In practice, customers report faster commissioning, lower training costs, and measurable throughput improvements.
Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00049838 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.
Built-in pump-application functionality accelerates configuration and optimizes control loops for centrifugal pumps. The business impact is faster startup, reduced tuning time, and more stable flow under varying load conditions. In municipal and industrial pumping systems, this translates to fewer service interruptions and longer asset life. The energy calculator quantifies potential savings in real time, supporting energy-management programs and regulatory reporting. This delivers lower operating costs, improved KPIs, and a clear ROI during plant retrofits or new installations, especially for municipal water and wastewater projects. Optional Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and Bluetooth control panel offer flexible commissioning and remote diagnostics. The result is faster fault isolation, reduced on-site visits, and reliable operation across shifts. The IP20 wall-mount design saves space and simplifies maintenance while staying compatible with ABB’s automation ecosystem. These drives are well-suited for field deployments in water-treatment and industrial pumping.
