FAQs
ACS380 integrates PROFIsafe over PROFINET directly into the drive, eliminating the need for separate safety controllers in many applications. This tight safety integration simplifies compliance with machinery directives, reduces wiring complexity, lowers installation risk, and shortens commissioning time while maintaining robust risk reduction for conveyors, mixers, and textile equipment.
The model ACS380-040C-038A-4+K490 provides 18.5 kW of motor power with a 38 A nominal current. It is designed for low-voltage AC motor control in industrial environments, offering smooth starts, precise speed control, and reliable torque across load profiles typical in machinery such as mixers, extruders, and conveyors.
Yes. The ACS380 is well-suited for packaging lines, supporting conveyors and mixers with integrated safety, adaptive programming, and scalable control schemes. Its compact footprint and straightforward parameterization enable quick deployment on new lines or retrofit projects, delivering consistent process performance and reduced downtime.
Prioritize proper mounting and cable management to minimize EMI and thermal buildup, and configure the drive’s adaptive programming for the targeted process. Ensure PROFIsafe configuration is aligned with the machine safety system, and plan for straightforward integration with PROFINET networks to minimize commissioning time and maximize operator safety.
Expect reduced engineering and commissioning effort due to integrated safety and adaptive programming, lower spare parts through a modular drive architecture, and improved uptime from safer stops and smoother motor control. Over time, these factors translate to lower maintenance costs and faster payback on automation projects.
