Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000162246 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 with PROFIsafe over PROFINET is a core feature, enabling safe stop sequences and compatibility with machine safety systems while reducing wiring and panel space. This drives faster, simpler compliance and lower integration risk on conveyors and mixers. PROFINET connectivity and direct PLC integration shorten commissioning cycles, minimize wiring complexity, and support seamless data exchange with automation systems used in packaging and material handling. Adaptive programming lets you tailor acceleration curves, torque limits, and control strategies to your process, cutting energy waste and downtime while improving process stability in extrusion lines and textile machinery. UL listing and robust electrical ratings—18.5 kW at 400 V with 38 A, and 25 Hp at 480 V in UL scenarios—translate to proven reliability and easier supplier qualification for plant floors. The compact module design and compatibility with common ABB drive accessories simplify retrofits and new-install projects across food & beverage, material handling, and textile applications, reducing installation costs and panel footprint. Flexible industry variants and scalable performance help OEMs plan for growth without hardware changes, delivering long-term value through unified drive control and predictable maintenance.
