Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000031857 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.
Integrated 4 kW LV drive provides precise motor speed and torque control, improving throughput and consistency on conveyors and mixers. This capability translates into reduced jitter, smoother line drives, and lower mechanical wear, producing measurable energy savings over time. Applications include packaging lines, bottling, and material-handling equipment where reliable start-stop cycles matter. PROFIsafe over PROFINET enables safe-stop integration and enhanced machine safety without separate safety relays, reducing system complexity and downstream wiring costs. The business impact is lower downtime and simplified compliance testing, especially in packaging, EOT cranes, and textile machinery environments where safety-critical stops are routine. Adaptive programming and easy software customization shorten commissioning times and enable process-specific tuning, cutting engineering effort and accelerating time-to-market for new product lines. This is particularly valuable for mixers, extruders, and textile equipment that require unique speed profiles. Compatibility with 400 V and 480 V supplies, along with a 9.4 A current rating, supports diverse plant architectures and multi-motor drives, reducing inventory complexity and helping engineers standardize on a single drive family for multiple line components. Industry-facing advantages include energy efficiency improvements through optimized motor control, reduced heat load, and improved predictability in maintenance planning, which lowers total cost of ownership for food & beverage, material handling, and textile production lines.
