New ACS380 extends ABB all compatible drive series.

Part of ABB’s all-compatible drives portfolio, the new ACS380 extends ABB all compatible machinery drive delivers the consistent and predictable performance machine builders require for their machines. Drive usability is enhanced with the built-in icon based user interface and other optional control panels. Common industrial fieldbus protocols are preconfigured, ensuring seamless integration into machines and connecting to automation systems.

The ACS380 drives are IP20 rated and available for use with a wide range of motor types rated from 0.25 to 2.2 kW 1ph. 200/240 V, and 0.37 to 7.5 kW 3ph. 380/480 V. The inverters are fitted with EMC filters as standard.

Consistent and predictable performance

The ACS380 machinery drive is best suited for machine building in the food and beverage, material handling and textile industries. The drive is designed to be used in applications such as mixers, centrifuges, conveyors and cranes requiring accurate speed and torque control.

The ACS380 offering consists of different EMC and connectivity variants with readily customised industrial fieldbus protocols (such as PROFIBUS DP, CANopen, EtherCAT and PROFINET IO) and required EMC level to ensure seamless integration into automation systems.

ACS380 drives offer enhanced usability with the built-in icon based user interface and other optional control panels. The Drive composer PC tool comes with extensive drive monitoring and process tuning capabilities, including adaptive programming for flexibility to meet different machinery requirements.

Additional features include safe torque off (STO), EMC C2 filter and brake chopper built-in as standard, resulting in a compact design that saves both space and reduces time needed for installation. Motor control has been optimised to fi t the specific needs of machine building.

Learn it once, use it everywhere

If an application requires more than an ACS380 machinery drive, the common drives architecture enables a smooth transition to other all-compatible drives in the ABB portfolio, such as the ACS880 machinery drives. The drives share the same user interfaces and options, enabling operators to apply the same knowledge gained with the ACS380 drives.
