FAQs
The 3ABD00048173-D is designed for LV AC wall-mounted installations and can integrate with standard ABB and third-party motors and PLCs. It supports parameter-based configuration and PLCopen motion control blocks, reducing wiring complexity and commissioning time. Typical installations involve standard fieldbus connections and motor feedback wiring; ensure the PLC supports compatible motion control blocks and that the enclosure meets environmental requirements.
Key specs include 1.5 kW nominal power and a 4 A current rating in a wall-mounted ACS880-01-04A0-3+N5700 configuration. Position control via the N5700 block leverages PLCopen standards for deterministic motion, improving repeatability and axis synchronization. The drive supports flexible tuning for speed, torque, and ramp profiles, enabling precise control across varying loads and conveyor or pick-and-place applications.
This drive is well-suited for manufacturing lines, packaging machines, material handling systems, and automated assembly cells where high power motion and precise positioning are required. Its wall-mounted design helps compact installations in machines with limited panel space, while its connectivity supports OEM integration across packaging, sorting, and handling processes.
In typical deployments, CE compliance is a standard expectation for Europe, with safety and electrical compatibility addressed during system integration. Depending on the market, UL/CSA and other regional certifications may be considered during purchase or via system-level confirmation. Always verify enclosure IP rating and SIL safety options with the system integrator to meet local regulatory and risk requirements.
Parameter-based configuration and PLCopen motion blocks shorten commissioning time and reduce wiring and wiring errors, lowering labor costs during install and startup. The drive’s modular connectivity supports easy upgrades and cross-machine reuse, improving spare-part planning and maintenance efficiency. Over the lifecycle, these benefits translate to reduced downtime, higher throughput, and a lower total cost of ownership.
