ACS880 Standard Software
The ACS880 standard software, the primary control program, is available across the entire ACS880 range. This software features built-in pre-programmed application macros, which save time during configuration and commissioning. The application will help you to set parameters for the following functions:
- Basic setup for input/output control and fieldbus adapter control
- Hand/auto control for local and remote operation
- PID control for closed loop processes
- Sequential control for repetitive cycles
- Torque control
- Four user sets, for saving multiple drive configurations
Direct Torque Control
The drives are equipped with direct torque control (DTC), ABB’s signature motor control platform. DTC helps control the motor from standstill to maximum torque and speed without the necessity of encoders or position sensors. DTC allows high overloadability, gives high starting torque and reduces the stress on mechanics.
Energy Efficiency Information
The drives come with built-in energy efficiency information that helps the user to fine-tune processes to ensure optimum energy use. The energy optimizer mode ensures the maximum torque per ampere, reducing energy drawn from the supply. Calculators provide essential energy efficiency information: used and saved electrical energy, CO2 reduction and money saved.
Removable Memory Unit
The removable memory unit stores the software that includes user settings, parameter settings and motor data. Situated on the control unit, the memory unit can easily be removed for maintenance, update or replacement purposes.
