Innovative Drive Solutions for the 21st Century
Consider It Solved.™
A History of Innovation
More than just a slogan, “Consider it solved” is the Emerson
promise to meet or exceed customer expectations. To that
end, Control Techniques strives for continual improvement
in motor control technology by integrating over 30 years of
field-proven experience with the very latest technologies
and engineering tools to deliver cost effective solutions that
increase productivity and reduce energy consumption.
Control Techniques, an Emerson Industrial Automation
company, is a world leader in the design and manufacture
of highly reliable drive and motion control products. Since
launching the world’s first digital DC drive over 30 years
ago, Control Techniques has consistently raised the bar
for programmable motor control. It also introduced the
first fully-integrated, easy-to-program servo drive, the first
universal AC and Servo drive (the ground-breaking Unidrive),
and was among the first to offer an AC flux vector drive.
Powered by Service
Control Techniques’ commitment to customer satisfaction
is evident in our global support network. In addition to
dedicated service centers in Grand Island, New York and
Eden Prairie, Minnesota and over 50 drive application and
engineering centers worldwide, more than 800 North
American distributor and system integrator locations are
available to provide fast and effective local service and
support regardless of the application’s location.
Today, Control Techniques offers a comprehensive line of
AC, DC and Servo drives that deliver reliable, energy-efficient
operation, superior motor performance, unmatched system
integration flexibility and scalable on-board processing
power.
The Control Techniques Advantage
Any motor. Control Techniques general-purpose, highperformance and motion control drives deliver exceptional
control of virtually any type of motor and feedback device.
Any network. Control Techniques drives use Ethernet,
Modbus, EtherCAT, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Profibus and
many other popular industrial fieldbuses to interface with
virtually any fieldbus network.
Any architecture. Control Techniques’ innovative modular
mechanical designs allow control systems to easily grow
and expand as application requirements change over time.
Whether installed in distributed, centralized or hybrid control
architectures, our drive-based co-processors distribute the
control workload and provide multiple redundant masters to
maximize uptime, eliminate the cost of small PLCs and reduce
wiring and installation time.
Any programmer. From simple commissioning to advanced
motion control programming, Control Techniques’ suite of
FREE user-friendly, time-saving software tools guide the user
through the configuration process and allow the drive to be
easily customized at the point of installation.

To enhance the functionality and
connectivity of Control Techniques
drives, snap-in communications,
I/O, feedback and motion control
SM option modules provide “plugand-play” scalability.

Innovative, Intelligent Drive Technology
Control Techniques offers a full line of drives ranging from
fractional to 2,900hp and 120 to 690 Volts. These versatile
drives provide scalable communications protocols and
PLC intelligence using SM option module technology,
an innovative modular approach to system design and
integration.
These drives deliver exceptional control and the ability
to interface with virtually any fieldbus network creating
high-speed drive-to-drive networks optimized for peak
performance and low cost.
Control Techniques’ simple, flexible product
lines make choosing the right drive very
easy. For more demanding solutions,
engineers in our network of Drive
and local Application Centers are
available to discuss your needs
and provide advice.
