Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000173811 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.
Compact LV AC drive architecture with variants enables precise motor control while minimizing panel space. This translates to lower enclosure costs and simpler installation on conveyors, mixers, and textile machinery, where space is at a premium. By selecting ACS380-042N-04A8-1, engineers gain predictable performance and easier spare-part planning across multiple lines. Integrated PROFIsafe over PROFINET simplifies safety integration, reducing wiring, risk of misconfiguration, and downtime during machine startup. In packaging lines or EOT crane applications, you can rely on safer stop and restart sequences without external safety PLCs, lowering total cost of ownership while maintaining compliance. Adaptive programming lets software tune drive behavior to specific processes without extensive external controllers. This accelerates commissioning for food processing modules and textile equipment, enabling quick parameterization, faster changeovers, and easier maintenance documentation. Wide variant family and ABB compatibility streamline procurement and installation. Whether upgrading an old line or integrating into a new system, the drive supports easy cross-use, simplified spare parts, and reduced training requirements for technicians. Reliability and energy efficiency improvements come from smooth motor control and built-in diagnostics. Real-time status and fault reporting support proactive maintenance, while 0.75 kW rating aligns with common small-motor loads, reducing energy waste in continuous operations like material handling conveyors.

FAQs
Plan for a compact enclosure footprint and ensure the supply matches the 0.75 kW, 230 V rating with appropriate line wiring. Configure PROFINET communication and PROFIsafe safety wiring per the machine safety plan, and verify compatibility with the existing ABB drive ecosystem to simplify maintenance and spare parts. Proper grounding and cable routing are essential for reliable operation.
Key specs include a nominal power of 0.75 kW with 4.8 A current at 230 V, plus compatibility with UL-rated configurations (Pld 1 Hp, 4.6 A, 208 V). For conveyors, verify motor type, acceleration/deceleration profiles, and network integration with PROFINET to ensure smooth start/stop and energy-efficient speed control.
Yes. The ACS380 is designed for industries like food & beverage, material handling, and textiles. Its integrated safety features via PROFIsafe over PROFINET support safe machine operation, while adaptive programming lets you tailor speed and torque curves to process requirements, enabling reliable performance in mixers, conveyors, EOT cranes, extruders, and textile machinery.
The drive emphasizes functional safety through PROFIsafe over PROFINET and is built to support CE conformity for electrical equipment and machinery safety workflows. This combination helps ensure regulatory alignment, safer integration into machine safety systems, and smooth qualification during audits and commissioning in industrial environments.
Expect reduced downtime due to safe-stop/start capabilities and proactive diagnostics, faster commissioning via adaptive programming, and simpler maintenance with built-in status reporting. The ability to reuse the same drive variant across multiple lines reduces spare-part inventories and training time, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the machine lifecycle.
