Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000031850 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 module design reduces panel footprint while delivering robust motor control. By integrating safety and drive functionality in a single unit, the ABB 3AXD50000031850 streamlines wiring, simplifies commissioning, and reduces the number of separate devices on the machine. In manufacturing lines such as packaging, material handling, and textiles, this consolidation translates to quicker setup and lower install costs. Power and torque are cleanly matched to the load with a 3 kW (Pn) rating and 230 V input, drawing 12.2 A under nominal operation. The result is precise speed control, smoother startups, and energy-efficient performance that lowers energy bills and extends motor life. This makes it suitable for mixers, conveyors, extruders, and textile machinery where consistent process control matters. PROFIsafe over PROFINET enables safe motor stopping and fault response within the machine safety system, reducing risk without adding separate safety devices. The drive’s integrated safety features support compliance with common industry safety strategies, helping maintain line uptime and incident-free maintenance. For automation engineers, this lowers the total cost of ownership when introducing new lines or upgrading existing equipment. Adaptive programming and flexible software tooling let users tailor motion profiles to exact processes. This minimizes tuning time during commissioning and enables rapid adaptation to product changes or line reconfigurations. In practice, technicians can tune acceleration, deceleration, and torque limits via familiar ABB software, avoiding expensive rework and shortening time-to-production. Installation advantages include compatibility with the ACS380 family and straightforward wiring, with clear labelling and standard connectors. The drive ships ready for integration into existing control architectures, which reduces panel changes and debugging. From a procurement standpoint, having a single, well-supported drive module improves parts availability and supplier leverage, contributing to predictable maintenance and support.

FAQs
Installation starts with mounting the unit in a protected panel, wiring the 230 V supply and motor leads per the ACS380 installation guide, and connecting PROFINET for control plus PROFIsafe for safety signaling. Use the ABB software to set device parameters, enable safety features, and perform a first-time boot. Verify motor direction, limits, and safe-stop behavior in a controlled demo to confirm proper integration before production runs.
The module supports IEC specifications at 3 kW (Pn) with 12.2 A input at 230 V. The UL variant lists 3 Hp at 208 V with a current of about 11.6 A. When selecting for a line, ensure supply voltage matches the target region and account for startup current. Consider cable sizing, thermal management, and enclosure protection to maintain reliable operation under load.
Yes. The ACS380-based drive is designed for packaging, material handling, and textile machinery, including conveyors and mixers. Its smooth torque control, energy efficiency, and adaptive programming help maintain consistent belt speeds and product handling. Combined with PROFIsafe over PROFINET, it also supports safer line control and easier integration with existing automation architectures.
This drive is UL-listed for safety, which supports reliable compliance in North American installations. It also supports PROFIsafe over PROFINET for machine safety integration, aligning with common industry safety practices. While CE marking and IP ratings are typical expectations for aftermarket automation equipment, verify the specific certification status with your regional ABB distributor for your intended market.
Expect reduced commissioning time due to adaptive programming and a shorter bill of materials thanks to integrated drive and safety features. The UL-listed safety and PROFINET compatibility improve fault handling and line safety, reducing downtime. Over the lifecycle, you may see lower energy consumption from efficient motor control and faster repair cycles thanks to standardized ABB software tooling.
