FAQs
Start by wiring the LV AC drive to the machine’s power supply and linking PROFIsafe communications to the safety PLC over PROFINET. Use the adaptive programming tools to tune the motor profile for your conveyor or mixer, then perform a safety validation to verify safe stop behavior. ABB’s documentation and field support simplify commissioning and validation across common industrial topologies.
The drive provides 5.5 kW of power with a 12.6 A current rating, delivering precise speed and torque control for conveyor motors. This combination supports smooth acceleration/deceleration, reduces mechanical wear, and improves energy efficiency on mid‑power loads. When paired with PROFINET, you also gain reliable real‑time communication for coordinated line control.
Yes. The ACS380 series is designed for versatile machine integration in industries such as food & beverage and textiles. Its adaptive programming allows process‑specific tuning, while PROFIsafe over PROFINET enables integrated safety features for operators. The drive’s robustness and configurability help maintain product quality and line uptime in high‑demand production environments.
Key considerations include CE compliance for European markets and built‑in functional safety interfaces via PROFIsafe over PROFINET for safe machine operation. While specific SIL/PL ratings depend on system configuration, the drive is designed to support safety‑related communication and safe stop functions when integrated with appropriate safety controllers.
Expected ROI comes from faster commissioning, reduced downtime, and improved energy efficiency from precise motor control. Maintenance benefits include easier diagnostics through standard ABB interfaces and compatibility with existing ABB drive tooling. The integrated safety features reduce the need for external safety relays, simplifying maintenance planning and panel design over the equipment lifecycle.
