Easily integrated drives for a wide range of applications

ABB micro drives bring speed control benefits to a wide variety of applications.

In mixing applications the drive provides high starting torque which benefi ts the start of the mixing operation. The silent operation mode adjusts the switching frequency of the drive to a higher level after the high-torque start, resulting in lower audible noise. The FlashDrop tool provides a quick and safe way to confi gure multiple drives for identical mixer applications.

In conveyors the belt speed can be controlled using a drive and a motor. Production lines often have multiple stages, including conveyors, which need to be efficiently linked with each other to provide high production output. A drive provides smooth start and stop of the conveyor, thereby reducing mechanical stress and lowering maintenance costs.

A heat pump system consists of an indoor unit with fan and an outdoor unit with a compressor and a blower. The heat pump cools indoor environment by gathering heat from the air, and transferring the heat outside. The outdoor unit uses the compressor and the blower to dissipate the heat. The cooled air is blown indoors by fans located in the indoor unit. Drive allows the user to variably control the cooling power based on customer request. AC drives optimizes systems’ energy efficiency and smoothens system operation. Fans are used for process cooling and ventilation in industrial, commercial and domestic environments. Using a drive to control air fl ow enables energy savings compared to mechanical fl ow control methods. An ABB drive has integrated PID control which provides optimal air flow by adjusting the fan speed based on a given reference value. Compact size and various mounting methods enable flexible system design.

Application macros

Application macros are preprogrammed parameter sets. When starting up the drive, the user typically selects one of the macros that is best suited for the application. The diagram below gives an overview of ACS150 control connections

and shows the default I/O connections for the ABB standard macro.

ABB micro drives have six standard macros:

ABB standard macro

3-wire macro

Alternate macro

Motor potentiometer macro

Hand/auto macro

PID control macro

In addition to the standard macros the user can create three user macros. The user macro allows the user to save the parameter settings for later use.

Contracts

Whether you operate in industry, commerce or a utility your aims remain the same: to keep your motor-driven applications running consistently and efficiently. The life cycle services for ABB drives can help you achieve these aims by maximizing the uptime of your process while ensuring the optimum lifetime of ABB drives in a predictable, safe and low-cost manner.

The life cycle services for ABB drives span the entire value chain, from the moment you make the first enquiry about a drive through to its disposal and recycling. Throughout the value chain, ABB provides training and learning, technical support and contracts. All of this is supported by one of the most extensive global drive sales and service networks.

Secure uptime throughout the drive life cycle

ABB follows a four-phase model for the life cycle management of its drives. The life cycle phases are active, classic, limited and obsolete. Within each phase, every drive series has a defi ned set of services.

ABB drive life cycle management model

The four-phase drive life cycle management model provides you with a transparent method for managing your investment in drives. In each phase, you clearly see what life cycle services are available, and more importantly, what services are not available. Decisions on upgrading, retrofi tting or replacing drives can be made with confi dence.
