Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000164724 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.
Versatile Ethernet options reduce integration time and simplify network topology, enabling faster commissioning and fewer external gateways. The business impact is lower project risk and quicker time-to-value for automated lines; application examples include packaging and material handling where reliable networked control matters. Mint programming license included removes initial software costs and accelerates positioning task deployment, providing tangible ROI through faster commissioning and reduced engineering hours. The drive supports multiple feedback types and flexible motor pairing, enabling a broader range of motors without new hardware, which lowers spare parts inventory and simplifies maintenance in robotics and conveyor systems. Built-in Ethernet protocols streamline integration with existing control architectures, decreasing system complexity and improving diagnostics for condition-based maintenance. Compatibility with ABB ecosystem and standard safety practices ensures smoother upgrades and scalable deployments across multiple lines; this is especially valuable for OEMs and system integrators pursuing consistent performance.

FAQs
Begin with verifying power supply and motor compatibility, then select the appropriate feedback type for your load. Configure one of the built‑in Ethernet protocols and establish a control network connection to your PLC or EMS. Use the Mint programming license to set up positioning tasks, calibrate axes, and test jog/drive profiles. The process minimizes downtime by enabling straightforward parameter import and safe commissioning across multiple axes.
The MotiFlex e180 provides a 21 A continuous current rating in a LV AC servo drive platform, with support for multiple feedback types and selectable built‑in Ethernet protocols. Performance is influenced by motor pairing, feedback accuracy, and network latency. Real-world results include precise positioning, smooth velocity profiles, and reliable torque delivery across varying load conditions, all while maintaining robust communication with control systems.
Yes. The drive’s flexible Ethernet options, Mint programming license for quick positioning tasks, and support for different feedback types make it well suited for packaging lines, pick-and-place robots, and other automated handling systems. Its ability to pair with different motors without changing hardware reduces stocking needs, while reliable motion control improves throughput and reduces defect rates in high-cycle environments.
Consider CE conformity for European markets and ensure the application meets applicable safety standards for robotics and automation. While specific IP ratings and SIL readiness depend on the overall system design, ABB drives are typically integrated with safety and protection strategies to align with plant standards. Verify enclosure protection, wiring practices, and safe operating procedures to sustain compliant operation in harsh industrial environments.
Expected ROI benefits from the Mint programming license include faster project start‑up, reduced engineering hours, and lower commissioning costs. The ability to reuse parameter sets across machines improves maintenance efficiency and reduces downtime. Regular checks on feedback integrity, Ethernet health, and axis calibration help sustain performance, while ABB ecosystem compatibility simplifies future upgrades and spare parts planning.
