Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00049836 ABB: The ACQ531-01 drives deliver innovative pump features for the water and wastewater industry, securing energy efficient flow of water and wastewater in your pumping solutions. This robust and compact wall-mounted drive has built-in simple pump application functionality. Usability is further enhanced with the optional intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, the PC tool Drive composer and an optional Bluetooth=C2=AE control panel. The built-in energy calculator visualizes the energy savings achieved with the use of the drive. The ACQ531-01 variant comes in an IP20 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall.
The wall‑mounted, compact design reduces footprint and simplifies installation in constrained pump stations, delivering a cleaner, safer control space and faster project turnarounds for water treatment plants. This translates to lower site labor costs and improved maintenance access, with a measurable impact on total cost of ownership. The ACQ531‑01’s pump‑oriented functionality ensures appropriate pump behavior out of the box, minimizing over‑speed events and cavitation risks while enabling smoother process control and longer pump life. Business impact: reduced energy use and maintenance overhead, improved system reliability, and easier regulatory reporting. The built‑in energy calculator provides real‑time visibility into savings potential, supporting energy management programs and enabling data‑driven optimization for utility‑scale facilities. Application: track and report efficiency gains to stakeholders and regulators. The optional Hand‑Off‑Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and Bluetooth controller streamline commissioning, diagnostics, and remote tuning, reducing on‑site commissioning time and enabling remote support. Business impact: faster project delivery, lower commissioning costs, and improved operator training. The energy‑aware software features align with long‑term sustainability goals while maintaining pump performance, making compliance with environmental and safety standards more straightforward. Application: retrofit programs or new builds seeking predictable energy reductions. Compatibility with ABB’s Drive Composer enables structured configuration flows, test runs, and save/restore project data, supporting scalable deployment across multiple sites. Business impact: consistent setups across sites and accelerated multi‑site projects. The IP20 standard enclosure, along with wall‑mount stability, supports safe integration in typical electrical rooms and outdoor‑adjacent pump stations, reducing enclosure complexity and associated costs. Application: quick, code‑compliant installations with minimal enclosure upgrades. Industry insight: water and wastewater systems benefit from dedicated pump control features that reduce energy use and improve process stability, especially when combined with energy reporting and remote configuration utilities.
