ABB ACS380-040C-03A3-4+K495 Machinery Drive - PROFIsafe over PROFINET

Integrated safety features with PROFIsafe over PROFINET allow the ACS380 to function as an active part of a machine safety system, enabling safe stop when required and coordinated control with PLCs. This reduces operator risk and minimizes unplanned downtime on conveyors, mixers, EOT cranes, extruders, and textile lines. The built-in safety features help meet common machinery safety requirements when paired with a safety PLC, delivering a robust safety architecture without external add-ons. The ACS380's safety integration also supports straightforward diagnostics and quick fault isolation, speeding corrective actions during routine maintenance. High-precision motor control with 1.1 kW output and 3.3 A current delivers smooth starts, accurate speed control, and consistent torque across loads. This translates into improved product quality for mixers, extruders, conveyors, and textile machinery, and reduces energy consumption through optimized ramping and drive curves. The drive's compact LV footprint simplifies enclosure planning and reduces wiring complexity in new builds or retrofits. Adaptive programming lets engineers tailor the drive logic to exact process needs, speeding commissioning and reducing field rework. The software environment is designed for technicians migrating from legacy drives, shortening training time and improving change management across shift teams. Compatibility and installation advantages include multiple variants that enable easy integration into existing automation networks, including PROFINET communications. Its modular design supports plug-and-play installation with minimal wiring and fast commissioning, which helps cut project lead times. Common objections about cost are countered by the safety features, software flexibility, and long-term uptime they enable, delivering measurable ROI across lines in food & beverage, material handling, and textile sectors.
