FAQs
Start by verifying the motor is within the 5.5 kW rating and that the motor current matches or stays below 12.6 A. Use the ACS280 wiring diagram and connect to the three-phase supply and control signals per standard ABB practice. Apply the preconfigured parameter templates for your motor type, perform a quick auto-tune if available, and validate starts and stops with a controlled test run. This approach minimizes commissioning time and ensures predictable behavior with ABB motor families.
Key metrics include the rated power (5.5 kW), continuous input current (12.6 A), torque capability, speed range, and overload tolerance. Efficiency and thermal management influence energy use and maintenance intervals. For conveyors and pumps, smooth torque delivery and reliable ramping reduce mechanical stress and improve process stability, while maintaining stable throughput under load variations.
Yes. The ACS280-04S-12A6-4 is designed for precise speed control suitable for conveyors, pumps, and machine tools in manufacturing. Its configurable speed profiles support steady material flow, consistent dosing, and reduced mechanical wear. When selecting, match the 5.5 kW rating to the motor and ensure the drive’s protection features align with your line’s reliability requirements.
The ACS280 family is designed with industry-standard compliance in mind, including CE conformity for safety and electrical compliance. It also offers IP-rated protection to help maintain safe operation in industrial environments. For safety-critical applications, verify SIL-related features via system integration and ensure your safety design aligns with plant policies.
The drive includes built-in diagnostics and remote monitoring capabilities that enable proactive maintenance and faster fault isolation, reducing unplanned downtime. Energy-efficient operation and smoother startup/shutdown cycles contribute to lower operating costs. Over time, these factors translate to higher plant throughput, improved availability, and a favorable return on automation investment.
