ABB 3AUA0000058189 ACS355-03E-08A8-4 LV AC Machinery Drive Module

Drive Overview

The ACS355-03E-08A8-4 (3AUA0000058189) is a high-performance low voltage AC machinery drive engineered by ABB for industrial automation environments. It is optimized for cabinet installation and widely used in food and beverage, material handling, lifting, and woodworking applications.

With integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality and advanced sequence programming, the ACS355 significantly reduces external wiring complexity. It supports precise motor speed and torque control, improving mechanical stability, energy efficiency, and overall machine performance.

Control Architecture

The 3AUA0000058189 is designed for compact integration and flexible system communication:

• Advanced Motor Control: Supports scalar and vector control for both induction and permanent magnet motors.
• Integrated Safety: Built-in STO compliant with SIL3 / PLe standards, reducing the need for external safety contactors.
• Flexible Connectivity: Supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET IO, PROFIBUS DP, CANopen, and Modbus RTU via optional modules.
• Compact Frame Design: R1 frame allows high-density mounting and optimized cabinet space usage.
• Embedded Logic: Built-in sequence programming enables standalone control logic without external PLC in basic applications.

Electrical & Mechanical Data

Application Questions

Does this drive require an external safety relay?

No. The ACS355 includes integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality compliant with SIL3 safety standards, allowing safe shutdown without external contactors.

Can it control permanent magnet motors?

Yes. The ACS355 supports PM motor control in open-loop mode, providing high torque at low speeds and improved energy efficiency compared to standard induction motors.

What is the maximum operating temperature?

The drive operates up to 40°C without derating. Above this temperature (up to 50°C), output current must be reduced by 1% per additional 1°C.

Installation & Commissioning Notes

Cooling and Clearance:
Maintain at least 75 mm vertical clearance above and below the drive for airflow. Side-by-side mounting is allowed without lateral spacing.

Braking Resistor Selection:
For high inertia or lifting applications, an external braking resistor is required to handle regenerative energy and prevent overvoltage faults.

EMC Compliance:
Use shielded motor cables with 360-degree grounding at both ends. Proper EMC grounding reduces electromagnetic interference in cabinet environments.

Parameter Replication:
Use ABB FlashDrop tool for fast parameter cloning in mass production environments without powering the drive.
