The ABB 3AXD50000031893 is a drive module in frame size R2, delivering 5.5 kW normal-use output at 12.6 A from a 380–480 V three-phase supply. Heavy-duty use drops to 4.0 kW and 9.4 A — enough for a 4-pole induction motor on a conveyor or pump. Modbus is onboard, so it ties into a PLC without an extra option card. IE2 efficiency keeps standby loss at 16 W.
The normal-use current (12.6 A) is the continuous rating at 50 °C ambient — size your motor cable and overload protection to that. Heavy-duty (9.4 A) applies when the load profile includes frequent starts or short overloads; the drive handles 4.0 kW in that duty class. UL-listed normal-use current is 11.0 A, and heavy-duty power is 5 Hp, so the same drive works on a North American 5 Hp motor with the appropriate branch-circuit protection. IP20 means it is for indoor panel mounting only — no washdown or dust-tight enclosure. Frame size R2 determines the DIN-rail footprint and gland-plate cutout; verify panel depth for the module depth plus cabling bend radius.
Integration notes
Mount the module on a flat panel or DIN rail inside an IP20 enclosure. The 2 analog inputs and 1 analog output handle speed reference and actual-value feedback; 5 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs cover start/stop, fault reset, and status. Modbus RTU at 47.5–63 Hz line frequency — set the node address via the drive parameter group. No battery inside, so no periodic replacement.
