Part Number: 3AUA0000222433
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-01-180A-4+B056 drive is a low-voltage wall-mounted controller for efficient water and wastewater pumping. Operators struggle with energy waste, suboptimal pump sequencing, and limited sensorless flow diagnostics. It carries IP21 protection as standard, with IP55 flange mounting options, and UL-listed for compliant operation. By leveraging the built-in energy calculator and intuitive Hand-Off-Auto panel, it helps reduce operating costs while simplifying maintenance and compliance across municipal and industrial pumping stations. Designed for demanding water treatment and distribution environments, this drive supports regulatory compliance, predictive maintenance, and scalable control architecture. For engineers and maintenance teams, it streamlines commissioning with Drive Composer and remote diagnostics via optional Bluetooth.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000222433 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 empowers the drive to estimate flow rates from motor current and speed without external sensors. This reduces instrumentation costs and simplifies installation while improving start/stop responsiveness and overall pump control accuracy. In water utilities and wastewater stations, the result is smoother demand matching and faster adaptation to changing hydraulics. Multipump control coordinates two or more pumps, sequencing loads to balance head pressure and minimize energy use. This lowers peak demand, reduces system wear from simultaneous starts, and extends motor life in treatment plants and distribution networks. Level control and dry run protection safeguard pump operation, preventing dry-running and maintaining tank levels to reduce downtime and equipment wear in lift stations and aeration basins. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps minimize water hammer and voltage surges during startup, protecting piping and valves and enabling longer equipment life. Energy-manager features quantify savings from speed modulation for ROI reporting, while intuitive interfaces support faster commissioning. Built-in energy calculator, Hand-Off-Auto panel, and Drive Composer integration empower maintenance teams to drive performance across municipal and industrial pumping systems.

FAQs
The ABB ACQ580-01-180A-4+B056 is designed for water and wastewater pumping applications, including municipal distribution, lift stations, and treatment plants. It is a wall-mounted LV drive with IP21 protection standard and IP55 option for more demanding environments, making it suitable for compact pump rooms and retrofit projects where space is at a premium.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates real-time flow from motor current and speed, eliminating the need for external sensors. This reduces installation costs and potential sensor faults while improving control accuracy, enabling tighter pump matching to demand and significant energy savings in variable-flow applications typical of water utilities and wastewater treatment.
Yes. The drive supports multipump control to coordinate sequencing and load sharing, which stabilizes head pressure and avoids simultaneous starts. This reduces peak electrical demand, extends pump life, and enhances reliability in stations with multiple pumps serving fluctuating water and wastewater flows.
The drive is UL-listed for compliant operation and ships with IP21 protection as standard, with IP55 and flange-mount options available for harsher environments. While CE certification is commonly expected on ABB products, this data confirms IP ratings and UL listing as key certifications for safe, compliant operation in water applications.
ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized motor speed and reduced pump wear, aided by the energy calculator and multipump coordination. Maintenance benefits include fewer external sensors, easier commissioning with Drive Composer, remote diagnostics via Bluetooth, and better protection against dry runs, all contributing to lower total cost of ownership in water and wastewater networks.
