The ACS-BP-S is ABB's basic control panel for all-compatible drives. It is the economical choice when you need reliable local control, parameter access and fault tracking without the graphical assistant features of the ACS-AP-S.
What you get
- Icon-based menu for quick commissioning tasks.
- Full parameter access using parameter index codes — ideal for engineers who already know the drive's parameter structure.
- Backup and restore of parameters to clone settings between drives.
- Fault tracking to read and reset fault codes locally.
When the basic panel makes sense
OEM machine builders who set parameters at the factory, sites with experienced drive engineers, and installations where the drive is mainly controlled over fieldbus or I/O often choose the ACS-BP-S to reduce cost. If operators will interact with the drive regularly, or if the site has less drive experience, the ACS-AP-S assistant panel is usually worth the extra cost.
Typical applications
- OEM machines with factory-set drive parameters
- Fieldbus-controlled drives that need only local fault reset
- Cost-sensitive multi-drive installations
- Spare keypads for parameter cloning
Selection tips
- Pick the ACS-AP-S instead if operators need plain-language menus.
- Keep parameter lists documented, since the basic panel uses index codes.
- Confirm compatibility with your drive type and firmware before ordering.
ACS-BP-S Basic Control Panel: frequently asked questions
Can the ACS-BP-S back up drive parameters?
Yes. Backup and restore is supported, so you can copy settings to a replacement drive of the same type.
Does the ACS-BP-S have setup assistants?
No. Guided assistants and graphical views are features of the ACS-AP-S and other assistant panels. The basic panel provides icon menus and parameter index access.
Is the ACS-BP-S suitable for door mounting?
ABB offers mounting accessories for its control panels. Tell us your enclosure layout and we will suggest the right kit.
