ABB Inverter Drive, 0.75 kW, 3 Phase, 400 V ac, 2.4 A, ACS355 Series

The dive is programmed with parameters, and like all ABB drives, the parameters are organised into logical groups. The software set inside the drive is packed with features that allow the drive to tackle machinery applications. It comes with an 8-step sequence program which allows machine automation to be incorporated inside the drive (16 steps available from ABB). Timer functions can operate at different times of the day and supervision parameters can make decisions based on machine variables.
To enhance the machinery application the drive can be fitted with an interface to all modern field buses, and the I/O can be used to synchronise motors with a pulse train. The drives also have pre-programmed protection functions for the motor and the driven load, and the drive is fitted with a brake chopper as standard to help to stop dynamic loads (external resistor required).
The motor control is scalar or vector (open or closed loop) control, allowing the ACS355 to tackle more precise applications. The drive can operate induction and PM motors, allowing for more complex machinery applications to be undertaken, and the built-in braking chopper allows for higher dynamic operations to be performed. The drive comes with a 2 channel STO (Safe Torque Off) as standard to SIL 3, PLe. The ACS355 can also be fitted with a range of fieldbus, encoder or extended I/O options.
Target applications for this machinery drive are therefore: Conveyors, Material handling machines, Gates, doors, barriers, Compressors, Packaging machines, Bottling lines, Winders etc. An IP66 variant suitable for F&B is also available via ABB. The drive can be used for controlling fans and pumps, but the ACS310 may more suited to these applications.

Vector control for improved precision, induction or PM motors possible

ABB ACS355 drives bring a number of benefits:

Inverters are delivered without Control Panel, please order seperate.
Motors may require de-rating when used in conjunction with motor speed controllers, as their cooling fans may not provide sufficient cooling when running slower, please contact ABB if help is required.

CE, C-Tick approvals, UL, cUL, GOST R and RoHS compliant

Use this frequency converter from ABB to regulate the electrical input to your equipment. It converts the frequency of a current to a different frequency to control the speed of a motor. Installation is simple, as the unit comes with an 8-step sequencing programme that you can configure in minutes using a PC tool. The drive's compact dimensions of 239 (length) x 70 (width) x 161mm (depth) make it a space-saving option for busy setups. For increased safety, it has STO (safe torque off) functionality, which prevents the attached motor from restarting during repairs or maintenance.

• Light weight of 1.7kg to minimise strain on equipment
• Compatible with a wide range of communication protocols, including PROFIBUS (process field bus), Ethernet and other bus systems, for versatility
• IP20 (ingress protection) rating means the unit is touch-proof and protected against objects larger than 12mm in size

• Automotive industry
• Textile manufacturing
• Material handling
• Woodworking applications

This frequency converter has a wide input voltage range of 380 to 480V, making it a versatile choice.
