ABB ACS880 industrial AC drive range

The all-compatible architecture across ABB’s ACS880 industrial drives portfolio features an easily navigated control panel with an integrated USB connection to the PC tool. The control panel supports over 20 languages.

At the heart of the ACS880 is direct torque control (DTC) technology that precisely controls various motors, from AC induction to permanent magnet motors. Integrated safety features include safe torque-off (STO) as standard, with extended safety functions available later as options via a safety functions module.

The Drive composer PC tool, for all drive types, offers fast and harmonised start-up, commissioning and monitoring. The free entry version provides start-up and maintenance capabilities while the professional version of the tool provides additional features such as custom parameter windows, control diagrams of the drive’s configuration, basic parameter programming and safety settings.

Built-in energy calculators provide essential information including used and saved kWh and MWh, CO₂ reduction and cost savings. This feature helps the user to finetune the process to ensure optimum energy consumption.

The series is available as single drives, multidrives and drive modules, with a wide range and voltage up to 690 V. These drives are flexible and are designed for machine builders and system integrators to adapt to the needs of industries such as pulp, paper, metals, marine, material handling, mining, cement, power, chemical, and oil and gas industries.
