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.
The ACQ580 combines sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection to deliver reliable pump control with minimal instrumentation. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings, enables targeted energy targets, and supports compliance with energy-efficiency programs. Its compact wall-mounted design with IP21 protection simplifies installation and reduces footprint, while optional IP55 and flange mounting expand site compatibility. Hand-Off-Auto operation, Drive Composer PC tool, and Bluetooth panel support accelerate commissioning and remote diagnostics. These features translate to lower energy use, longer pump life, and lower maintenance costs in water and wastewater applications. Industry insight shows that municipal and industrial pumping stations benefit from coordinated control and real-time energy analytics. Additionally, the drive's compatibility with standard 460 V electrical distribution simplifies procurement and inventory for utilities, and its compact form factor reduces panel space in new builds and retrofits. Industry best practices show that energy-focused drives improve asset utilization, extend pump life, and help meet water utility efficiency programs. Field pilots show measurable energy reductions and fewer unplanned outages when using sensorless flow control and multipump coordination. The energy calculator helps engineers benchmark performance, justify upgrades, and report improvements in efficiency KPIs to stakeholders. This data-driven approach supports ongoing optimization of water and wastewater pumping networks. Addressing common integration concerns, the ACQ580 provides straightforward parameterization and standard interfaces to work with legacy PLCs. Fieldbus options and clear commissioning workflows reduce engineering risk and rework, while the Drive Composer tool and Hand-Off-Auto mode support safe, staged migrations. In retrofit projects, the compact footprint minimizes panel space while preserving performance. Compatibility and installation are enhanced by the compact wall-mount design and straightforward wiring. The 460 V, 52 A rating aligns with common MCCs and distribution panels, reducing modification costs. Built-in quick ramps and dry-run protection minimize hydraulic shocks during startup, extending equipment life and lowering maintenance visits. Field pilots and early deployments show measurable energy reductions and fewer unplanned outages when using sensorless flow control and multipump coordination.

FAQs
Install the ACQ580 on a stable wall with clear access to wiring and cooling. The standard IP21 enclosure suits clean, indoors environments; ensure a 460 V supply at ~52 A and UL-listed configuration. If exposure to dust or moisture exists, consider IP55 or flange mounting. Commission with the Hand-Off-Auto panel and ABB Drive Composer.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow by motor and pump dynamics, reducing the need for external flow meters and simplifying installation. It enables precise pump control, minimizes throttling losses, and supports soft start/stop to reduce energy consumption. In wastewater and water applications, this translates to lower energy bills and extended pump life.
Yes. The ACQ580 offers multipump control, level control, and quick ramps to coordinate several pumps without external controllers. This enables staged operations, improves system reliability, and reduces motor wear. Its flexible enclosure options (IP21 standard; IP55 available) simplify installation in varying plant environments, while the built-in energy calculator supports energy targeting across multiple pumps.
Key certifications and ratings include UL-listed Pld labeling for 40 HP variants and IP21 protection in the standard enclosure, with IP55 and flange-mount options available for harsher environments. While CE certification specifics are not stated in the data, the drive is designed to meet industry safety and performance expectations, and can be integrated with ABB's Drive Composer workflow.
Using the ACQ580 drives energy efficiency, supported by the built-in energy calculator, potentially reducing energy bills through optimized pump curves and reduced running hours. Dry-run protection minimizes failed starts, while sensorless flow control reduces instrumentation needs. Combined with remote configuration via Drive Composer and Bluetooth options, maintenance cycles can be extended, decreasing operating costs.
