Commander Module | HMI & Programmer for FC36M / FC36MV range

Description Commander Module – Direct Comms HMI for FC36M / FC36MV The Commander Module (CM-FC36M/MV) is a compact, user-friendly Human Machine Interface designed for direct communication with FC36M and FC36MV three-phase firing circuits. Featuring an intuitive keypad and back-lit LCD display, it enables quick programming, monitoring, and adjustment of all functional parameters with precision and clarity. Connection is made via a standard RJ45 lead, allowing fast and reliable communication without complex wiring. The module can be used as a portable handheld programmer or permanently panel-mounted, making it ideal for panel builders, commissioning engineers, and maintenance teams working with FC36 firing boards. With tamper-proof PIN protection, IP65 front protection, and the ability to copy parameters between units, the Commander Module simplifies setup while improving operational control across industrial power assemblies.
