What this module is and what it delivers
The ABB 3AXD50000161874 is a current-lifecycle drive module in the R1 frame size, rated for 0.75 kW normal-use output at 4.8 A on a 200–240 V three-phase supply. It includes the control unit, so the order code covers the drive itself — no separate controller board to source. Heavy-duty use drops to 0.55 kW / 3.7 A; light-overload use holds at 0.75 kW / 4.6 A. Under UL listing the heavy-duty output is 0.75 Hp / 3.2 A, light-overload 1 Hp / 4.6 A. The IE2 efficiency level and 0.98 power factor keep line draw clean for a 0.75 kW machine. Standby loss is 14 W, so the module idles without pulling much heat into the panel. Sound level is 63.10 dB(A) — noticeable in a quiet room but unremarkable on a factory floor.
I/O and communication — what you get on the terminal strip
Two analog inputs and one analog output are available for speed reference or process feedback. Five digital inputs and two digital outputs handle start/stop, fault reset, and status. No industrial Ethernet interface is present — the onboard communication is MODBUS only, so if the line uses PROFINET or EtherNet/IP, a separate gateway or option module is needed. The module mounts as a standalone unit (IP20, Open Type NEMA enclosure) and is sized for a 1000 m altitude without derating. Operating temperature maxes at 50 °C; humidity range is 5 to 95% non-condensing.
Compliance and sourcing posture
WEEE category 5 (Small Equipment, external dimension ≤ 50 cm) applies for end-of-life take-back. No battery is included, so no additional hazardous-waste classification for the drive itself.
The R1 frame is the smallest in this drive family. The next size up (R2) handles higher normal-use output on the same voltage class, but the R1 keeps the panel footprint tight for a 0.75 kW motor.
