Reliable machine operations and essential application control for machine builders in a compact footprint. ACS180 machinery drives.

The ACS180 is an all-compatible ABB machinery drive ideal for compact machines. This cost-effective and compact drive is optimized for machine builders requiring ease of use and reliable machine 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.
Optimal drive for applications
The ACS180 drive 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.
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.
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.

ACS180 drives software with versatile features

One drive to control different types of motor. The ACS180 supports both induction and permanent magnet motors.

Excellent motor control performance. Thanks to its sensorless vector control, the ACS180 supports precise torque control even without encoder feedback. Furthermore, in more demanding applications, the ACS180 also offers rich functions, such as flystart, torque boost, DC injection, and slip compensation, to outstanding performance for various operating modes

“Mini PLC” included in the drive. By using intuitive and visualized Adaptive Programming, which offers numerous logical or mathematical function blocks, the user can build their own logic to scale up and customize the drive to your application’s requirements. The PC tool Drive Composer Entry, which is used to edit the Adaptive Programming, is also free.

Energy optimization function can automatically adjust the motor flux to its most efficient level: this helps reduce motor current and thus reduce power consumption and noise.

Many protective and process limit functions for protecting your machine through long-term running. The ACS180 not only offers various functions to protect the motor, such as overload, overheat, overcurrent, overvoltage, phase loss or phase-ground protections, but also has functions to protect the machine, such as limit of speed, torque or time

Load profile feature collects drive values, such as current and stores them in a log. This enables you to analyze and optimize the application with the help of historical data load.
