It delivers precise motor control with built‑in pump features and a compact footprint, ideal where space is at a premium. Operators often struggle with energy waste, unplanned downtime, and complex commissioning; this drive addresses those pain points with sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and level management. The standard IP21 enclosure supports wall mounting, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available for harsher environments. It also aligns with established safety and performance expectations, while offering an energy calculator and a user-friendly Hand‑Off‑Auto panel for rapid commissioning. Optional Drive Composer and Bluetooth control further streamline maintenance and ROI discussions.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000204881 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 IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Sensorless flow calculation → Reduces hardware and maintenance cost by eliminating flow meters; in water and wastewater pumping, it enables accurate hydraulic control even where sensor access is limited. Multipump control and level control → Optimizes pump duty cycles and prevents overflow, lowering energy use and reducing system wear in municipal and industrial pumping stations. Soft pipe fill and dry run protection → Minimizes water hammer and protects impellers, extending pump life and reducing unscheduled downtime during start-up. Quick ramps and an integrated energy calculator → Accelerates commissioning while delivering verifiable energy savings across varying duty cycles, improving ROI. Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel → Speed up setup, enable remote diagnostics, and simplify field service. IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 option and flange mounting → Installation flexibility for wall or floor mounting in compact, constrained spaces while supporting robust protection when configured.

FAQs
This LV AC wall-mounted drive is designed for water and wastewater pumping and supports a 460 V input with up to 23 A. It is wall-mountable with IP21 as standard and IP55 option available, allowing straightforward integration into existing stations and retrofit projects. Use Drive Composer for configuration and confirm enclosure choices align with site protection needs.
Key features include sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, dry run protection, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps. Together, they reduce energy consumption, prevent pump wear, and improve system stability. In practice, this enables precise head and flow management in municipal and industrial pumping while simplifying startup and ongoing operation.
Best-fit applications are water utilities, wastewater treatment plants, and booster stations where compact, reliable, and energy-efficient pumping is essential. The built-in pump-specific logic supports multi-pump sequencing, level-based control, and efficient energy use, delivering ROI in daily operations and capital projects alike.
The product data specifies an IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 and flange mounting options, enabling installation in varied environmental conditions. While CE/SIL details aren’t listed here, the IP ratings and standard-compliant design support regulatory alignment, and the IP55 option broadens protection for harsher environments.
ROI is enhanced by measurable energy savings from sensorless control and efficient ramps, reduced downtime from dry run protection, and faster commissioning via Hand-Off-Auto and Drive Composer. Long-term costs decrease through simplified diagnostics, fewer field sensors, and flexible installation that minimizes retrofitting work.
