Product Information
Compact, integrated drive with intuitive parameterization improves commissioning speed and reduces panel space. The ACH550-UH-04A6-2+B055 combines motor control, protection, and digital interfaces in a single enclosure, enabling faster tuning and consistent performance across multiple machines. This translates to lower engineering costs and shorter time-to-production for conveyor systems, packaging lines, and HVAC fans. By supporting common fieldbus options and ABB’s software tools, technicians can synchronize settings across devices, improving system coherence and reliability. Energy efficiency is a core business outcome of variable-speed drive operation. The drive trims motor start-up surges, smooths acceleration, and reduces idle energy in fan and pump applications, delivering measurable cost savings and extended motor life. For retrofit projects, compatibility with existing motors reduces upgrade risk and avoids costly rewiring, while advanced protection features help prevent overheating and electrical faults. Diagnostics and remote monitoring enable proactive maintenance. Built-in diagnostics deliver real-time fault codes, energy usage data, and run-time statistics that feed predictive maintenance programs, supporting uptime guarantees in packaging lines and process automation. With robust EMC and overload protection, the drive maintains performance under challenging factory conditions, ensuring consistent operation in demanding environments. Installation and compatibility advantages. Designed for DIN-rail mounting and straightforward wiring, the ACH550 fits neatly into existing control panels. Its ABB ecosystem compatibility simplifies spare-part sourcing and software updates, and the drive supports safe torque off as part of a compliant safety strategy. Ready-made configuration profiles speed up deployment in HVAC, conveyors, and robotic-assisted tasks, while long-term spare parts support ensures ongoing maintenance without disruptive replacements. Addressing common objections. Some projects fear high upfront costs; the ACH550-UH-04A6-2+B055 offers a favorable total cost of ownership through energy savings, reduced maintenance, and extended equipment life. Its flexible configuration supports future expansions without new drives, and its modular design eases upgrades during plant modernization. If you're migrating from legacy controllers, the drive's diagnostic data and compatibility with standard PLCs help preserve existing automation investments and accelerate ROI.

FAQs
Begin by verifying motor nameplate current and voltage, then connect L1-L3 to the motor drive input and wire motor leads to the output. Use the drive’s web interface or commissioning software to set motor parameters, safety options, and control mode. Enable STO (Safe Torque Off) for safety, and configure the chosen fieldbus or digital I/O for PLC integration. This approach minimizes commissioning time and ensures safe, reliable operation with minimal reconfiguration during future upgrades.
The ACH550-UH-04A6-2+B055 delivers precise speed and torque control suitable for conveyors, fans, and light machine tools. It supports smooth ramping, overload protection, and robust fault handling to maintain performance under varying loads. Built-in protection includes thermal monitoring and electrical fault detection, while compatibility with safety configurations supports safe integration in automation systems. While exact numbers vary by installation, the drive is designed for reliable, energy-efficient operation across typical industrial duty cycles.
Yes. The ACH550 family is well-suited for packaging-line conveyors, where precise speed control, smooth start/stop, and energy efficiency reduce product damage and increase throughput. It also works well with HVAC fans, delivering responsive control that adapts to demand while lowering energy consumption. With DIN-rail mounting and compatibility with ABB’s control ecosystem, retrofits are straightforward and scalable for future line expansions.
This model is designed to meet industry-standard compliance commonly expected for industrial drives, including CE conformity for European markets. When integrated with ABB safety modules, the system can support SIL-ready configurations and robust protection schemes. For specific regional requirements or additional certifications (UL, IP ratings), consult ABB documentation or your distributor to ensure alignment with your plant’s regulatory expectations.
Routinely, rely on built-in diagnostics and fault reporting to drive proactive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime. The energy savings from efficient motor control, coupled with extended motor life and lower maintenance costs, contribute to a favorable ROI over the life of the automation project. Upgrade paths and spare-parts availability through ABB’s ecosystem further minimize lifecycle costs and safeguard your investment.
