Industrial ACS880 drives, general purpose ACS580, AC500 controllers, S800 I/O and low-voltage devices. Request equipment and components against your technical specification.
Equipment, assemblies and accessories
Choose a product group below. Each description identifies useful distinctions and the information needed to prepare an equipment or component enquiry.
ACS880 industrial drives
ACS880 covers wall-mounted drives, cabinet-built drives and modules for integration into a customer's cabinet. ACS880-01 identifies the wall-mounted range; ACS880-07 identifies cabinet-built units. Choose the installation format before comparing power ratings.
Send the complete type code, supply voltage, motor current and application. Include every option code following the plus sign: these determine the actual configuration. For an existing installation, add the frame size, enclosure requirements and photographs of connections.
A matching family name alone does not establish that a replacement will fit or communicate with the existing control system.
ACS580 general purpose drives
The ACS580 family provides general purpose motor control in several installation formats. ACS580-01 is wall-mounted, ACS580-07 is cabinet-built and ACS580-04 is a drive module. Specify whether you need a complete converter, a cabinet assembly or a component for an existing system.
The motor nameplate, load description and operating environment help define the enquiry. For replacement, retain the original voltage class, current rating, enclosure and connections in your specification.
Describe any control or fieldbus options separately; they should not be assumed to be present merely because the replacement belongs to the ACS580 family.
ACS880 supply, inverter and brake modules
Modular ACS880 systems separate functions that may be combined in a complete drive. The documented range includes ACS880-104 inverter modules, ACS880-204 IGBT supply modules, ACS880-304 diode supply modules and ACS880-604 brake modules.
Identify the position on the cabinet drawing and its role in the common DC system. Provide the full module code and the codes of connected equipment. State whether the enquiry concerns an individual replacement or a complete drive arrangement.
Matching only dimensions or the ACS880 prefix can confuse modules with entirely different electrical functions and installation requirements.
Operator panels and communication options
ABB drive systems may use operator panels, fieldbus adapters and expansion modules. Select these against the precise drive and its installed configuration. For an operator panel, photograph the rear label and state whether it mounts on the drive or remotely on a cabinet door.
A remote arrangement may also require a mounting kit and cable. For a communication option, name the network protocol and receiving controller. Include software or hardware revision information where available.
List the required accessories explicitly so that a panel-only enquiry is not confused with a complete remote operating assembly.
AC500 controllers and S500 I/O
AC500 provides programmable controllers and associated I/O for industrial automation. AC500-eCo and S500 cover different controller and module configurations. A replacement enquiry should identify the processor, base and every affected input or output module.
Send the complete station layout and explain which signals and communication links must remain available. For a new system, describe the control task, I/O quantities and integration requirements. For an installed system, state whether the application backup is available.
Supply of hardware does not by itself include recovery of a missing program or commissioning of the machine.
S800 distributed I/O systems
S800 I/O is a modular distributed input and output system for process control. Electronic modules and termination units need separate identification. Photograph their labels and the complete station, then list the signals handled by the affected channels.
Specify the controller connection and any redundancy or environmental requirements shown in the existing documentation. For a module replacement, include the original type and revision rather than selecting solely by channel count.
For an extension, provide the intended station arrangement and installation space. The enquiry can then distinguish the electronic module from its base, connectors and supporting components.
ABB robot systems and replacement components
For an ABB robot enquiry, identify both the manipulator and its control cabinet. A robot model alone does not define the installed controller, axis components or peripherals.
Supply the serial numbers, application and required scope: complete equipment, an axis assembly, an electrical component or a consumable. Mark the relevant axis or drawing position when requesting a part.
If you are replacing an existing system, explain the tooling and interfaces that must be retained. Condition, equipment completeness, documentation and commissioning requirements must be agreed for the specific offer; they are not implied by a family designation.
AF contactors and SACE Tmax XT
AF contactors and SACE Tmax XT circuit breakers serve different functions in low-voltage installations. Identify the complete device code and required accessories before requesting a quotation. For an AF contactor, include the number of main poles, operating current and coil code.
For a circuit breaker, identify the frame, trip unit and connection arrangement. Auxiliary contacts, interlocks and operating accessories should appear as separate lines in the request. If the device belongs to an existing panel, include its circuit position and photographs.
Electrical ratings and accessory fit must be checked against that exact execution.
Drive maintenance kits and service parts
ABB Motion identifies spare parts and maintenance kits as a dedicated service area. When requesting a kit, connect it to the exact drive type and the maintenance task. Send the kit part number where known, together with the drive code and an itemised list of required components.
Indicate whether the kit is for planned maintenance or a repair following a fault. If some components are already available on site, identify them separately.
This avoids ordering a complete kit when only specific items are needed, or omitting components that the maintenance procedure requires for the chosen configuration.
Earlier generations and lifecycle enquiries
For older ABB equipment, preserve the original product designation exactly as it appears on the label or documentation. A modern product with a similar rating is not automatically a direct replacement. Submit the old order code, installation drawings and interface information.
Explain whether an identical item is required or whether engineering changes can be considered. ABB service options depend on the product and its lifecycle stage; availability must therefore be checked for the particular request.
If an alternative is proposed, its mounting, electrical, communication and application differences need explicit review before it is accepted.
Prepare an equipment specification
Start with a legible nameplate and a clear description of the required result. Photograph the full device, its label and the relevant component. Record the complete type code, serial number, ratings and quantity without shortening suffixes.
Drawings or an existing bill of materials can resolve details that photographs do not show. If the label is damaged, send the best available documentation and identify which information remains uncertain. Separate compulsory requirements from preferences.
This allows the enquiry to focus on the actual equipment and prevents an incomplete description from being treated as a confirmed order specification.
Fault assessment and repair scope
If the failed component has not yet been identified, describe the symptoms before selecting a replacement. Include exact alarm text, indications, operating conditions and the sequence of events.
State whether the enquiry concerns diagnosis, repair, replacement hardware or a comparison of these options. Provide the machine model and available electrical documentation.
We can use this information to clarify the requested scope; a fault message alone does not prove which component must be replaced.
Any diagnostic work, transport, repair scope and acceptance requirements need agreement for the particular equipment and should be distinguished from the supply quotation.
Specify the model, quantity and task the equipment must perform. For replacement, attach a readable nameplate, connection photographs and available drawings. Preserve all suffixes and option codes: these can determine power supply, interface, mounting and package contents.
If an alternative may be considered, list mandatory parameters and restrictions separately. For a new project, describe operating conditions, installation space and interfaces with existing machinery. Include the desired receiving date and documentation requirements.
Mark unknown parameters as unresolved rather than presenting assumptions as an approved specification.
Components and individual replacements
A replacement component must be linked to the equipment in which it will be installed. Send its part number, the main device model and serial number, and its position on a drawing where available. If the part number is unknown, provide an overall photograph and a close view of the markings.
List cables, mounts, sensors and other required accessories separately. Specify whether you need an individual item or a complete kit. Brand and external dimensions alone do not establish compatibility; electrical, mechanical and software requirements must be checked for the actual execution.
Repair and configuration can be defined as separate tasks where required.
Request a quotation for ABB
Send your item list and a reply contact. Equipguo / SpareX is not an official dealer or representative of the manufacturer. Supply feasibility, equipment condition, package contents, price and lead time are confirmed in the specific offer. Submitting an enquiry does not confirm stock or automatically place an order.
