end_users_pump

Maximal efficiency with minimal maintenance
The PFC function controls up to four pumps simultaneously. It switches the pumps on and off based on the actual need. The auto change function varies the order of auxiliary pumps making sure they have equal running hours.

end_users_conveyors

Improved productivity and smooth operation
An integrated brake chopper helps you improve the productivity by speeding up braking. Smooth acceleration guarantees twitch-free operation making sure objects won't fall down.

end_users_compressors

Longer lifetime and automatic pressure control
Pre-heating function prevents condensation on motors and ensures they're not cold-started in humid or cold conditions. PID control makes sure the motor follows the reference pressure value to achieve the desired pressure.

emd_users_fans

Automatic and supervised air flow
Built-in timers clearly identify the activity of fans without requiring manual work to start and stop them. Various supervision functions make sure everything goes as planned and warn users if an issue emerges.

The ACS480, "little brother" to the ACS580 offers easiness and efficiency in the core of your applications

Save time and money with simplicity and efficiency

All essential features are already built-in, which leads to ease of selection and installation without too many additional accessories. ACS480 and ACS580 drives replace external devices such as timers, PID loops, counters, and condition monitoring logic instantly saving you money when controlling motors. Furthermore, you can enjoy quick set-up and efficient operation.

Keep your systems running smoothly

All the units are tested during production in maximum temperatures with nominal loads. They protect your processes against unplanned breakdowns due to, for example, earth faults or stall situations. The ACS480 can even operate in hot cabinets without causing disturbances to your processes.

Acquire the drive instantly when you need it and scale it to even bigger needs

The general purpose drives, ACS580 and ACS480, are widely available from ABB's Channel partners, which means minimized waiting time for you. These drives share the same control logic, the same set of fieldbuses, and the same user interface, which allows you to easily transfer the understanding gained from one drive to another.


Enjoy the cabinet optimized design, embedded application features, and an intuitive control panel.
