Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000048276 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.
The ACS380 LV AC machinery drive module delivers 18.5 kW of motor power with a 38 A current rating at 400 V, enabling direct, precise control of mid-size motors without a bulky external drive cabinet. This compact power stage improves energy efficiency and reduces wiring complexity by integrating drive electronics, control, and safety interfaces in one enclosure. In conveyors, mixers, and textile machinery, this profile supports reliable startup, smooth speed ramping, and consistent torque delivery. Integrated PROFIsafe over PROFINET packs functional safety into the drive, enabling SIL-capable safety actions without a separate safety PLC. The business impact is faster validation, simpler compliance documentation, and reduced capital expenditure from fewer components. Use in material handling and packaging lines benefits from safe motor stop and reliable fault signaling, with straightforward reconfiguration when process changes occur. Adaptive programming allows on-device logic to be tailored to a specific process, shortening commissioning time and enabling fine-tuned performance. The impact is reduced engineering effort, faster start-up, and lower risk of misconfiguration across multiple lines. Applications along extrusion and textile processes gain customized speed profiles, torque limits, and safety interlocks that stay aligned with evolving production demands. Seamless compatibility with automation networks, including PROFINET, makes it easier to integrate the drive into existing control architectures. The business value is consistent data exchange, reduced wiring, and centralized diagnostics across line equipment. This is particularly valuable in complex packaging or crane systems where multiple devices share a common network. Industry-ready design targets food and beverage, material handling, and textile applications, ensuring robust operation in demanding production environments. The drive's UL-style safety features and programmable interfaces support maintenance teams with predictable service intervals and straightforward replacement strategies. Overall, operators gain uptime, measurable efficiency gains, and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Begin by verifying power availability at 400 V and 38 A, then mount the drive in a suitable enclosure with proper cooling. Connect PROFINET to the control network and enable PROFIsafe in the safety configuration. Load the adaptive programming profile for your specific process, perform motor parameterization, and run a controlled ramp test. The result is a safe, integrated interface that eases commissioning and minimizes wiring complexity.
The drive delivers 18.5 kW of power with a current rating of 38 A at 400 V. The UL reference indicates 25 Hp at 34 A and 480 V configurations for motor sizing flexibility. These specifications support reliable control of mid-size motors in conveyors, mixers, and textile equipment while maintaining efficient energy use and smooth torque delivery.
Yes. The ACS380 is designed for conveyors, mixers, EOT and tower cranes, extruders, and textile machinery. Its integrated safety via PROFIsafe over PROFINET allows safe drivetrain operation within automation systems, while adaptive programming enables tailored control curves. This makes it a strong fit for production lines requiring reliable, scalable speed control with compact footprint.
The drive includes integrated functional safety features via PROFIsafe over PROFINET, enabling SIL-capable safety integration directly within the drive. It also aligns with UL-style safety expectations for industrial equipment, reducing the need for separate safety controllers and simplifying regulatory documentation, commissioning, and maintenance across European and North American installations.
Adaptive programming reduces commissioning time and minimizes engineering overhead, accelerating time-to-run. The integrated design lowers wiring, cabinet footprint, and related maintenance, while centralized diagnostics streamline fault isolation. Over the product life, this translates to higher uptime, lower total cost of ownership, and a faster return on investment for mixed automation environments.
