Extended Description
3AXD50000217373 ABB: The ACS480 is a ready-made and capable package for many applications, such as compressors, fan and conveyors, in a variety of light industries, including food and beverage, logistics and warehousing, water and wastewater, and agriculture.
It has all essential features built-in as standard, simplifying drive selection, and making additional hardware unnecessary. Straightforward settings menu and assistants enable fast setup, commissioning, use and maintenance. It=E2=80=99s a great fit for variable torque and basic speed applications, where you can leverage a compact, cabinet-optimized design for a cost-effective and efficient solution.
ABB ACS480 is a ready-made drive package that reduces selection time and integration risk for motor control projects by combining essential components into a single, cabinet-friendly unit that minimizes external hardware and wiring. Applications span compressors, fans and conveyors across food and beverage, logistics and warehousing, water and wastewater, and agriculture, enabling quick deployment in mixed-use facilities. Built-in features, diagnostic tools, and guided setup assistants shorten commissioning and enable quick fault finding across startups and routine maintenance, while providing clear insights through on-screen prompts and remote diagnostics. This reduces on-site engineering effort and lowers maintenance costs, especially in multi-line facilities. Its cabinet-optimized form factor reduces panel depth and improves cable routing, supporting compliant installations in compact enclosures and simplifying retrofits into limited-space control panels, with consistent EMC and wiring standards. This layout also simplifies future upgrades and service, easing spare-part planning and vendor coordination for multi-site operations. Variable torque control and basic speed control enable energy-efficient operation on loads like fans, conveyors, and other driven systems, delivering smoother speed profiles and reduced peak demand. Compatibility with a 4 kW, 230 V drive and a compact footprint supports quick integration into existing lines while minimizing panel space and wiring complexity, even in retrofit projects. Industry-wide reliability comes from built-in protection features, robust diagnostics, and a design that reduces wiring, external components, and cabinet heat load, which translates into lower maintenance downtime. In practice, teams report faster commissioning, easier spare-part sourcing, and a clearer path to regulatory compliance when deploying ACS480 in process and material handling environments. This approach also simplifies supplier qualification and enables scalable rollout across sites with consistent performance.
