COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of ABB 800 ACS Drives. It covers the features, benefits and application areas of 800 ACS drives; the importance of energy efficiency and sustainability; the AC and DC drives and the principles of variable speed drives, motor and drive synchronization; the role of drives in industrial automation; the hardware components covering power section, control panel and keypad, protective modules and their functions and cooling and enclosure design; the common industrial communication protocols and drive-to-PLC communication; and the parameterization for communication setups and troubleshooting communication issues.
Further, the course will also discuss the safety precautions during installation, mechanical and electrical installation and input/output wiring and connections; navigating drive interface, parameter group and settings and saving and restoring parameter backups; selecting the right drive for motor specifications and matching drive ratings to application requirements; adjusting acceleration and deceleration times, torque and speed control settings and PID controller integration; and the control methods, fault diagnostics and alarms and energy efficiency optimization.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the proper applications of ABB 800 ACS drives, drive customization features, custom macros and their usage; the application-specific configurations, optional modules and firmware updates and upgrades; the preventive maintenance schedule, cleaning and inspection routines and safety and protection; the harmonic distortion, drive’s role in harmonic mitigation, active and passive filters and compliance with international standards; the load sharing and multi-drive systems, synchronizing multiple drives and load sharing techniques, the master-slave configurations and applications in conveyor systems; setting-up remote access and using cloud-based monitoring tools; the real-time performance tracking and alerts and notifications for fault conditions; the commissioning best practices and integrating ABB 800 ACS drives with PLC and SCADA; and the advanced troubleshooting techniques.
