The ACS55 micro series are compact micro drives meant for simple applications powered by the single phase supply. It is an economical option for applications like pumps, fans, conveyors and domestic use for automatic gates. The drive is designed to be compact and to fit in space-constrained installations.
One of the key advantages of the ACS55 micro series is its energy saving performance and efficient variable speed control. The drive also operates with reduced noise, thanks to its high switching frequency.
Technicians will find installing the ACS55 micro series drives a hassle-free affair. The drives can be DIN-rail mounted, and that makes it a favorite with panel builders. Besides, the contactors and motor starters can be replaced easily as the ACS55 drives are designed with feed-thru wiring.
Simplicity is the hallmark of the ACS55 micro series, especially when configuration and commissioning are concerned. The drive can be configured easily using the available potentiometer and DIP switches.
Of course, if there are dozens of ACS55 micro series to be configured, technicians could make use of the DriveConfig, which will shorten the process tremendously. Unlike their more advanced counterparts, the ACS55 drives can be configured even without being powered on.
The ACS55 micro series supports a broad range of power requirements, ranging from 0.18 to 2.2 kW. It can be used for both constant torque or variable torque control. The drive has an option for a built-in EMC filter, which increases the reliability in electrically noisy environments.
ABB micro drive ACS55 is designed to be incorporated into a wide variety of simple machines such as automatic gates, solar trackers, treadmills, whirlpool baths and other applications in both commercial and domestic environments.
Drive parameters are easily set by configuring the drive’s DIP switches and potentiometers on the front panel.
For volume configuration, the optional DriveConfig kit, which includes PC software, can be used. DriveConfig provides advanced drive configuration options with different macros for default I/O connections. DriveConfig can even be used to configure unpowered drives.
Here are the key highlights of the ACS55 micro series.
There is no complicated navigation of buttons and menu with the ACS55 micro series drives. System installers can get the drive configured quickly with the built-in DIP switches and potentiometers on the front panel.
Where configuring multiple units of ACS55 micro series is required, technicians can utilize the DriveConfig software for pre-configured macro and other advanced programming options. The drives can also be programmed without being connected to a power source.
With a slim and sleek design, the ACS55 micro series is built for compact installation. They can be mounted on DIN rail or screwed directly to the wall. While space-saving is a key feature of the drive, it’s important to leave ample space for ventilation.
