Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000173801 ABB: The ACS380 machinery drive comes in several variants ensuring seamless integration into machines and connecting perfectly to automation systems. It=E2=80=99s a great fit for industries such as food and beverage, material handling and textile. Typical applications include mixers, conveyors, EOT and tower cranes, extruders and textile machinery.
With the integrated functional safety features, the ACS380 drive can be also part of the machine=E2=80=99s safety system via PROFIsafe over PROFINET, ensuring the motor is safely stopped when required. In addition, the drive=E2=80=99s software can be easily customized with adaptive programming to match any specific application requirements.
Integrated safety via PROFIsafe over PROFINET provides a safe start-stop profile within the drive’s control loop. This directly reduces risk to operators and aligns with machine safety system architectures used in modern factories. The result is easier regulatory compliance and fewer downtime events on critical lines such as conveyors and packaging. Adaptive programming enables precise tuning for unique processes, shortening engineering time and enabling faster changeovers without compromising performance. The drive’s compact LV design delivers robust 0.37 kW power with 2.4 A at 230 V, while UL-rated variants (0.5 Hp, 2.3 A, 208 V) support safety and electrical compliance in challenging environments. Seamless integration with PROFINET and PLCs reduces commissioning time, simplifies wiring, and improves data visibility across automation networks. The ACS380 is versatile across industries, from mixers and conveyors to EOT cranes, extruders, and textile machinery, delivering measurable efficiency gains and reduced total cost of ownership. Industry professionals appreciate the hardware’s reliability and the software’s adaptability for evolving production requirements.
