FAQs
The ACS255-03U-12A0-6 is designed for installation inside an enclosure with IP20 protection and UL/NEMA TYPE Open configuration. It supports mounting within a machine cabinet and optionally pairs with an external control panel for remote operation, reducing wiring complexity and simplifying field service during commissioning and maintenance.
The drive uses sensorless vector control for both AC induction and PM motors, complemented by V/Hz control for precise torque regulation. This delivers smoother starts and stops, better load handling, and energy efficiency across variable torque and constant torque applications such as conveyors, pumps, and mixers.
An embedded Modbus-RTU interface enables real-time control and monitoring with SCADA and HMI systems, allowing centralized diagnostics, fault reporting, and coordinated motion across multiple drives. This reduces wiring and speeds up commissioning in multi-channel automation projects.
Recommended for augers, mixers, pumps, fans, and conveyors, the ACS255 provides precise speed control and torque profiling to maintain process stability, energy efficiency, and consistent product throughput in material handling and processing environments.
The drive features UL/NEMA TYPE Open compatibility with IP20 protection, meeting essential safety and enclosure requirements for industrial environments. Enhanced short-circuit protection and modular installation support dependable operation, improved uptime, and compliance with common industry standards.
