
your network with a wide range of fieldbus protocols
and operator interface options.

Input / Output Modules
Bi-polar Analog Input Card (SE51)
The bi-polar speed reference input card (SE51) allows
the direction of a motor to be controlled via a speed
potentiometer or external bi-polar speed reference
rather than the forward/reverse terminal selector.
The +10V potentiometer reference can be supplied
from the drive (term. #3) or from an external power
supply. The –10V potentiometer reference must be
supplied from an external supply. The SE51 also has
a relay that is controlled by the digital output (default
“zero speed”) of the drive.
Communications
Communication Cards
(SE73, SE74, SE77DN, SE77CO)
Each fieldbus interface
for the Commander SE
is a single option card
that fits within the
drive. Parameter data is
transferred to and from
the Commander SE using
a 2-wire RS485 link into
the RJ45 serial communications port on the drive.
Memory
QuicKey / Cloning Module (SE55)
The QuicKey is a small, encapsulated
memory module that stores the entire
set of the drive’s parameter values. It
plugs onto the SE drive near the control
terminals. The Commander SE may be
programmed to download / upload a set of parameters
to / from the QuicKey or to operate with or without the
module installed. Once the information is stored in the
QuicKey, it may be removed from the drive for future
use such as cloning other drives or programming a
replacement drive.

PC to Drive Accessories
Drive Configuration Tool (SESoft)
SESoft is a complimentary Windows based drive
configuration tool designed to enable the complete
control and display of all parameters within a
Commander SE. A set-up wizard guides the user in
entering motor and application data. Motor data may
be supplied from the motor nameplate, or the user
may select a motor from the database supplied in the
wizard. A monitoring screen displays real-time drive
values such as current, voltage and DC bus level. SESoft
communicates via the computer’s serial port and the
Commander SE’s RJ45 port using the CT Comms Cable.
For more information, refer to the Accessories
Section on page 138.
Programming / Configuration Cable
Using a special RS232 to RS485 converter you can connect
the PC to the RJ45 serial port on the front of the drive. A
special pre-made cable is available from Control Techniques
for this purpose – this same cable is used with other Control
Techniques – products that use a RJ45 RS485 connector such
as the Unidrive SP.

Operator Interfaces
Universal Keypad (CTKP)
The CTKP Universal Keypad
is an ideal maintenance tool for
use with CT’s digital drives (SE,
Unidrive, Mentor II, Quantum III)
and option modules (UD7X, MD
series). Five navigation keys and
plain text parameter descriptions
make the CTKP easy to use for viewing and modifying
drive data. The keypad is designed for hand–held or
panel mounting. The IP65 rating, screw-down terminals
and stress relief for cable connections assure a rugged
and robust design.
An RS485 cable with an RJ45 connector on the
Commander SE end and dressed wires on
the CTKP end is available (order Catalog Number
CTKP-SE-485-XXX). (XXX=ft.)
For more information, refer to the Accessories
Section on page 154.
Operator Interface Unit
(CTIU)
The CTIU operator interface units incorporate
a back-lit LCD display and easy-to-use navigation
keys. Using the “WYSIWIG” page editor, they can
be programmed to display a variety of menus,
submenus, alarms, fault conditions and other critical
information. The CTIUs support a range of capabilities
including multiple font sizes, real time trends and
graphs, scheduling and background programs. They
communicate via 2 or 4-wire RS485 and, to simplify
installation, CTIUs are rated NEMA 4/12 and require no
screw mounting holes.
An RS485 cable with an RJ45 connector on the
Commander SE end and dressed wires on
the CTIU end is available (order Catalog Number
CTIU-CTD-485-XXX). (XXX=ft.)
For more information, refer to the Accessories
Section on pages 152-153.
Accessories
Cable Shield Clamps
The cable shield
clamps are used with
the Commander SE
to stabilize wire / cable
connections when
mounting a drive inside
an enclosure. The
clamps attach to the
bottom of the Commander
SE drive and provide a convenient shielded ground
connection.
Warranty
Extended Warranty
An industry-leading two-year warranty is standard
for Commander SE drives. An extended warranty is
available that increases the warranty period to five years.
