Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000222434 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 delivers accurate pump performance without extra sensors, reducing hardware costs while improving energy efficiency in water and wastewater pumping. The business impact is lower capital expenditure and reduced maintenance complexity, with straightforward commissioning using familiar ABB interfaces. Application: plant-wide pump trains and duty-standby configurations benefit from smoother start/stop and optimized flow control. Multipump control consolidates control logic for multiple pumps, minimizing headroom issues and enabling coordinated sequencing that reduces peak current and wear. This translates to longer pump life and lower energy spikes in treatment facilities. Level control and dry run protection prevent dry-running damage and tank overfill, decreasing maintenance events and preventing process upsets in clarifiers and basins. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps improve fill dynamics, reducing surge pressures and warranty-relevant incidents. Built-in energy calculator quantifies savings, supporting ROI tracking across seasonal demand changes. Compatibility with Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel simplifies commissioning, training, and remote diagnostics in field deployments.
