ABB ACS480 compact variable speed drive

Click2Contact

ABB’s ACS480 compact variable speed drive has been specifically designed to optimise pump, fan and compressor operations easily as well as take advantage of energy efficiency. The series shares the same user interface, tools and options from previous ABB drives to ensure seamless scalability between them.

All essential functions have been built in to optimise common variable-torque applications via numerous integrated and preprogrammed features such as PID (proportional integral derivative), pump and fan macros and timers. Its in-built EMC C2 filter ensures compliance with the latest European and international standards allowing the drive to be used in industrial and commercial (building) environments.

Optional Bluetooth connectivity can provide easy configuration and monitoring through the ABB mobile app for both iOS and Android. Modbus is supported as standard and numerous optional communication interfaces for industrial field buses are available. To protect both people and machinery, the drive comes with key safety functions such as TÜV-certified safe torque off (STO).

The product provides easy direct access to critical energy efficiency information due to its built-in energy optimiser. Full support for ABB’s highest efficiency synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motors provides even greater efficiency and savings than traditional motors, according to the company.

The range is suitable for standard applications for energy-efficient control of light industries, including food and beverage, logistics and warehousing, and water and wastewater.
