FAQs
The ACS800-11-0020-3 is designed for typical industrial cabinet installations with standard wiring practices. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling, proper cable routing, and secure mounting to minimize vibration. Verify supply voltage compatibility and select appropriate motor parameter sets. Integration with existing PLCs or HMIs is straightforward using common fieldbus interfaces, reducing commissioning time and risk during retrofit projects.
The drive includes configurable current limits that protect the motor from overload while delivering smooth torque control. With Icont.max at 38 A, applications with moderate motor loads benefit from fast fault detection and controlled ramping to prevent sudden starts. This ensures safer operation, reduced electrical stress, and longer motor life in demanding production cycles.
Yes. The ACS800-11-0020-3 is well-suited for packaging conveyors and machine tooling where precise speed control and reliable start-up are essential. Its 18.5 kW continuous rating supports medium-power motors, while its robust protection features help maintain uptime in high-cycle applications. Its compatibility with common industrial control architectures simplifies deployment across multiple machines.
Controllers in industrial settings typically require CE certification for safety and EMC compliance. Depending on installation location, additional certifications such as UL or regional safety standards may apply. For safety-critical processes, evaluate SIL-ready configurations and ensure the drive is installed within an appropriately rated enclosure to meet protection and functional safety requirements.
Upgrading to the ACS800-11-0020-3 can reduce downtime through improved overload protection and smoother motor control, leading to higher line availability. Energy efficiency improvements from optimized speed control contribute to lower operating costs, while faster commissioning lowers project labor costs. Over time, these factors translate into a favorable return on investment and lower total cost of ownership.
