FAQs
ACS380 is a low-voltage drive suited for 230 V supply and up to 5.5 kW. Plan for proper enclosure size, ventilation, and tidy cable routing to minimize EMI. Use PROFIsafe over PROFINET for safety integration, and reference ABB installation templates to speed commissioning and reduce wiring errors. Also consider mounting orientation for cooling efficiency and ensure the local control panel provides accessible wiring terminations.
PROFIsafe over PROFINET enables safe stop and fault signaling directly between the drive and the safety PLC or controller, reducing the need for separate safety relays. This streamlines safety architecture, shortens response times, and simplifies compliance reporting. The ACS380's built-in safety features ensure the motor stops when required, supporting machine safety standards in conveyors, cranes, and mixers.
Applications include low- to mid-scale automation such as mixers, conveyors, packaging lines, EOT and tower cranes, extruders, and textile machinery. The 5.5 kW, 25 A rating at 230 V provides robust torque for heavy belt drives and material handling. With adaptive programming, you can tailor acceleration, ramping, and safety logic to individual processes, reducing cycle times and wear.
The ACS380 includes integrated safety features and support for PROFIsafe over PROFINET to help align with industrial safety standards. For regulatory compliance, verify local CE marking, UL/ULc equivalents, and machine safety requirements with your system integrator and ABB documentation, as exact certifications may vary by region and variant. Consult ABB's product leaflets for the latest certification scope.
Deploying the ACS380 can reduce downtime through reliable control and safer automatic stops, lowering maintenance costs over motor-driven lines. The drive supports adaptive programming, which reduces rework and process changes. Regular firmware updates and ABB service packs help maintain performance and security, while the compact design minimizes panel space and wiring complexity.
