Part Number: 3AUA0000148217
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ550 drive is a compact variable speed controller designed for precise motor control across a wide range of industrial automation applications, from packaging lines to machine tooling. Operators and engineers often contend with long commissioning cycles, inconsistent torque response, and unexpected downtime; this drive streamlines setup with built-in presets, intuitive parameterization, and real-time diagnostics that surface issues before they disrupt production. Typical ABB drives support CE compliance and safety features, with options for SIL safety integration and protective enclosures to meet demanding manufacturing standards. In terms of business value, you gain reliable performance, reduced energy use, easier maintenance, and faster return on investment, complemented by scalable control modes and compatibility with ABB's broader automation ecosystem.
Product Information
Compact form factor and simplified wiring reduce panel space and wiring errors, enabling faster panel install and easier serviceability. This translates to lower installation costs and shorter downtime when lines changeover or expand. Built‑in diagnostics and remote monitoring provide proactive alerts, enabling predictive maintenance and fewer unplanned shutdowns, which improves overall OEE on packaging lines and material handling systems. Safety options with Safe Torque Off and robust protection support regulatory compliance, allowing safer startup sequences and minimal risk during commissioning in complex machinery. Versatile communications and fieldbus compatibility streamline PLC integration, shortening project timelines and reducing engineering effort for OEM machines. Energy‑efficient torque profiles and smooth ramping minimize motor heat and power waste, delivering measurable energy savings across continuous operations. Easy commissioning presets reduce engineering hours and accelerate go‑live, making it easier to scale up multi‑line production without sacrificing performance.

FAQs
Plan for a compact enclosure and routed wiring when integrating the ACQ550 into existing panels. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling and access to the built‑in diagnostics interface. Use the device’s recommended shielded cables for motor connections, and verify that power and motor conductors are sized to handle the 24A output. Verify compatibility with your PLC’s fieldbus or Ethernet interface to minimize mounting revisions during commissioning.
The ACQ550 provides precise motor control with configurable ramp profiles and torque control to handle start‑up transients. In high‑load conveyors, you can expect smooth acceleration and deceleration, reduced mechanical stress, and improved drive line stability. Use the preset profiles to optimize performance for varying load conditions and set safeguards to protect the drive against overcurrent or stall conditions.
Yes, the ACQ550 is well suited for frequent start/stop scenarios due to its fast, controlled ramping and robust diagnostic feedback. It minimizes mechanical wear and energy losses by optimizing acceleration time, while its built‑in safety features help maintain safe operation during restart sequences. When deploying across multiple lines, standardized parameter sets can ensure consistent performance.
ABB drives commonly support CE compliance and offer integration paths for SIL safety concepts depending on the configuration. For IP ratings, enclosure selection primarily determines ingress protection in industrial environments. Always consult the latest datasheet and your local compliance team to confirm exact certifications for your region and application, and ensure the installed enclosure meets the required IP rating.
Expect a reduced total cost of ownership driven by lower energy consumption, longer motor life due to controlled torque, and fewer downtime events thanks to predictive diagnostics. In packaging or tooling lines, the quicker commissioning and easier maintenance translate to shorter project cycles and faster return on investment, particularly when upgrading legacy drives to modern ABB control platforms.
