Simplicity at the core of your application
The ACS480 general purpose drive is equipped with built-in features that simplify
ordering and delivery, and reduce commissioning costs, since everything is
provided in a single, compact and ready-to-use package.

Startup and maintenance tool

Drive composer PC tool for startup,
configuration, monitoring and process
tuning. The PC tool is connected to the
drive’s control panel via a USB interface.

Simple to select, install and use

Built-in features, such as an EMC C2 filter, a Modbus RTU
fieldbus interface and safe torque off functionality, simplify
drive selection, installation and use.

Simplicity at your fingertips as standard

The control panel’s straightforward primary
settings menu with assistants help you set up
and operate the drive quickly and effectively.

Easiness with built-in brake chopper

A brake chopper is built-in as standard for all the
ACS480 drives. The brake chopper enables
shorter and more accurate braking times, which
instantly increases productivity.

Easiness with the built-in STO SIL 3 / PL e

STO protects both people and machines by
preventing unexpected startup and stopping-
related functions, enabling safe machine
maintenance and operation.

The ACS480 general purpose drives are part of ABB’s all-compatible
drives portfolio. They ensure simplicity and essential energy efficiency
throughout their whole life cycle. The ACS480 drive is ready to control
many basic applications such as fans, compressors and conveyors.

Easiness with all major automation networks

Optional fieldbus adapters enable connectivity with all
major industrial automation networks. A fieldbus enables
communication between drives and PLC systems, I/O
devices and the process while reducing wiring costs
compared to traditional hardwired input/output
connections.

Designed for maximum reliability

Design features like coated circuit boards, minimized airflow through the
control board section, earth fault protection and design for 50 °C ambient
temperature make the ACS480 a safe choice.

Easiness with the built-in EMC C2 filter

High-frequency noise can directly affect sensitive electronic
equipment and high-speed communication fieldbuses. Each ACS480
drive is equipped with a built-in EMC filter to reduce high-frequency
emissions. The built-in EMC C2 filter allows the drive to be used in
industrial and commercial (building) environments without a need to
buy and install any external filters.

Easiness with extensive I/O connections and

built-in Modbus RTU
The ACS480 comes as standard with an I/O
module that features extensive input and output
connections for flexible configuration in various
applications. In addition, the I/O module includes
Modbus RTU interface that easily connects to the
automation network. Colored terminals and a
possibility to remove the I/O module ensure easy
configuration and minimize mistakes in wiring.

Standard ACS480 drive software
with versatile features

Improve the performance of the motor and process with sophisticated process control in scalar and vector
control modes. Scalar control is a good choice when simplicity is at the core, while vector control is
especially for accurate and energy-efficient speed control in demanding applications.

Save commissioning and learning time with the assistant control panel's
clear and intuitive user interface and different assistants.

Optimize energy efficiency with features that help you save and manage energy.
You can monitor the hourly, daily and cumulative energy consumption
via kWh counters. Support for high-efficiency induction, synchronous
reluctance and permanent magnet motors enables even higher system
efficiency.

Reduce motor noise by spreading the switching

frequencies over a user-specified range.

Reduce costs with the built-in and standalone process PID. It makes
the ACS480 a self-governing unit requiring only an external process
measurement. No external logic input from the control room is
needed.

Analyze and optimize the application with the load profile log,
which shows you how the drive is operating. Monitor values that
matter to you on multiple home view displays.

Control delicate loads with care with mechanical brake control.

It prevents small movements of, for example, a belt conveyor
while halted.

Save time with primary settings that enable quick access to the most
commonly used parameters and settings without a need to go through
the complete parameter list.

Analyze and resolve issues with the control panel's diagnostics menu. You can
quickly analyze why the drive is performing as it is; running, stopped or running at
the present speed.

Reduce manual work with functions that do it for you. The timing function switches between
different setpoints based on a predefined schedule, the accel/decel ramps accelerate and decelerate
the motor as you want, and the ready made PFC macro sets on and off parallel motors in order to ensure
optimal output.

Easiness on a whole new level
Enjoy the simplicity effortlessly with the assistant control panel's
intuitive user interface, assistants and ready-made macros. The panel
guides you through commissioning without a need to know any drive
paramaters and helps in unclear situations.

Assistant control panel, ACS-AP-S

Set up the drive, fine-tune motor
control and monitor values that matter
using the assistant control panel,
delivered as standard with all ACS480
drives. The assistant control panel can
also be used with the ACS580 and the
ACS380.

Commission
without a hassle
Select language, set time
and date, name the drive,
enter motor values, test
rotating the motor.

Primary settings
Select ready-made macros
such as ABB standard, PFC,
Panel PID, 3-wire, perform
ID-run, fine-tune settings
related to e.g. ramps, limits,
PIDs, fieldbuses, reset to

Effortlessly monitor the
values that are the most
important to you. You can
select values for monitoring
from a ready-made list or
choose user-defined

ACS480 drives are optimized especially for cabinet installations. Uniform height and
depth across the full power range allow easy installation using a single rail inside the
cabinet, and side-by-side mounting saves space and enables smaller cabinets to be
used. The door mounting kit simplifies drive operation, as the control panel is easy to
mount on the cabinet door.
