Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000157212 ABB: The ACS355 drives are designed to meet the requirements of an extensive range of machinery applications in food and beverage, material handling, lifting, textile, printing, rubber and plastics, and woodworking applications.
The drive is user-friendly, yet it provides a wide range of built-in technology such as the safe torque off functionality and sequence programming, reducing the need for additional control electronics. The product offers options and diverse functionality to cater to the needs set for speed and torque control of AC induction and permanent magnet motors.
Safe Torque Off is built into the ACS355 drive module, delivering a high-integrity safety cut-off without additional hardware. This reduces the bill of materials and simplifies machine safety architectures, helping you meet workplace safety standards while minimizing downtime during fault conditions. In practice, STO enables safe power-down during maintenance, protecting operators on packaging lines, lifts, and conveyors without reinterpretation of control logic. Sequence programming and a user-friendly interface lower integration time and external controller requirements. The drive can implement step-by-step startup, stop sequences, and synchronized machine actions without a separate PLC, which reduces wiring and debugging effort. This capability is especially valuable in material handling and textile equipment where tight motor coordination improves throughput and reduces risk of accidental starts. Compatible with both AC induction and permanent magnet motors, the ACS355 provides precise speed and torque control across varied loads. This flexibility means you can standardize on a single drive family for conveyors, lifting devices, and packaging equipment, cutting spare part inventories and simplifying maintenance. The 3 kW, 7.3 A rating supports a wide range of medium-powered machinery while preserving efficiency. Built-in technology supports energy-efficient operation and predictable performance, aiding compliance with energy-management directives. The compact module simplifies panel layout and reduces wiring complexity, enabling easier retrofits in older lines or new installations. With ABB ACS355, you gain reliable diagnostics, scalable control, and a faster path to ROI through reduced setup time and lower lifecycle costs. Designed for industries from food and beverage to material handling, lifting, textiles, and woodworking, the ACS355 module aligns with common IEC standards and industrial practice. Its rugged construction and straightforward commissioning make it well-suited for solar pump D integrations and general-purpose machinery, providing consistent performance across demanding environments.

FAQs
Plan for a single drive family approach: ensure voltage compatibility with your mains, confirm motor type compatibility (AC induction or permanent magnet motors), and verify mounting clearances. The ACS355 supports easy wiring, compact footprint, and simple integration with built-in Safe Torque Off and sequencing. This reduces external safety relays, lowers wiring complexity, and accelerates commissioning on conveyors, lifts, and packaging gear.
The module is rated at Pn 3 kW with a 7.3 A current rating, offering precise speed and torque control across varied loads. Built-in STO enhances safety, while integrated sequencing reduces external hardware. These features yield improved energy efficiency, lower idle power, and better motor control for conveyors and material-handling equipment, contributing to lower energy bills and steadier process performance.
Yes. The ACS355 supports a broad range of machinery types, including packaging lines, conveyors, lifting devices, and material-handling systems. Its compatibility with both AC induction and permanent magnet motors, along with built-in sequencing and STO, enables reliable, synchronized operation with reduced control-system complexity and improved line throughput.
The ACS355 drive module is CE-compliant, reflecting alignment with European safety, EMC, and environmental standards for industrial equipment. The Safe Torque Off feature supports machine safety goals, helping satisfy risk assessment and safeguarding obligations. Verify local regulatory requirements and ensure integration with your safety architecture and any sector-specific standards as part of your commissioning plan.
ROI benefits arise from reduced wiring, fewer external controllers, faster commissioning, and lower energy consumption due to efficient motor control. ABB provides standard product support, documentation, and service channels for ACS355 users. Regular diagnostics, alarms, and remote assistance options help minimize downtime and simplify maintenance planning on production lines and packaging equipment.
