Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000164673 ABB: MotiFlex e180 is a versatile servo drive with flexible Ethernet communication protocol options. It can operate with one of the selectable built-in Ethernet protocols. A free Mint programming license is provided for the drive to realize easy positioning tasks. The drive supports various feedback types, allowing for flexible motor pairing options.
Flexible Ethernet protocol options built into the drive enable seamless network integration with existing plant networks. This reduces wiring complexity and accelerates commissioning by letting you select the most compatible protocol without external gateways. Application areas include robotic cells, conveyor systems, and packaging lines that require deterministic motion over standard Ethernet. Mint programming license included eliminates up-front software costs and speeds positioning tasks. Engineers can implement precise motion profiles quickly, reducing changeover times and supporting rapid iteration in development environments. This is particularly valuable for applications such as high-precision pick-and-place and synchronized multi-axis tasks. The drive supports multiple feedback types, enabling flexible motor pairing and easier upgrades. This versatility means you can select encoders, resolvers, or other sensor options without replacing hardware, improving spare-part efficiency and reducing overall lifecycle costs. In real-world installations, that translates to smoother current regulation and more consistent motion curves. With an In 4 A current rating and the MFE180-04AN-05A0-4+L516+N8020 configuration, the unit supports common mid-range servo motors while maintaining compact sizing. This reduces motor oversizing and improves system efficiency while delivering reliable torque at operating speeds. Installation and compatibility are further enhanced by built-in Ethernet support and ABB’s engineering support ecosystem. You can deploy quickly on existing industrial networks, with straightforward commissioning workflows and scalable options for future expansions. For teams assessing risk and ROI, the Mint license plus Ethernet flexibility translates to shorter project cycles and lower total cost of ownership. ABB’s MotiFlex family is designed for uptime and predictable maintenance in demanding manufacturing environments.

FAQs
To install, verify the drive’s current rating (4 A) and the chosen Ethernet protocol for your network. Use the Mint license for rapid programming of positioning tasks and ensure the PLC supports the drive’s protocol. Connect standard fieldbus and Ethernet cables, set the drive address, and load a basic motion profile. Validate with a dry-run and monitor motor feedback to confirm proper synchronization.
MotiFlex e180 supports multiple feedback types to match diverse motors. Start by identifying your motor’s encoder or resolver type, then configure the drive to use that feedback channel for position and speed regulation. This flexibility reduces spare parts and enables smoother torque control across operating conditions, improving repeatability in high-precision tasks.
Yes. The MotiFlex e180 is designed for packaging lines and robotic cells, offering easy positioning tasks via Mint licensing and flexible Ethernet communication. Its ability to handle various feedback types and a 4 A current rating supports precise, synchronized motion, reducing cycle times and boosting throughput on repetitive pick-and-place and conveyance operations.
ABB drives in this family typically emphasize compliance with common industrial standards and safety practices. Expect CE compatibility considerations and enclosure protection expectations (IP-rated environments) with SIL-conscious safety integration. Always verify the specific datasheet or with ABB on the exact certifications applicable to your regulatory requirements.
Mint licensing reduces software up-front costs and speeds commissioning, lowering engineering hours and time-to-production. Ethernet protocol flexibility minimizes integration risk, allowing faster deployment across evolving networks and easier remote diagnostics. Collectively, these factors translate to shorter project cycles, reduced downtime, and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
