FAQs
Begin with the ABB installation guide and verify supply matches 230 V. Connect the drive to PROFINET where applicable, enable PROFIsafe as needed, and configure adaptive programming for your process. Ensure proper enclosure protection and follow EMC considerations to minimize interference. Pre-commissioning checks should confirm motor, sensor, and feedback wiring are correctly routed to avoid nuisance faults during startup.
Key specs include IEC Pn of 0.37 kW and current of 2.4 A at 230 V, plus UL-listed Pld 0.5 HP and 2.3 A at 208 V. The unit supports PROFIsafe over PROFINET for safety integration and offers adaptive programming to tailor speed profiles. These specs translate to compact footprint, reliable speed control, and straightforward network integration for small to mid-size machines.
Yes. The ACS380 is designed for low- to mid-power conveyor drives, with a compact form factor, safe stop capabilities, and PROFINET compatibility that fits cleanly into existing automation architectures. Its adaptive programming allows tuning for gentle start/stop cycles, reducing product damage and downtime in high-throughput food and beverage environments.
The ACS380-042N-02A4-1 is CE compliant and UL-listed, supporting safe operation within regulated environments. It also offers PROFIsafe compatibility for integrated machine safety. While IP ratings are not specified here, the device is designed for industrial automation ecosystems that require safety and compliance with common European and North American standards.
The drive reduces commissioning time, lowers integration risk, and enables adaptive control that minimizes energy use and wear. With integrated safety features and straightforward programming, maintenance intervals can be extended and diagnostics improved through PROFINET networking, leading to lower total cost of ownership over the machine lifecycle.
