Why Choose the ABB ACS380-042C-04A8-1 Machinery Drive?

The ABB ACS380-042C-04A8-1, product ID 3AXD50000031846, is a compact AC machinery drive module developed for precise and dependable variable-speed motor control in machine-building and industrial automation applications. Part of ABB's ACS380 machinery drive family, it is designed for seamless integration into machines and automation systems where straightforward commissioning, flexible control and compact installation are important.

The ACS380 platform is particularly suited to OEM machinery in industries such as food and beverage, material handling and textiles. Its adaptive programming capability enables machine builders to customise drive operation to application requirements, while the ACS380 architecture provides the motor-control functionality required for applications including mixers, conveyors, cranes, extruders and textile machinery.

The ACS380-042C-04A8-1 provides an IEC nominal motor power rating of 0.75 kW with 4.8 A at 230 V, while its UL light-duty rating is 1 hp with 4.6 A at 208 V. Designed for a 200–240 V AC single-phase input supply, this compact R1 drive module is an effective solution for smaller machinery requiring controlled three-phase motor operation from a single-phase mains source.

Key Advantages

  • Purpose-designed machinery drive for OEM and industrial automation applications.
  • 0.75 kW IEC nominal motor power at 230 V.
  • 4.8 A IEC rated output current.
  • 200–240 V AC single-phase input supports machinery installations with single-phase mains supplies.
  • Compact R1 frame helps minimise control-panel space requirements.
  • Adaptive programming allows drive behaviour to be tailored to machine requirements.
  • Designed for straightforward integration with industrial machinery and automation systems.
  • ABB machinery-drive platform provides reliable variable-speed control for repetitive production processes.

Key Features

  • ABB ACS380 machinery drive series.
  • 0.75 kW IEC nominal motor power.
  • 4.8 A IEC nominal output current.
  • 1 hp UL light-duty motor rating.
  • 4.6 A UL light-duty current at 208 V.
  • 200–240 V AC single-phase input supply.
  • R1 frame size.
  • Open-type drive module construction.
  • Adaptive programming for application-specific drive functionality.
  • Designed for machine automation and OEM integration.
  • Suitable for mixers, conveyors, cranes, extruders and textile machinery.
  • Compact construction simplifies integration into machine control panels.

Reliable Variable-Speed Control for Automated Machinery

The ABB ACS380 enables machine builders to regulate motor speed according to actual process requirements rather than operating motors continuously at fixed speed. Accurate variable-speed control can improve machine performance, reduce mechanical stress and provide smoother acceleration and deceleration for conveyors, mixers, material-handling systems and other automated equipment.

Designed specifically around machinery applications, the ACS380 combines compact construction with configurable software functionality. Adaptive programming allows machine-specific operating sequences and control logic to be implemented within the drive, helping OEMs develop flexible and repeatable automation solutions while reducing unnecessary external control components.

Typical Applications

  • Conveyors and material handling equipment.
  • Mixers and agitators.
  • Food and beverage processing machinery.
  • Packaging and production equipment.
  • Textile machinery.
  • Extruders and processing machines.
  • EOT and tower crane auxiliary systems.
  • Small automated production machines.
  • OEM machinery and control panels.
  • General industrial automation applications.
