Operators confront energy waste, torque ripple, and integration challenges with modern PLCs and control networks; this model addresses those pain points with scalable performance and robust diagnostics. Typical installations rely on CE conformity and IP-rated protection suitable for harsh industrial environments, with SIL-ready safety features available in compatible configurations. Leveraging ABB’s ecosystem, the drive supports easy commissioning, long-term reliability, and a lower total cost of ownership through improved uptime and predictable performance.
Product Information
High-power continuous output (Pcont.max 160 kW) enables direct torque control and smooth acceleration, reducing peak currents and mechanical stress. This translates into longer motor life, lower maintenance costs, and higher line productivity. In practice, this is ideal for conveyors, pumps, and mixers in packaging and processing lines where load conditions vary. Input current rating (Icont.max 245 A) supports large-motor starts without compromising control quality, minimizing voltage dips and process interruptions. The result is improved energy efficiency, reduced electrical noise, and easier panel design because the drive can handle peak demands without oversizing. Suitable for large fans, blowers, and machine tools in metalworking and beverage plants. Integrated protection and diagnostics provide real-time health monitoring and fault isolation, enabling predictive maintenance and faster repairs, which lowers downtime and extends asset life. It also supports easy integration with existing PLCs and common fieldbus networks, reducing engineering time and risk on multi-line installations. Overall, the ACS800-04M-0210-5 helps plants achieve higher throughput with lower operating costs and greater system reliability. Compact footprint and cabinet-friendly design simplify installation and reduce panel space, saving capital expenditure and wiring complexity. The drive’s modular options and plug-and-play installation help capital projects stay on schedule, especially in retrofit environments with space constraints.

FAQs
ACS800-04M-0210-5 supports typical 3-phase power supplies and standard motor runtimes; verify motor rated voltage, torque requirements, and protection class. Ensure the control panel includes appropriate input wiring, shielded cabling for fieldbus interfaces, and compatible PLC communication protocols. Use ABB configuration tools to map I/O and set acceleration/deceleration profiles for reliable integration.
With a 160 kW continuous output, expect strong torque across start-up and steady-state operation, smooth acceleration, and reduced mechanical stress. The drive minimizes current spikes during startup, improves process stability on conveyors and pumps, and enables tighter speed regulation under varying loads, boosting production consistency and reducing wear on driven components.
Yes. The ACS800-04M-0210-5 is designed for industrial automation tasks like conveyors and pumps. It supports robust protection features, configurable fault handling, and compatibility with standard enclosures. For harsh environments, pair the drive with IP-rated enclosures and proper cooling, and leverage built-in diagnostics to monitor motor health and prevent unscheduled downtime.
Look for CE conformity for European markets and verify enclosure IP ratings in the specific configuration. Depending on the installation, SIL-ready safety integrations and related safety system coordination may be required. Always confirm the exact certifications with the supplier for the intended regional and industry compliance needs before deployment.
The drive improves energy efficiency through optimized torque and soft-start, which lowers electricity costs and reduces wear. Predictive maintenance is enhanced by built-in diagnostics, decreasing unplanned downtime. Over time, these factors translate into shorter maintenance windows, higher uptime, and a faster payback on automation projects.
