ABB ACS800-104-0006-3+N682+Q967
Product introduction
The ABB ACS800-104-0006-3+N682+Q967 is a high-performance variable frequency drive (VFD) from ABB’s renowned ACS800 series, engineered to deliver precise motor control in industrial applications. This configuration combines the base drive (ACS800-104-0006-3) with two critical options: the N682 PROFIBUS DP communication module and the Q967 encoder interface, creating a versatile solution for both open-loop and closed-loop control scenarios.
Designed to regulate the speed and torque of 3-phase induction motors up to 3 kW, the ACS800-104-0006-3+N682+Q967 excels in applications requiring accuracy and responsiveness. The N682 module enables seamless integration into industrial networks, while the Q967 encoder interface supports closed-loop control for tasks demanding precise speed or position regulation—from conveyor synchronization to machinery with variable loads. Its robust construction ensures reliability in harsh environments, making it a staple in manufacturing, material handling, and process industries.
Core advantages and technical highlights
Dual control flexibility: With both sensorless vector control and sensor-based closed-loop control (via Q967), the ACS800-104-0006-3+N682+Q967 adapts to diverse needs. A packaging plant used sensorless mode for fan control (saving 20% energy) and switched to encoder-based control for its precision conveyor, achieving ±0.1% speed accuracy to match filling machine rates.
Seamless network integration: The N682 PROFIBUS DP module enables real-time data exchange with PLCs and SCADA systems. An automotive parts manufacturer integrated 12 units into their Profibus network, allowing centralized monitoring of motor speeds and energy usage—reducing troubleshooting time by 35%.
Industrial-grade durability: Rated for 380-480 V AC with protection against voltage fluctuations (±10%), the drive operates reliably in dusty or humid environments (IP21 rating for base unit). A food processing facility reported uninterrupted operation for 4 years, even with daily washdowns near the control cabinet.
Energy-efficient operation: By adjusting motor speed to match load demand, the ACS800-104-0006-3+N682+Q967 cuts energy consumption. A wastewater treatment plant reduced pump energy use by 28% compared to fixed-speed drives, with payback in 14 months.
Advanced protection suite: Comprehensive safeguards—including motor thermal modeling and short-circuit protection—prevent damage. A chemical plant avoided a costly motor burnout when the drive detected an overload and shut down gracefully, triggering an alarm via its relay output.
Typical application scenarios
Material handling: In a warehouse conveyor system, the ACS800-104-0006-3+N682+Q967 controls 3 kW conveyor motors. The Q967 encoder interface synchronizes speed with upstream/downstream conveyors, preventing product jams. The N682 module sends real-time speed data to a PLC, which adjusts rates based on order volume—boosting throughput by 15% during peak hours.
Packaging machinery: A bottling line uses the drive to regulate a 2.2 kW capping motor. Sensor-based control (via Q967) maintains consistent torque, reducing cap damage by 40%. PROFIBUS integration (N682) allows remote parameter adjustment, so operators can tweak capping speed without stopping the line, cutting changeover time by 25%.
Industrial fans and pumps: A pharmaceutical plant employs the drive for a 3 kW ventilation fan. Sensorless vector control adjusts speed based on room pressure (measured via analog input), reducing energy use by 32% compared to on/off control. The drive’s overvoltage protection also prevents damage during grid fluctuations common in the facility.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions
Installation preparation: Mount the ACS800-104-0006-3+N682+Q967 on a vertical surface or DIN rail, ensuring 100 mm clearance above/below for cooling. Connect 3-phase power (380-480 V AC) to L1/L2/L3 terminals, torquing to 2.5 Nm. For the Q967 encoder interface, wire the encoder (TTL/HTL) to X5 terminals, following polarity markings to avoid signal loss. The N682 PROFIBUS module connects via a shielded twisted-pair cable (max 1200 m), with the shield grounded at both ends. Verify all connections are tight before power-up to prevent arcing.
Maintenance suggestions: Inspect quarterly for dust buildup—clean with compressed air (max 5 bar). Check cooling fans (if equipped) for noise or reduced airflow; replace every 5 years (ABB part 3HAC064892-001). Calibrate analog inputs annually using a 4-20 mA signal generator to ensure ±0.1% accuracy. For communication issues, check PROFIBUS termination resistors (120 Ω) and use ABB’s DriveWindow software to diagnose bus errors. Replace capacitors after 10 years to prevent power supply failures, using ABB-approved components only.
