ABB 3AUA0000164661 LV AC Servo Drive - MFE180-04AN-03A0
Part Number: 3AUA0000164661
Quick Summary
MotiFlex e180 servo drive by ABB delivers precise motion control for automated machinery in factory automation. Engineers often struggle to unify multiple Ethernet protocols and programming tasks, which slows deployment and increases integration risk in multi-vendor environments. These drives align with common industry standards such as CE conformity, SIL safety considerations, IP ratings for dust and water, and robust environmental specs. With built-in Ethernet options, a free Mint programming license, and support for multiple feedback types, you can speed commissioning, optimize motor pairing, and reduce downtime in production lines. This combination delivers faster time-to-value and lower total cost of ownership for automated lines in packaging, robotics, conveyors, and tooling.

FAQs
The MotiFlex e180 communicates over Ethernet using selectable built-in protocols, allowing straightforward integration with ABB and third-party PLCs and motion controllers. Ensure your network supports standard Ethernet transport, verify compatible cabling and fieldbus interfaces, and follow ABB installation guidelines for safe enclosure mounting and wiring. This approach minimizes rewiring and accelerates commissioning in mixed-vendor environments.
The drive supports multiple feedback types, enabling flexible motor pairing with encoders, resolvers, or other sensor configurations. This versatility reduces the need for motor replacements during upgrades, lowers total cost of ownership, and simplifies the integration of existing motors with new control strategies in packaging, robotics, and conveyor applications.
Yes, the Mint programming license is included with the drive, enabling rapid development of positioning routines without additional licensing. This accelerates task programming, simplifies commissioning of precise motion profiles, and helps translate design intent into reliable, repeatable automated movements in pick-and-place and assembly lines.
Applications such as packaging lines, automated conveyors, machine tools, and robotic cells benefit from the MotiFlex e180 due to its 3 A current rating, flexible Ethernet options, and feedback versatility. The compact form factor also eases cabinet integration, reducing installation footprint and enabling smoother modernization or expansions of existing automation architectures.
ABB MotiFlex devices typically align with CE conformity and SIL safety concepts, plus IP ratings appropriate to industrial environments. When selecting the MFE180 family, verify regional requirements and system-level safety certifications for your specific installation, and implement proper guarding, interlocks, and protective wiring as part of the overall machine safety plan.
