Product Information

Extended Description

3AUA0000173806 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 with PROFIsafe over PROFINET reduces the need for external safety relays and simplifies compliance, enabling safer line operation in packaging, conveyors, and textile machinery. This directly lowers installation costs and minimizes downtime through streamlined safety integration and faster start-up. Adaptive programming and parameterizable protection allow you to tune drive behavior to your process, cutting setup time and enabling rapid response to changes in product mix or production rate. Coupled with PROFINET connectivity, you gain robust network control, diagnostics, and remote monitoring that shorten maintenance cycles and improve asset utilization on material handling lines. UL-listed safety performance and IEC compatibility support regulatory compliance while providing peace of mind for industrial environments with strict safety expectations. The drive’s compact form factor and straightforward installation integrate with existing panels and wiring, reducing retrofit risk and preserving valuable floor space. Energy-efficient vector control and software tooling deliver measurable gains in efficiency, reducing energy draw and wear on motors, which lowers total cost of ownership over the machine lifecycle.
