FAQs
The ACS355 installation starts with mounting the unit in a suitable drive cabinet and wiring per the user manual. Connect the drive to the L, N supply, and motor terminals, then enable Safe Torque Off (STO) for safety-compliant operation. Use the integrated sequence programming to define basic start/stop sequences and tune speed/torque parameters for AC induction or permanent magnet motors. This reduces external control electronics and simplifies commissioning, especially on conveyors, pumps, and lifting applications.
Expect precise speed and torque control with smooth acceleration and deceleration, plus safe, built‑in safety features that minimize downtime. The drive supports both AC induction and PM motors, enabling reliable operation on mixers, conveyors, and packaging lines. Its programmable sequences help align machine cycles with production demands, improving throughput and reducing energy waste in high-cycle environments.
Safe Torque Off is built into the ACS355 to immediately disable motor torque without removing power, enabling safe machine stoppage during faults or maintenance. This reduces risk for operators and simplifies integration with safety PLCs or safety-rated networks. For OEM lines in sensitive environments like food processing, STO helps maintain compliance while keeping downtime minimal during interventions.
When selecting this drive, consider CE marking for safety and performance compliance, IP ratings for environmental protection in challenging environments, and SIL-related safety features for safeguarding automated equipment. While the specific product data doesn’t list these certifications, the ACS355 family is commonly used in regulated machinery setups, and ensuring these standards will support machine safety, reliability, and regulatory adherence.
Using the ACS355 for solar pump drives reduces the need for multiple external controllers by consolidating speed control, safety, and sequencing in one module. This lowers wiring complexity, shortens installation time, and reduces panel space. The drive’s robust safety features, wide motor compatibility, and straightforward commissioning translate to lower maintenance overhead and faster time-to-value on pumping projects in solar and irrigation applications.
