ABB

ABB is a Swedish-Swiss multinational and one of the world leaders in electrical engineering, robotics, drive technology, and industrial automation. With over 130 years of experience and operations in more than 100 countries, ABB delivers electric motors, frequency inverters, PLCs, switchgear, robotics, instrumentation, and power quality systems for industry, utilities, and transport.

The ABB range at Verkopershulp.nl includes the popular M2AA/M3AA IE2/IE3 energy-efficient asynchronous motors (0.06 to 1,000 kW), ACS880 and ACS580 frequency inverters with integrated PLC functionality, ACH580 drives for HVAC applications, ABB Ability SmartSensor for wireless motor monitoring, ABB SACE Tmax XT and Emax power circuit breakers, and ABB robotics IRB-series industrial robots.

ABB's frequency inverters (ABB Drives) are market leaders in energy-efficient motor control. The ACS880 industrial drive offers Direct Torque Control (DTC) for high dynamics and precise torque control without encoder, ideal for cranes, extruders, winding machines, and other demanding applications. Integrated safety functions (STO, SS1, SLS, SBC) comply with IEC 62061 SIL3 and ISO 13849 PLe.

ABB's robotics division supplies industrial robots from 0.5 to 800 kg payload for welding, palletizing, pick-and-place, paint spraying, and assembly. The ABB OmniCore controller provides AI-based robotics control with simplified programming via RobotStudio simulation software.

At Verkopershulp.nl we carry over 2,421 genuine ABB parts, including motor components, drive modules, contactors, switchgear, PLC cards, and sensor modules. As an authorized distributor we guarantee authenticity, fast delivery, and expert advice from our ABB specialists.

History

ABB was formed in 1988 by the merger of Swedish ASEA (founded 1883) and Swiss Brown Boveri (founded 1891). Both companies had decades-long reputations in electrical machines, transformers, and high-voltage systems. The merger immediately created one of the most influential electrical engineering companies in the world. In the 1990s ABB grew through strategic acquisitions in robotics (acquisition of Westinghouse Robot Division and later Asea Robotics), power transmission, and measurement technology. In 2003 ABB sold its oil and gas division but strengthened its core activities in drive technology and automation. Today ABB has over 100,000 employees and annual revenues exceeding $28 billion. In 2020 ABB completed the spin-off of its Power Grids division (now Hitachi Energy). ABB now focuses on electromobility, energy efficiency, digital automation (ABB Ability™ platform), and robotics as core strategies for the coming decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ABB ACS880 and ACS580 frequency inverters?
The ABB ACS880 is a high-performance industrial drive with Direct Torque Control (DTC), integrated PLC functionality, SIL3 safety functions, and wide configuration options for demanding industrial processes. The ACS580 is a general-purpose drive for simpler applications with excellent energy savings but less advanced capabilities. The ACS580 is more compact and cost-effective for standard pump/fan/conveyor applications.
Are ABB IE3 motors directly replaceable for older IE2 motors?
Yes, ABB IE3 motors in the M3AA series are in most cases frame-compatible with older IE2 motors of the same power. Check the frame size (IEC 56-355), shaft bore, foot mounting, and terminal box dimensions. IE3 motors are slightly heavier and have a higher starting torque. A frequency inverter is recommended to limit the higher starting current with direct mains start.
How do I connect an ABB ACS880 drive to a PROFINET network?
Install the ABB FPNO-21 PROFINET adapter in the ACS880. Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway on the drive via the operator panel or Drive Composer software. Load the GSD files into TIA Portal or your PROFINET engineering environment and assign the drive as a PROFINET device. ABB provides a detailed PROFINET installation guide.
Which ABB motors are suitable for continuous operation in humid environments?
ABB M3AA and M3BP series motors are available with IP55, IP56, IP65, and IP66 protection ratings for use in humid, dusty, or mildly aggressive environments. For use in wet or outdoor conditions with frequent water jets, IP66 is the minimum requirement. ABB also supplies motors with SS shafts, special coatings, and tropical versions for extreme conditions.
How does ABB Ability SmartSensor work for motor monitoring?
The ABB SmartSensor is a battery-powered sensor attached to the motor housing that measures vibration, temperature, magnetic field, and sound level. Via Bluetooth Low Energy, data is sent to the ABB Ability SmartSensor app or cloud platform for trend analysis and alarm notifications. This enables wireless condition monitoring of motors without wiring or inverters.
Are ABB contactors directly replaceable for Siemens and Schneider Electric contactors?
ABB AF and A-series contactors are designed with their own terminal layouts and coil specifications that differ from Siemens 3RT and Schneider LC1 contactors. Direct interchange is only possible if the coil voltage, AC3 current class, pole configuration, and auxiliary contact configuration are identical. Consult our specialists at Verkopershulp.nl for a correct cross-reference.
How do I maintain an ABB industrial robot?
ABB industrial robots require periodic lubrication of axis gears and reducers (every 5,000-10,000 operating hours), inspection of cables and connectors, and software updates for the IRC5/OmniCore controller. ABB supplies complete lubrication kits and maintenance protocols per robot model. Our specialists advise on the correct maintenance schedule for your specific ABB robot model.
Does Verkopershulp.nl supply ABB PLC modules for the AC500 series?
Yes, we supply ABB AC500 PLC modules including CPUs, digital I/O modules, analog I/O modules, communication modules (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP), and power supply modules. The ABB AC500 series is scalable from micro-PLC to systems with hundreds of I/O points. Contact our specialists for the correct AC500 configuration for your automation project.
