FAQs
The ACS380-040C-038A-4+K469+L535 supports PROFINET with PROFIsafe, simplifying safe communication between the drive and PLCs. To install, mount the drive, wire the LV supply and three-phase inputs, and connect PROFINET for both control and safety data. Configure device description in the PLC, assign I/O mapping, and verify safe-stop references and cross-communications with the automation system for a smooth commissioning process.
Key specs include 18.5 kW nominal power and a 38 A current rating, designed for low-voltage three-phase systems. The ACS380 supports precise speed control, adaptable programming, and safe-stop functionality via PROFIsafe over PROFINET. It is suitable for demanding motion profiles in varied load conditions while maintaining energy-efficient operation and predictable motor performance in automation lines.
Industries that benefit include food and beverage, material handling, and textile manufacturing. Typical applications are mixers, conveyors, EOT cranes, extruders, and textile machinery where reliable torque control and integrated safety are essential. The drive’s scalable power, safety features, and adaptable programming help optimize throughput, reduce downtime, and improve product quality across continuous production lines.
The ACS380-040C-038A-4+K469+L535 integrates PROFIsafe over PROFINET for safe-stop and safe-motion control, enabling safer automation system architectures. This supports SIL-capable safety logic in suitable configurations and aligns with common industrial practices for machine safety. While field deployments may also consider CE-compliant installation practices and enclosure protection, the device’s built-in safety interface is a key differentiator.
By consolidating drive control and safety logic in a single unit, maintenance reduces complexity and cabinet count, lowering installation and service costs. Adaptive programming shortens changeovers and improves process stability, which translates to higher line uptime and better product consistency. For long-term ROI, fewer spare parts, reduced wiring, and faster commissioning contribute to lower total cost of ownership.
