VIRTUAL DEMO TOOL The Commander C Virtual Demo Tool provides a safe and accessible first experience with Commander C variable speed drives and allows you to get familiar with its keypad and menu structure. This digital replica of a Commander C drive, motor and control allows you to use the virtual keypad to set-up the drive parameters for commissioning just like in a real situation. Once the key parameters have been set, the drive can be enabled and the motor shaft will spin. To see just how easy it is to set-up the drive, visit: www.controltechniques.com/vitual-demo-tool Drive Enable...
