Commissioning ABB ACS550 Drives – Basic Startup Guide

Commissioning ABB ACS550 drives with the attached guide and ACS550 user manual is suggested by ABB. The ABB ACS550 product line includes hardware that ranges from small wall mount drives (1 Hp) through large floor mounted units (550 Hp). NEMA 1, NEMA 12, and NEMA 3R enclosure types are available. Both scalar and sensorless vector motor control are supported.

The drive can run either as a speed regulator or as a torque regulator. The drive comes standard with 8 selectable macros. The drive includes standard hardware support for Modbus RTU communication. In addition, support for 6 other standard field buses are optionally available. The attached guide for commissioning ABB ACS550 drives will show two basic startup configurations.

• ABB Standard macro with scalar motor control.
• PID Control macro with sensorless speed vector control.

Implementation of communication is optional. This document provides setup information for both hardwired control and fieldbus control. Only generic communication setup information is provided in the attached guide for commissioning ABB ACS550 Drives.
