ABB ACS380 Machinery Drives
The ABB ACS380 Machinery Drive (featured model: ACS380-040S-04A0-4 1.5 kW 400V) is a robust and compact variable frequency drive designed for machine builders and OEM integration. Engineered for reliable performance in demanding environments, the ACS380 features an icon-based user interface, adaptive programming for custom logic without a PLC, and pre-configured software variants to reduce commissioning time. Covering power ratings from 0.25 kW to 22.0 kW across 1-phase 200-240V and 3-phase 380V-480V mains, the ACS380 supports seamless integration into all major automation systems via PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP. The ACS380 serves as the modernized, high-performance replacement for legacy ABB ACS355 and ACS310 component drives, commonly used in mixers, conveyors, extruders, and cranes.
