ABB 3ABD00048181-D Drive - Position Control (ACS880)
Part Number: 3ABD00048181-D
Quick Summary
ABB 3ABD00048181-D Drive for Position Control is a high-power LV AC motor drive for precise axis control. Engineers and technicians often wrestle with tuning complex motion, achieving repeatable positioning, and integrating drives with PLCs across multiple axes on busy lines. This ACS880-based solution leverages PLCopen motion control blocks and the +N5700 position program to deliver configurable, predictable performance. Parameter-driven configuration and broad compatibility with motors and PLCs minimize wiring, shorten commissioning, and maximize uptime for packaging, material handling, and general automation applications. In practice, installers report faster validation cycles and smoother migration from legacy drives. The unit’s robust configuration also supports future expansion to higher-precision axes.

FAQs
Yes. The 3ABD00048181-D is part of the ACS880 platform and is designed to integrate with standard ABB and third-party motor and PLC configurations. Ensure your supply voltage matches the drive rating and that the PLCopen motion blocks and +N5700 program are enabled in your project. Typical commissioning steps include verifying motor feedback, tuning gains, and confirming network connectivity between the drive, PLC, and HMI.
Key specs include an 18.5 kW nominal power rating and 38 A current, single LV AC drive, wall-mounted form factor, and the +N5700 position control option using PLCopen blocks. The drive supports precise axis positioning and programmable motion profiles, with parameter-based configuration to tailor acceleration, deceleration, and positioning tolerances for your application.
Yes, the combination of high power, position control, and PLCopen blocks supports deterministic motion required in packaging and material handling. Use cases include pick-and-place, conveyor synchronization, and gantry movement. For best results, define a precise motor feedback type, encoder resolution, and motion profiles, then validate through a structured commissioning plan.
Compliance depends on the installed configuration and regional requirements. ABB ACS880 drives are commonly CE compliant within appropriate installations, and IP protection is determined by enclosure and protective measures. Always confirm the exact certifications with your distributor and ensure the drive is installed in accordance with local electrical codes and machine safety standards.
ROI comes from reduced commissioning time thanks to parameter-based setup, simpler PLC integration, and improved uptime from a reliable motion control. Maintenance benefits include standardized diagnostics, easier spare-parts planning for the ACS880 family, and regular firmware updates from ABB. For an exact estimate, quantify throughput gains, energy efficiency, and downtime reductions in your specific application.
