Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000162307 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.
Power and sizing flexibility enables designers to cover a broad range of machines with a single family. The ACS380-042S-050A-4 is rated for 22 kW (Pn) and 50 A at 400 V, with options aligned to 30 Hp at 480 V where required, preserving equipment footprint and reducing the need for oversized drives, which lowers energy use and total cost of ownership. Integrated safety features translate into tangible business value; PROFIsafe over PROFINET allows the drive to function as part of the machine safety system, delivering safe stopping, monitoring, and easier risk assessment workflows, while maintenance teams benefit from reduced diagnostic time. Adaptive programming capabilities enable tailored control strategies for processes with varying loads, such as mixers and extruders, improving torque control, process stability, and repeatability. Installation is simplified by a compact module designed for close mounting to the motor, reducing cabling length and noise, and its compatibility with PROFINET and PROFIsafe networks supports seamless integration into existing automation architectures. Compliance and compatibility deliver ROI through CE-ready operation, energy-efficient performance, and lower downtime across high-mix manufacturing lines like textiles and packaging.
