ACS880 multidrives

Engneered-to-order

Our cabinet-built ACS880 multidrives are engineered-to-order to meet the particular needs of specific industries, such as metals, pulp and paper, oil and gas, mining, harbours, offshore, marine, automotive and power plants. They can control a wide range of applications, including paper machines, winders, rolling mills, processing lines, roller tables, cranes, test benches and drilling.

The multidrives principle is based on a common DC bus arrangement, enabling single power entry and common braking resources for several inverters. It is also possible to connect energy storage like a battery or a super capacitor to the DC bus.

ACS880 multidrives are always engineered-to-order products. This ensures that the customer’s and application's demands are taken as the basis of our design, and even complex requirements can be included to create a unique solution.

Key benefits

The all-compatible multidrives comes with various types of supply units including diode supply units and regenerative supply units, and they are available as air- and liquid-cooled versions. Single supply and DC bus arrangement with several inverters reduce line power and system size. Utilize the premium control of virtually any type of AC motor with Direct Torque Control (DTC), including induction and permanent magnet motors and synchronous machines.

Reduced installation space
The most compact design on the market with side-by-side mounting capability.
Flexibility and ease installation
ACS880 multidrives provide flexibility to ensure that even the larger drive can be be modified to meet space requirements/ to fit to available space on installation site.
Engineered-to-order
The modular structure enable that drive line-up can be built and installed into straight line, L- and U-shape and back-to-back layouts. Extensive options enable us to engineer every multidrive to customer's specification.
Thermal handling
Highly efficient thermal handling as heat loss of each inverter unit is guided to the back of the cabinet. All cabinets are their own compartments.
Flexible for your needs
The ACS880 offers flexible hardware and software to meet your specific needs, from ready-made solutions to customization possibilities.
Precise motor control
Precise motor control for all common motor types with speed, position and ABB’s enhanced Direct Torque Control (DTC).
Advanced communication
Supporting a wide range of fieldbus and industrial ethernet solutions to enable easy integration with all major fieldbus protocols.
Built-in safety features
Safe Torque Off (STO) as a standard and encoderless safe speed detection functionality etc. ensure the highest level of machinery safety.
Clone your drive
Easily commission and replace drives with a removable memory unit that allows you to create an exact copy of the original drive.
Easy to use
Simplicity from drive selection to commissioning thanks to various built-in features and extensive support.
Carefree operation
Advanced protections, diagnostics, remote support, proven reliability, and a global service network offer peace of mind with the ACS880 drives.
Save energy & investments
Keep the network clean with ultra-low harmonic drives and utilize the excess energy by using regenerative drives.
