Drive tools

The control panel offers quick access to simple settings and changes.

DriveStudio is an advanced PC tool for more complicated applications.

DriveSPC tool further extends the functionality having a function block

interface with drive firmware functions. The extensive standard function block

library covers most needs for custom modifications. The application control

programs have dedicated function block libraries, such as those for the

CAM profiler. The desired CAM profile is programmed with the DriveCAM tool.

The DriveSize selection tool helps to choose the optimum motor and drive

combination. The ready-made sizing examples, within the tool, cover the most

typical linear and rotary movements. 

Modular and compact design

− Seven compact frame sizes with several with several mounting and cooling options

− Function block programming capability according to IEC61131

− Scalability with internal and external options

− Global compatibility with machinery environment and standards

System offering

ABB offers a broad motion control automation system comprising

controllers, drives, motors and accessories that are designed to work

seamlessly together. The services offered to support the integrated system

span the entire value chain, from the moment a customer makes the first

inquiry to disposal and recycling of the various components. All of this is

supported by one of the most extensive global sales and service networks.

Real-time control of multi-axis system with EtherCAT®

EtherCAT® connectivity offers a realtime drive control interface for advanced

multi-axis systems. The drive is an ideal partner to the ABB AC500 PLC product

line, providing an industry standard solution with IEC 61131 programming

and PLCopen motion functions.

ACSM1-04 drives provide speed,torque and position control for

demanding applications. They can control induction, synchronous

and asynchronous servo and high torque motors with various feedback

devices. The compact hardware, different variants and programming

flexibility ensure optimum system solutions.

Highlights

− Wide power range up to 355 kW

− Compact design for single and multidrive systems

− Regenerative supply for applications

with high braking power duty cycles

− Functionality can be easily extended

using a block programming tool

− Functional safety as standard

Applications

− Plastics and rubber

− Material handling

− Woodworking

− Printing

− Food and beverage

− Extruders

− Label printing

− Coaters

− Automatic storage

Designed for machine builders The proven motor control platform,

direct torque control (DTC), provides high performance across all applications.

The drives with various mounting options give flexibility for a variety

of cabinet designs. Control and communication options can be added

via three slots. A series of drive tools support commissioning, tuning and

programming.

Machine safety

The drives feature a built-in safe torque off (STO) function as standard which

disables the power semiconductors. As such, the drive cannot power the

motor making it torque-free. More safety functions, such as safe stop 1. safe

brake control, safely limited speed, safe speed monitor and safe direction, can

be implemented with external safety system options.
