Operators in municipal and industrial pumping face rising energy costs and downtime when pumps run inefficiently. This drive mitigates common pain points with built-in sensorless flow calculation, dry-run protection, soft ramps, and quick ramp options, reducing maintenance and protecting pump equipment. It complies with CE standards and provides IP21 protection by default, with IP55 and flange-mount options available for tougher installations. By enabling intuitive setup via Drive Composer and an integrated energy calculator, it delivers measurable business value through lower energy bills, improved reliability, and simpler integration with upstream SCADA. This makes it a sensible upgrade for utilities and process plants seeking fast ROI.
Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD50000039037 ABB: The ACQ580-01 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 pump application functionality such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and a solution for keeping the impeller of the pump clean. Usability is further enhanced with the 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 ACQ580-01 variant comes in an IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. In addition, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Built-in pump application features—sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and level control—enable precise, automatic regulation of water and wastewater systems. This feature set reduces energy use and ensures consistent flow while minimizing overflow or dry-run risks. In practice, utilities deploy these controls to optimize routine pumping and emergency response scenarios. Soft pipe fill, quick ramps, and dry-run protection protect both equipment and operators during startup and transitions. By eliminating abrupt pressure surges and preventing dry running, the drive extends pump life and reduces maintenance costs. These safeguards are particularly valuable in municipal lift stations and industrial process lines. The Hand-Off-Auto mode, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel simplify commissioning and ongoing tuning. Field technicians can configure, monitor, and adjust settings from a local panel or remotely, reducing on-site visits and downtime. This flexibility supports rapid deployment across new or expanded pump stations. An integrated energy calculator visualizes potential energy savings and supports ROI planning, helping engineers justify upgrades. The drive’s compact footprint and intuitive interfaces accelerate project timelines and minimize wiring changes. Operators gain actionable insights to optimize run-time efficiency and energy performance across shifts. The unit ships in an IP21 enclosed wall-mount form factor, with IP55 and flange-mount options available for higher protection needs. Its compact footprint supports easy retrofits and rapid deployment alongside existing plant cabinets. Installation benefits include simpler cable routing and reduced enclosure footprint in crowded control rooms. Compatibility with water and wastewater pump cascades and multipump arrangements enables scalable control across plant sections. With CE compliance and robust protection ratings, the drive remains reliable in sanitary and industrial environments. This combination supports long service life, predictable maintenance cycles, and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Plan for a wall-mounted setup with the default IP21 enclosure, and evaluate IP55 or flange mounting for harsher environments. Ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation, route motor cables away from EMI sources, and use Drive Composer for configuration. Hand-Off-Auto supports quick, low-risk handovers and reduces on-site commissioning time.
Sensorless flow estimation uses motor characteristics to infer flow, eliminating the need for external flow meters in many installations. This reduces instrumentation costs, simplifies wiring, and maintains accurate control during pump start/stop cycles. In wastewater and water networks, it improves efficiency and protects against overpumping.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 supports multipump control and level control to manage cascaded pumping scenarios. This enables coordinated starts, avoids overflow, and maintains desired tank levels across varying demand. It also simplifies configuration in plants with seasonal or variable flow.
The drive ships with CE compliance and an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange-mount options available for higher protection. Deployment can include Bluetooth or Drive Composer for remote diagnostics. These features help meet regulatory requirements while ensuring reliable operation in water and wastewater settings.
Energy-saving features and the built-in energy calculator enable data-backed ROI projections. Reduced pump wear, fewer dry-run incidents, and easier commissioning lower maintenance costs and downtime. Over time, this translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster payback in municipal and industrial pumping projects.
