ACS 380

The ABB ACS380 is a compact, robust machinery drive designed for machine builders who need reliable, high-performance motor control. It is part of ABBs "all-compatible" portfolio, meaning it shares a user-friendly interface and toolset with other ABB drives, making it easy to integrate into existing automation systems.

Key Properties

• Versatile Motor Support: Excellent control for induction, permanent magnet, and synchronous reluctance motors.

• Compact & Durable: Designed with a slim profile for space-saving, side-by-side cabinet mounting. It features coated circuit boards as standard for reliability in harsh industrial conditions and is rated for operation up to 50C (up to 60C with derating).

• Integrated Safety & Features: Comes standard with Safe Torque Off (STO - SIL 3), an integrated brake chopper, and an EMC filter.

• Easy Commissioning: Features an intuitive, icon-based control panel for quick setup without needing to master complex manuals. It also supports "Adaptive Programming" (a mini-PLC functionality) for customizing logic directly within the drive.

• Connectivity: Includes built-in Modbus RTU with options to add various fieldbus protocols like PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT.

Typical Applications

The ACS380 is ideal for constant-torque machinery, including:

• Material Handling: Conveyors, EOT/tower cranes, and palletizers.

• Processing Machinery: Mixers, extruders, and textile machines.

• Food & Beverage: Bottling plants and processing equipment.

• General Manufacturing: Plastics and packaging industries.
