FAQs
Begin by confirming mains supply at 230 V and wiring the ACS380 module to the motor terminals per the ABB installation guide. Configure PROFINET communication for PROFIsafe integration, then set parameter groups for acceleration, deceleration, and torque limits. Use the adaptive programming tools to tailor sequencing to the specific conveyor or mixer, verifying safety interlocks and commissioning with a defined safety stop scenario to minimize downtime.
The variant provides a 0.37 kW IEC rating with 2.4 A at 230 V input, and a UL rated 0.5 HP at 2.3 A with 208 V operation. These values support moderate horsepower applications like small conveyors and mixers, offering efficient energy use and reliable torque across typical load profiles. The drive supports standard motor control features, including ramping, current limiting, and soft-start functionality.
Yes. The ACS380-based module is well suited for conveyors, mixers, EOT cranes, extruders, and textile machinery. Its integrated PROFIsafe over PROFINET enables safe machine operation, while adaptive programming allows customization to material handling speeds, textile process requirements, and packaging line sequencing. This makes it a flexible choice for multi-application automations within plants.
The drive carries CE marking and UL recognition, reflecting compliance across major markets. In addition, the built-in PROFIsafe compatibility supports safety system integration on PROFINET, enabling safer downtime avoidance and streamlined regulatory alignment across manufacturing facilities and automation projects.
Expect reduced maintenance due to robust motor control and built-in safety features, with lower downtime from safer stops and smoother starts.
