The built-in energy calculator visualizes the energy savings achieved with the use of the drive. The ACQ580-01 variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Feature → Business Impact → Application. Sensorless flow calculation helps optimize pump performance without external sensors, reducing maintenance costs and enabling more precise control of water flow in wastewater facilities. This translates to energy savings and lower operational expenses in municipal pumping stations and industrial water systems. Multipump control and level control minimize pump cycling and prevent overflows, improving reliability in variable demand scenarios such as surge periods or seasonal flows. Implementing these features reduces wear and tear, extending pump life and lowering replacement costs. Dry run protection combined with soft pipe fill and quick ramps protects equipment during startups, delivering smoother ramping profiles and reducing mechanical stress. The Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel simplify commissioning, SCADA integration, and remote diagnostics, shortening downtime and speeding maintenance cycles. The built-in energy calculator provides a clear ROI, supporting business cases for upgrades in water/wastewater operations and plant-wide automation initiatives. Installation advantages include wall-mount compatibility and options for IP55, easing retrofit into existing facilities while maintaining strict enclosure standards and safety compliance.
