ACS550 drives.
Introduction to ACS550
ABB general purpose
drives ABB general purpose drives are simple to buy, install, configure and use, saving considerable time. They are widely available through ABB channel partners. The drives have common user and process interfaces with fieldbuses, common software tools for sizing, commissioning, maintenance and common spare parts.
Applications
ABB general purpose drives can be used in a wide range of industries. Typical applications include pump, fan and constant torque use, such as conveyors. ABB general purpose drives are ideal in those situations where there is a need for simplicity to install, commission and use and where customizing or special product engineering is not required.

| Feature | Advantage | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Energy efficiency counters | Several counters to illustrate saved energy (kWh), carbondioxide emissions (CO2) and cost in local currency. | Shows direct impact on energy bill and helps control operational expenditure (OPEX). |
| Load analyzer | Load analyzer saves process data, such as current and torque values, which can be used to analyze the process and dimensioning of the drive and motor. | Optimized dimensioning of the drive, motor and process. |
| FlashDrop tool | Faster and easier drive setup and commissioning. | Patented, fast, safe and trouble-free parametrization method without electricity. |
| Assistant control panel | Two soft-keys, function of which changes according to the state of the panel. Built-in help function via dedicated button. Real-time clock, allows timed tracing of faults and setting of parameters to activate at various times of day. Changed parameters -menu. |
Easy commissioning. Fast setup. Easier configuration. Rapid fault diagnosis. Quick access to recent parameter changes. |
| Commissioning assistants | PID controller, real-time clock, serial communications assistant, drive optimizer, startup assistant. | Easy setup of parameters. |
| Maintenance assistant | Monitors consumed energy (kWh), running hours or motor rotation. | Takes care of preventative maintenance of drive, the motor or run application. |
| Intuitive features | Noise optimization. Increases switching frequency of drive when drive temperature is reduced. Controlled cooling fan: the drive is cooled only when necessary. |
Considerable motor noise reduction. Reduces inverter noise and improves energy efficiency. |
| Choke | Patented swinging choke – matches the right inductance to the right load, thereby suppressing and reducing harmonics. | Reduces total harmonic distortion (THD) emissions up to 25%. |
| Vector control | Improved motor control performance. | Enables wider range of applications. |
| Built-in EMC filter | Category C2 (1st environment) and category C3 (2nd environment) RFI filters as standard. | No need for additional external filtering. |
| Brake chopper | Built-in up to 11 kW. | Reduced cost. |
| Connectivity | Built-in Modbus using EIA-485. Simple to install: • Easy connection of cables • Easy connection to external fieldbus systems through multiple • I/Os and plug-in options |
Reduced cost. Reduced installation time. Secure cable connections. |
| Mounting template | Supplied separately with unit. | Quick and easy to mark mounting screw holes on installation surface. |
| RoHS compliant | ACS550 drives comply with EU Directive RoHS 2002/95/CE restricting the use of certaing hazardous substances. | Environmentally friendly product. |
