Part Number: 68365473
Quick Summary
ABB ACS800-04-0016-5 is a compact variable speed drive that optimizes motor control for conveyor lines, pumps, and machine tools in industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with integrating drives into legacy PLCs and tuning performance without sacrificing uptime. In this class of drives, critical considerations include CE compliance, IP enclosure protections, and SIL safety ratings for appropriate safeguarding. By leveraging the ABB ecosystem, you gain streamlined installation, reliable operation, and scalable control across multiple axes, unlocking meaningful energy savings and reduced maintenance costs for your automation projects.
Product Information
The ABB ACS800-04-0016-5 provides 11 kW continuous output with a 19 A current limit, enabling precise motor control for medium-sized loads in manufacturing and packaging lines. This feature translates to improved process stability, smoother ramping, and lower peak currents, which reduces wear on motors and gear trains while delivering measurable efficiency gains. Its modular design supports simpler panel wiring and faster commissioning, which minimizes on-site downtime and supports tighter project timelines for machine builders. Energy-efficient operation, soft-start and ramp control help reduce energy consumption during start-up and operation, delivering cost savings over the lifecycle of conveyors, pumps, and metalworking equipment. The drive also includes robust protection and diagnostics, helping teams prevent unplanned outages in harsh environments. Compatibility with ABB’s control ecosystem simplifies configuration, PLC integration, and fieldbus communication, offering a clear path from installation to remote monitoring and maintenance.

FAQs
Yes. The ACS800-04-0016-5 drive is designed for broad compatibility with common AC motors and integration into standard industrial PLCs. It supports typical motor control profiles, parameterizable ramp rates, and standard fieldbus interfaces, enabling smooth replacement of older drives and straightforward PLC communication without major rework.
The unit provides a continuous output of 11 kW with a current limit of 19 A. These ratings define suitable motor sizes and load profiles for medium-power applications such as conveyors, pumps, and machine tools, while helping to prevent overload and protect both the drive and motor during operation.
Best fits include packaging conveyors, process pumps, machine tooling, and material handling lines where reliable speed control, smooth starting, and energy efficiency yield tangible ROI. The drive’s scalable architecture also supports multi-axis configurations, making it suitable for small-to-midsize automation cells and retrofit projects.
Key considerations in this category include CE compliance for safety and EMC, IP-rated enclosures for harsh environments, and SIL-rated safety where applicable to the process. When selecting, verify the specific installation’s regulatory requirements and the plant’s safety integration strategy to ensure full conformity.
Expect reduced energy consumption due to efficient motor control, longer motor life from smooth ramping and reduced electrical stress, and lower maintenance costs from built-in diagnostics and protective features. The modular installation approach also lowers commissioning time, accelerating time-to-value on new lines or upgrades.
