Flexibility for smooth integration

Thanks to the compact and modular design, the

ACS6080 can be easily integrated into existing

systems. The drive can be used with one or several

supply transformers and for applications with

or without regeneration capability. A wide range

of options can be integrated into the drive.

ABB Ability™ Condition Monitoring

ABB’s Ability™ Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM)

service provides accurate, real-time information

on the condition of the drive, even when it is installed

in remote locations.

Drive robustness for high availability

The ACS6080 effortlessly drives high power applications and controls operations even in harsh

environments using the IP54 protection class. Special

features such as automatic restart ensure high availability of processes.

Learn it once, use it everywhere

• The ACS6080 drive comes with the all-compatible user

experience that is already familiar to users from ABB low

voltage drives, ensuring easy operation throughout the

entire installation.

• The common drives architecture lets users apply the

knowledge gained with one ABB drive to others, enabling

a smooth transition between drives from the ABB

all-compatible portfolio.

Dynamic performance. Reliability. Safety.

Highest level of personnel safety

The arc resistant design with fast arc elimination

together with a wide range of functional safety

features provide safety both for your personnel and processes.

High reliability through proven design

Reliability is ensured thanks to the simple and

fuseless design of the ACS6080. A low parts count

and proven components result in high uptime and

a long lifetime of the drive. Availability is further

increased with the drive’s power loss ride-through function.

Increased productivity due to new MP³C control technology

The ACS6080 drive includes ABB’s breakthrough control capability, known

as Model Predictive Pulse Pattern Control (MP³C). The new advanced MP³C

technology offers the highest level of dynamic performance provided by

ABB’s direct torque control (DTC) together with the robustness and power

quality of predictive control. At every point in time this control can anticipate

the best motor operation point by finding the perfect compromise between

dynamics, efficiency and harmonic distortion.

The advanced control enables system integrators and plant operators to

maintain stability, while reducing investment and operational costs by using

a smaller drive or a smaller motor in most cases. The increased power

capability of the ACS6080’s single power module reduces the footprint of

the drive by up to 20 percent. The new control helps to reduce operational

cost in two ways: it is more energy efficient than other control solutions,

and maintenance costs are reduced as there is less mechanical and thermal

stress on the equipment leading to longer lifetime of the components.

ACS6080 medium voltage drives offer high dynamic performance,

reliability and safety for demanding applications.

On top of ABB’s new MP³C control technology, the drive provides easy-to-use interfaces to

simplify operation and ABB Ability™ remote condition monitoring.

The right choice for high-performance applications

ACS6080 drives offer unlimited possibilities of configurations to drive

both single- and multimotor applications. Industry-specific functions

and unique features ensure reliable control of high power, low speed or

special performance applications such as test stands, marine propulsion

and thrusters, rolling mills, mine hoists, conveyors, SAG and ball mills.

Drive robustness for high availability

The ACS6080 effortlessly drives high power applications and controls operations even in harsh

environments using the IP54 protection class. Special

features such as automatic restart ensure high availability of processes.
