Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00046440 ABB: The ACS380 machinery drive comes in several variants, ensuring seamless integration into machines and connecting perfectly to automation systems. It=E2=80=99s a great fit for industries such as food and beverage, material handling and textile. Typical applications include mixers, conveyors, EOT and tower cranes, extruders, and textile machinery. With the integrated functional safety features, the ACS380 drive can be also part of the machine=E2=80=99s safety system via PROFIsafe over PROFINET, ensuring the motor is safely stopped when required. In addition, the drive=E2=80=99s software can be easily customized with adaptive programming to match any specific application requirements.
The ACS380 integrates PROFIsafe over PROFINET to participate in the machine safety system, reducing external safety interlocks and wiring. This directly lowers installation costs and simplifies safety validation during commissioning. It is well suited to conveyors, mixers, EOT cranes, extruders, and textile machinery for safe, reliable operation across manufacturing lines. Adaptive programming allows tailor-made control logic to match specific processes, cutting tune-up time and enabling rapid adjustments as production runs change. This capability supports energy efficiency and smoother torque control, reducing material waste and improving throughput. In practice, you can predefine sequences for common changes, then reuse them across multiple machines to maintain consistent performance. The 22 kW (Pn) / 45 A current rating delivers robust torque at low speeds and precise speed ramping for high-inertia loads common in packaging and material handling. The ACS380 family uses vector control and PWM optimization to lower energy consumption on long-running lines. These improvements translate to a lower total cost of ownership, less mechanical wear, and more consistent product quality. Plug-and-play connectivity supports PROFINET networks and easy parameterization, with the ACS380-040C-045A-4+L538 variant available for flexible installation. The drive’s compact footprint simplifies enclosure layouts and reduces cabinet space. Fieldbus compatibility and straightforward commissioning help engineers meet project timelines while maintaining robust diagnostics and remote tuning. In food and beverage lines, textile machinery, and material handling, the ACS380 enables predictable throughput and extended equipment life. For OEMs and system integrators, the option to adapt software for unique processes translates into faster time-to-market and lower risk during scale-up. Industry insight shows that integrated safety-aware drives reduce total system risk and streamline audits. The ACS380’s combination of safety, connectivity, and adaptive programming makes it well suited for Industry 4.0 implementations in automation environments.

FAQs
Begin by connecting the drive to a three-phase LV supply and wiring the PROFINET network to the fieldbus port. Load the project via the ACS380 configuration software and select the ACS380-040C-045A-4+L538 variant if integrated safety is required. Verify motor sizing for 22 kW, 45 A, and configure ramp rates, PID loops, and adaptive programming to align with the machine’s control strategy.
The drive delivers 22 kW nominal power with a 45 A current rating, enabling strong torque at low speeds and smooth speed ramping for high-inertia loads. Vector control and optimized PWM improve torque accuracy during start-up and under load changes, while energy-efficient operation reduces running costs. These specs support reliable performance in packaging, material handling, and textile equipment.
Yes. The ACS380 is well-suited for conveyors and mixers in food processing, as well as textile machinery, due to its precise speed control, adaptive programming, and integrated safety features. With PROFINET connectivity and scalable tuning, it supports consistent product quality, reduced downtime, and easier expansion to additional lines without compromising safety.
The ACS380 drive is CE compliant and includes built-in safety features with PROFIsafe over PROFINET, enabling safe operation within machine safety architectures. While the documentation emphasizes CE and PROFIsafe integration, always verify with your compliance team for local certifications and SIL/IP considerations relevant to your application.
Expect lower maintenance through integrated safety, reduced wiring, and simplified commissioning, which shortens project timelines. Adaptive programming and easy parameter replication enable faster scaling across lines, lowering total cost of ownership and improving uptime. Energy-efficient PWM further reduces operating costs over the drive’s lifecycle.
