FAQs
The ACS380 module is designed for seamless machine integration with modern ABB and third-party automation systems. Begin with confirming supply voltage (low-voltage AC), motor ratings, and network topology. Wire the drive per standard low-voltage drive guidelines, connect PROFINET/PROFIsafe lines, and import the adaptive programming toolkit to tailor start/stop profiles. Commissioning includes safety parameter checks, drive torque limits, and safe-stop configurations to prevent unexpected motor movement. Having an organized wiring diagram and up-to-date firmware reduces integration time and risk.
The ACS380 family provides robust low-voltage drive performance with up to 11 kW power in this variant and a 25 A nominal current, enabling strong torque at low speeds and smooth acceleration. Safety is enhanced by integrated PROFIsafe over PROFINET, allowing safe motor stopping and monitored operation within the machine-safety system. These features help maintain consistent material handling speeds and reduce mechanical stress during changes in load, improving overall process stability.
Yes. The ACS380 drive is well-suited for applications like conveyors, mixers, EOT and tower cranes, extruders, and textile equipment due to its adaptable programming and safety integration. Its LV AC configuration simplifies compliance in industrial environments, while PROFINET compatibility supports synchronized control within automated lines. When selecting for food and beverage or textiles, ensure IP protection levels and hygiene practices align with process requirements and cleaning cycles.
The ACS380 drive provides built-in safety features through PROFIsafe over PROFINET, enabling safe motor stopping as part of the machine safety system. While product data highlights functional safety capabilities, confirmation of certifications such as CE or IP ratings should be verified in the supplier documentation for your specific installation. In practice, engineers rely on these features to meet regulatory and industry safety expectations while maintaining production uptime.
Investing in the ACS380 reduces total lifecycle cost by consolidating drive control and safety in one module, lowering wiring complexity and spare-part variety. The adaptive programming capability accelerates commissioning, while PROFIsafe over PROFINET minimizes downtime due to safety-related interruptions. Over time, energy-efficient speed control and predictable performance translate to lower energy bills and improved asset utilization, delivering measurable return on investment in automation projects.
