Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000164723 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.
Built-in flexible Ethernet protocol options simplify network integration, reduce wiring, and speed up commissioning. In practice, you can select the most compatible protocol for your PLC or industrial Ethernet switch, without adding gateways, translating into shorter project timelines and fewer points of failure on the plant floor. Mint programming license included enables easy execution of positioning tasks and fast task reconfiguration, reducing engineering effort and outage windows, which is especially valuable in packaging, automation, and robotics applications. The drive supports various feedback types, allowing you to pair with encoders or resolvers to optimize torque, speed, and precision, and to tune performance across different machinery without changing hardware. With a current rating around 21 A, it handles demanding loads while maintaining smooth trajectories and reliable operation in motion-intensive lines. Installation benefits include cohesive ABB ecosystem compatibility and reduced need for external gateways, simplifying retrofits and ongoing maintenance. This combination addresses common objections about protocol compatibility and software costs, providing a practical path to scalable automation.

FAQs
When integrating the ABB MotiFlex e180, plan for compatible Ethernet topology and ensure the selected built-in protocol aligns with your PLC. Verify motor feedback compatibility, enable the Mint license, and map I/O with minimal rewiring. Use ABB’s configuration tools to validate drift and timing margins, and consider network segmentation to maintain deterministic performance in high-speed applications like form/fill/seal or automated assembly lines.
The Mint license provides a ready-to-use toolkit for implementing positioning tasks, reducing the need for external software purchases. It enables straightforward task programming, quick parameter sweeps, and fast reconfiguration for different product runs. This translates to shorter commissioning cycles, easier scouting of motion profiles, and lower tech-entry barriers for operators managing complex automation workflows.
The drive supports multiple feedback types, allowing flexible motor pairing with encoders or resolvers. This adaptability improves torque accuracy, speed regulation, and positioning repeatability across varying loads. For robotics or pick-and-place tasks, you can tailor feedback to optimize rigidity and response time, and you can retune without hardware changes, reducing downtime and spare-part inventories.
Yes. The MotiFlex e180 offers precise motion control with selectable Ethernet protocols and flexible feedback options, which support tight positioning tolerances required in packaging and automated assembly. The 21 A current rating helps maintain stable performance under peak loads, while the Mint license accelerates commissioning. Proper tuning and encoder selection will yield consistent positional accuracy and repeatability across multiple stations.
buyers should confirm regional safety and electromagnetic compatibility compliance relevant to their installation, such as CE conformity in Europe and applicable safety standards for motion control devices. While ABB’s devices are designed to meet these expectations, verify that the configured protocol, feedback types, and enclosure ratings align with local electrical codes and plant safety requirements for your specific application.
