ACS8011-330F01 by Kollmorgen

The Kollmorgen ACS8011-330F01 is a high-performance motor controller within the AC SuperDrive Motion Units series, engineered for demanding industrial automation applications. This versatile unit operates with 3-phase induction or PM synchronous motors, delivering precise closed-loop performance through advanced AC flux-vector control. Featuring a CANopen interface for seamless communication, the ACS8011-330F01 is rated for ambient temperatures from -40°C to +55°C and offers robust protection with an IP65 enclosure. Designed by Kollmorgen, this motor drive meets rigorous requirements for speed regulation and four-quadrant operation in systems ranging from conveyors to electric vehicles.

Technical capabilities of the ACS8011-330F01 are rooted in its comprehensive specification set. It supports an operating stator frequency of 0–250 Hz and selectable switching frequencies of 8, 12, or 16 kHz to optimize EMC performance and motor efficiency. The drive implements both speed control and torque control modes, allowing dynamic adjustment of motor output under varying loads. Connectivity is facilitated by an AMP SEAL 23-pin connector type and M6 bolt power connections for secure, low-resistance current paths. Control across 1, 2 or 4 quadrants ensures full regenerative braking and motoring capability, while software configurability enables reproducible performance without manual tuning.

Operational features emphasize reliability and safety in industrial environments. Programmable functions such as hill hold, rollback braking, and BPC deliver precise motion management and automatic load compensation. The drive’s positive temperature coefficient inrush limiter protects capacitors from high startup currents, and an integrated fuse requirement guards against short circuits and internal faults. With a compact form factor weighing only 1.4 kg (ACDxx02 variant) or 1.6 kg (ACDxx05 variant), the unit mounts easily using two brackets and maintains optimal thermal dissipation via its finned heatsink design. Its robust construction complies with UL 583 and EN 1175-1 applicable standards for vehicle and industrial use.

Integration into existing control architectures is simplified by its isolated CAN bus interface and programmable communication protocol. The ACS8011-330F01 can be configured through user-friendly software tools, ensuring quick deployment and minimal downtime. Storage tolerance up to 95% RH and temperatures from -40°C to +70°C allows staging in varied environments prior to installation. Powering the drive is straightforward via its B+ and B- terminals, while adherence to IP65 protection class secures it against dust ingress and water jets. This motor controller excels in automated material handling, electric vehicle drive trains, robotics, and any application requiring precise, reliable four-quadrant motion control.
