Part Number: 3AXD50000185160
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000185160 is a high-performance drive for precise motor control in industrial automation. Engineers often struggle with lengthy commissioning, integration gaps, and downtime when upgrading drives. Industry-standard CE certification, IP-rated protection, and SIL-capable safety configurations help ensure compliance, durability, and safer operation. This capability also supports seamless PLC integration and energy-efficient performance, delivering faster project timelines and lower total cost of ownership. In practice, this means engineers can deploy new lines quickly, with predictable startup behavior, and technicians can tune performance for changing production speeds without sacrificing reliability. The combination of robust protection, scalable control, and compatible software tooling helps reduce risk during migrations and supports ongoing optimization in evolving factories.
Product Information
Compact, robust enclosure and wiring footprint reduce panel space and simplify installation, cutting cabling costs and improving airflow in control cabinets. This makes the 3AXD drives ideal for panel-mounted installations on packaging lines, conveyors, and other space-constrained automation cells, where a smaller footprint translates to faster deployment, easier service access, and cleaner cable management. Advanced vector control and torque control algorithms deliver precise speed regulation and smoother starts and stops. The result is reduced mechanical stress, longer bearing life, improved line throughput on high-load machines, and lower throttle losses during acceleration. When tuned correctly, energy efficiency improves without compromising performance across varying load conditions. Flexible communication and PLC compatibility enable seamless integration with existing automation stacks. Whether your plant relies on Ethernet-based fieldbuses or legacy control systems, the ACS880 family supports straightforward parameter migration, faster commissioning, and simplified diagnostics, helping you cut project risk and shorten time to first run. Built-in diagnostics also support predictive maintenance planning. Safety and compliance are built in with configurable safety features and potential SIL-ready configurations. Safe torque off, fault reporting, and watchdog protection help maintain operator safety and regulatory alignment, while standardized software tooling speeds validation and audit trails across production shifts. Scalable safety options allow you to align with plant safety standards without overprovisioning. Energy efficiency and thermal management are key benefits. Optimized torque curves reduce peak current, lowering energy consumption and cooling load, which is especially valuable for continuous operation in conveyors and process lines. The robust design minimizes thermal cycling, improving reliability and reducing maintenance cycles and spare part consumption. Lifecycle support and service readiness add business value. With ABB's global service network, access to spare parts, firmware updates, and remote diagnostics shortens maintenance windows and extends equipment life. Training for technicians and ongoing software updates support long-term optimization and a higher return on automation investments.

FAQs
Yes. The ABB ACS880 drive family is designed for straightforward integration with common PLCs and fieldbus networks. For 3AXD50000185160, ensure the power rating matches your motor, mount the unit in a compliant enclosure, connect standard control and feedback signals, and configure network protocol settings in the Drive Manager or your PLC. Start with a minimal parameter set and validate with a test run.
Expect precise speed control, smooth starts and stops, and consistent torque under varying loads. The ACS880 family uses robust vector control to minimize motor heat and shaft wear, improving line reliability. With proper tuning, you can reduce energy consumption by optimizing accel/decel profiles and shorten changeover times during production shifts. This is crucial for food, packaging, and material handling lines with frequent load changes.
Yes, with IP-rated enclosures and configurable protections, the ACS880 drives are suited for demanding environments. Use appropriate enclosure and cooling to maintain performance in dusty or humid areas. The drive supports safe torque off and configurable safety functions to align with your plant safety standards. When selecting, verify ambient temperature range, ingress protection level, and cooling strategy for continuous operation.
CE marking confirms compliance with EU safety and EMC directives, while IP-rated protection ensures suitability for dusty or wet production floors. Safety-related configurations enable SIL-ready operation with appropriate system safeguards. Align installation with local electrical codes and manufacturer recommendations to maintain regulatory compliance and warranty coverage. In regulated industries such as pharma or food and beverage, document traceability and change control for audits.
