Standard Electric and ABB introduce to you the ACS180: an all-compatible ABB machinery drive ideal for compact machines. Optimized for machine builders requiring ease of use and reliable machine performance, this drive is also extremely cost-effective and compact. Read on to learn more about its innovative design and performance!

Reliable operation even in harsh conditions

ACS180 drives have improved reliability in harsh conditions. Coated circuit boards and minimized airflow through the electronics combined with advanced ground fault protection guarantee reliable operation and maximized uptime. The drives are designed for 50 °C ambient temperature without derating (in heavy duty) and up to 60 °C with derating.

  • Coated circuit boards as standard
  • Minimized air flow through the electronics
  • Earth fault protection
  • Design for up to 50 °C without derating
  • All drives are tested at maximum temperatures with full nominal loads

Optimal drive for applications

The ACS180 offers excellent performance and quality at its price level with all essential machinery application features embedded. Meanwhile, the built-in EMC filter and STO bring savings in cabinet size and cost. Heavy-duty use and light-duty use are rated in one drive, this will help users choose the optimal drive for each application.

Ease of use

Installation and commissioning are quick and easy thanks to the ACS180’s intuitive graphical user interface, simple parameter structure and spring control terminals. A compact drive size and the possibility of side-by-side installation help reduce the cabinet size.

  • Compact design
  • Built-in graphical user interface
  • Intuitive user menu
  • Spring clamp control terminals
  • Part of ABB all-compatible drives portfolio

 Scalability

ACS180 drives support sensorless vector control with induction and permanent magnet motors. Customized functions with adaptive and sequence programming are possible. The ACS180 drive is part of the ABB all-compatible drives portfolio, all with the same user interface and PC tools.

  • Sensorless vector control
  • Supports permanent magnet synchronous motor
  • Built-in EMC filter
  • Built-in STO
  • Built-in Modbus RTU
  • Adaptive and sequence programming

Energy efficiency and Ecodesign

ACS180 is designed to run your motors based on the current demands of your processes rather than running them at full speed and reducing output using mechanical controls like throttles, dampers, or gears, and help our customers secure a more sustainable future by reducing energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

  • Fulfill new Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2019/1781
  • Efficiency class: IE2
  • Reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions

Simple and flexible installation

The compact size of the ACS180 drive and possibility for side-by-side installation ensure optimized use of cabinet space and help save costs. Installation and commissioning of the drive are quick and easy thanks to its intuitive graphical user interface, simple parameter structure and spring control terminals.

The ACS 180 drive can be used in the Food and Beverage, Material Handling, Logistics, Printing and packaging and many other industries. Contact your Account Manager to learn more about this innovative and compact drive!
