Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000162147 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 safety is a standout capability of the ACS380. By supporting PROFIsafe over PROFINET, the drive can be embedded directly into the machine safety system, delivering a safe stop when required and reducing reliance on multiple safety devices. This translates to lower risk, simpler regulatory compliance, and faster commissioning in complex lines. Power and voltage adaptability is another key feature: IEC PN 4 kW with 230 V supply and UL-listed 5 Hp at 208 V (16.7 A) enable a single drive to support multiple machine architectures, cutting spare-part inventories and streamlining procurement. Adaptive programming lets you tailor control logic to specific tasks such as mixers, conveyors, EOT and tower cranes, delivering measurable gains in cycle times and process quality. The drive’s seamless integration with automation systems minimizes wiring, speeds PLC handoffs, and reduces integration risk during upgrades. Industry versatility is clear, with proven applicability in food and beverage, material handling, and textile machinery, ensuring a longer equipment lifespan and easier technician training. Installation benefits include compact form factor and robust thermal performance, which mean less panel space and improved reliability in tight machine footprints. When objections arise about complexity, the ACS380 provides factory presets and intuitive configuration tools to shorten learning curves and support fast deployment without sacrificing performance.
