Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000384884 ABB: MotiFlex e180 is a versatile servo drive with flexible Ethernet communication protocol options. It can operate with one of the selectable built-in Ethernet protocols. A free Mint programming license is provided for the drive to realize easy positioning tasks. The drive supports various feedback types, allowing for flexible motor pairing options.
Flexible Ethernet protocol options combined with the MotiFlex e180 architecture deliver streamlined integration and fewer interface bottlenecks. The business impact is measurable lower commissioning time and reduced system risk on high-mix manufacturing lines. In practice, this enables packaging lines and robotic cells to start moving quickly without bespoke protocol converters. Mint programming license included enables rapid tasking of positioning, path tracing, and simple motion profiles. The business impact is accelerated deployment and a smaller engineering footprint, translating to lower project costs and quicker ROI. Applications include pick-and-place in assembly lines and precise CNC positioning. Support for multiple feedback types allows motor pairing with nearly any encoder or sensor. The business impact is higher positioning accuracy, improved repeatability, and robust performance under varying loads. In real-world automation, this reduces scrap and machine wear while supporting industry-standard feedback schemes. Built-in Ethernet protocols cut the need for external fieldbus gateways, decreasing hardware count and simplifying commissioning. This leads to lower total cost of ownership and easier integration with existing PLCs and SCADA. Typical applications include multi-vendor machine cells and line towers. The 28 A rating and MFE180-04AN-046A-4+N8020 configuration provide a solid mid-power solution for conveyors, presses, and packaging equipment. Installation is facilitated by lightweight mounting options and ABB's established safety features, while the device remains compatible with common motor families. Overall, it offers reliable performance, scalable growth, and predictable maintenance needs.

FAQs
Begin with de-energized power, mount the drive in an appropriate enclosure, and connect the power, motor, encoder, and Ethernet cables to the MotiFlex e180. Configure the MFE180-04AN-046A-4+N8020 using the included Mint license, select the proper feedback type, and set target velocity and torque. Verify all safety interlocks and perform a staged commissioning ramp before full load testing.
The drive supports multiple feedback types, including encoder-based and resolver-based options, enabling precise velocity and position feedback. Higher resolution feedback improves repeatability and reduces jitter under load, while the flexible architecture allows optimal motor pairing for fast tuning. This results in tighter process control, higher yield, and smoother operation in packaging, CNC, and robotics applications.
Yes. With a 28 A rating and built-in Ethernet protocol options, the 3AXD50000384884 is well-suited for mid-power packaging lines, conveyors, and several-axis machines. The Mint license accelerates commissioning, and the versatile feedback options support complex layouts. It also integrates with standard PLCs and SCADA, enabling cohesive control across line stations.
Certification status depends on configuration and enclosure selection. ABB drives commonly support CE pathways and SIL-ready safety integration, but exact certification packages vary by installation. Verify enclosure rating, electrical isolation, and network safety per your plant standards. Check the specific MFE180-04AN-046A-4+N8020 variant documentation for precise certification details.
ROI stems from faster deployment with the Mint license, reduced engineering effort, and fewer external gateways, lowering total installed cost. Ongoing maintenance benefits include robust diagnostics, built-in Ethernet options, and modular feedback that extends motor life. Plan for regular software updates and periodic tuning to maintain peak performance as production needs evolve.
