The ABB 3AXD50000049061 is a drive module in frame size R11, built for 380 to 480 V three-phase input at 47.5 to 63 Hz. It delivers 400 kW in normal use (725 A output) and 315 kW in heavy-duty use (566 A output), with a corresponding UL rating of 600 Hp normal-use and 450 Hp heavy-duty. The module is rated IP00 and classified as Open Type per NEMA, so it expects installation inside an enclosure that handles the cooling and contamination control.
I/O and Communication: What You Get on the Module
The module includes 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs, plus 6 digital inputs and 3 digital outputs. Communication is over CAN — no onboard Industrial Ethernet interface (0 hardware interfaces for that). That means if your plant backbone is PROFINET or EtherNet/IP, you will need an optional communication adapter module. The control unit is included, so the module ships ready to accept I/O wiring and fieldbus connection. A lithium coin cell (CR2032, 220 mAh) is fitted for real-time clock backup; expect to replace it every few years during maintenance.
Environmental Limits and Installation Notes
Maximum ambient temperature for operation is 40 °C, with altitude derating starting above 1000 m. The module generates 72 dB(A) of acoustic noise under load. Operating humidity range is 5 to 95% non-condensing. The IP00 / Open Type rating requires cabinet mounting.
Sourcing and RFQ
Because this is an active-production ABB drive module, the standard path is to quote it against your BOM line. We source through authorized and independent channels, so lead time is typically quoted to order. Submit an RFQ with your target quantity and required delivery window, and we will confirm pricing and availability. No direct replacement or second-source part exists in this frame class — the R11 is specific to this power band.
