FAQs
Install the ACS380 module as a LV AC drive in the machine cabinet, wiring the 230 V supply to the drive input and connecting the motor to the output. Use PROFINET for control signaling and enable PROFIsafe for safety integration. Program the adaptive software to match the conveyor or mixer’s torque and speed needs. This approach reduces external safety hardware and shortens commissioning time.
The drive provides Pn 0.37 kW and 2.4 A at 230 V for normal operation, with UL listing equivalent to 0.5 Hp at 2.3 A and 208 V. These specs enable compact, efficient motor control in standard industrial motors and support cross‑region deployment with compatible voltage variants.
Yes. The ACS380 variant described is designed for applications like conveyors, mixers, EOT and tower cranes, extruders, and textile machinery. Its integrated safety features and adaptive programming help optimize speed and torque profiles, improving throughput and reducing downtime in both material handling and textile production lines.
The drive integrates PROFIsafe over PROFINET for safe-stop functionality and is UL-listed, supporting safer operation in automated lines. While CE compliance is common for ABB products, verify regional certifications during procurement. The combination of safety networking and UL listing helps simplify regulatory alignment and reduces external safety hardware needs.
Benefits include reduced wiring and cabinet space, lower commissioning time from adaptive programming, and fewer external safety components thanks to PROFIsafe integration. These factors translate into faster project ramp-up, lower maintenance complexity, and improved uptime in automation-heavy facilities.
