Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000234215 ABB: The ACS255 drive comes in several variants ensuring seamless integration into machines. The UL (NEMA) TYPE 4X / IP66 ACS255 is constructed with corrosion resistant materials for durability and increased survival in wet, dirty, or washdown applications indoors or outdoors. Common application includes augers, mixers, pumps, fans and conveyors. The key features include an integrated keypad for easy configuration, precise process control with V/Hz control and sensorless vector control for both AC induction and PM motors, enhanced short circuit protection, operating mode selection with variable torque and constant torque V/Hz profiles, and embedded Modbus-RTU communication interface for real time control and monitoring.
Integrated keypad enables quick on-site configuration, reducing commissioning time and field service calls. In real-world conveyors and pumps, this saves hours during initial setup and minimizes production downtime. V/Hz control with sensorless vector performance delivers stable speed and precise torque without expensive encoders. For both AC induction and PM motors, this translates to improved energy efficiency and smoother operation on conveyors, augers, and mixers. Enhanced short-circuit protection and a robust UL Type 4X / IP66 enclosure minimize fault-induced downtime and extend equipment life in washdown environments. Embedded Modbus-RTU allows real-time PLC/SCADA monitoring and control, reducing wiring and integration complexity, while supporting scalable automation across multiple machines. Variable torque and constant torque V/Hz profiles accommodate diverse load conditions, promoting process stability and reduced energy use across indoor and outdoor installations.

FAQs
The ACS255 is designed for 480 V industrial power networks and comes in a rugged IP66 / UL Type 4X enclosure, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor washdown environments. Its motor control supports both AC induction and PM motors, enabling reliable operation across conveyors, pumps, augers, and mixers. Modbus-RTU connectivity further simplifies integration with PLCs and SCADA systems.
The drive provides V/Hz control with sensorless vector operation, delivering precise speed and torque without encoder costs. This enables variable torque for fans and conveyors and constant torque for positive-load scenarios. These features reduce energy consumption, improve process stability, and lower wear on mechanicals, leading to measurable cost savings over the lifecycle.
Applications include augers, mixers, pumps, fans, and conveyors where washdown protection and precise motor control are critical. The device’s rugged enclosure and integrated keypad speed up commissioning for new lines or retrofits, while Modbus-RTU supports real-time control and monitoring in line with modern PLC/SCADA architectures.
Plan for a dedicated Modbus-RTU network with standard RS-485 wiring and proper termination to ensure robust communications. The drive’s integrated keypad aids on-site setup, and its 480 V input capability aligns with common industrial power distribution. Ensure IP66/4X rated enclosure placement away from direct water jets where feasible, and follow ABB guidelines for wiring and shielded cables.
Expect CE conformity for European markets and UL Type 4X / IP66-rated enclosure protection for washdown environments. These certifications support compliance with safety and reliability requirements in many industrial facilities and help streamline procurement and installation of automation equipment.
