ABB ACS380 variable speed drive

The ABB ACS380 variable speed drive is specifically designed for heavy-duty loads and persistent predictability in large-scale producing machinery. With a range of selectable options to keep costs low, the ACS380 is in line with ABB’s philosophy of interface sharing that includes software tools and options for seamless scalability between series.

Housed in a compact frame with a wide temperate tolerance from -10 to 50°C without derating, the ACS380 machinery drive delivers high torque accuracy via numerous integrated features such as PID, limit-to-limit travel, encoder feedback and timers. An in-built EMC C2 filter secures compliance with the latest European and international standards for global industrial environments.

The ACS380 has been designed with an integrated icon-based control panel, and an optional Bluetooth control panel for easy configuration and monitoring of parameters from mobile devices. To protect both people and machinery, safety functions such as TÜV-certified safe-torque-off (STO) comes as standard.

Industrial Ethernet protocols such as Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus and EtherCAT are supported as well as RS485 and CANopen protocols to ensure painless integration across all makes of automation system. Additionally, the ACS380 supports mechanical, electrical and regenerative braking through networking multiple drives on a common DC bus system and includes compatibility with ABB’s synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM).

The ABB ACS380 machinery drive can be used for energy-efficient control of heavy-duty mixers, lifts, compressors, conveyors and winches, and in extruding, winding and unwinding applications.
