The extended feature set includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, dry run protection, soft pipe fill, quick ramps, and an impeller cleaning solution, all in a compact enclosure. It supports a standard IP21 enclosure with IP55 and flange mounting variants for tougher environments, enabling flexible installation across plant layouts. Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth enable faster commissioning and remote diagnostics, while an integrated energy calculator supports ongoing optimization and total cost of ownership improvements.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000034606 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 eliminates external flow meters, reducing installation costs and potential leaks, while enabling precise pump modulation and energy-efficient operation in variable-demand networks. Multipump control and level control coordinate multiple pumps to match demand, improving uptime, reducing wear, and simplifying plant automation for municipal and industrial pumping stations. Dry run protection and soft pipe fill mitigate cavitation and mechanical stress during startup and shutdown, extending impeller life and reducing maintenance cycles in wastewater lift stations. Quick ramps paired with the built-in energy calculator support smoother starts and verifiable energy savings, facilitating compliance with energy targets and cost reporting. Hand-Off-Auto operation, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth enable fast commissioning, remote diagnostics, and easy retrofits, while IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 and flange-mount options simplify installation in tight spaces and harsher environments.

FAQs
The drive combines sensorless flow calculation, multipump and level control, dry run protection, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps in a compact wall-mounted unit. This supports precise flow regulation, reduced cavitation, and improved energy efficiency for municipal and industrial pump stations, with straightforward commissioning via Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth.
Core features include sensorless flow calculation for accurate modulation, handling of multiple pumps (multipump control) guided by level sensing, dry-run protection to avoid dry starts, and soft-start ramps. Together these reduce energy use, extend impeller life, and lower maintenance costs in variable-demand networks.
Yes. The standard enclosure is IP21, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available for harsher environments or different installation layouts. This makes the drive adaptable to indoor plant rooms or outdoor-wet locations, while maintaining protection against dust and water ingress.
The drive is designed for water and wastewater applications with protective IP ratings (IP21/IP55 options) and CE-compliant expectations typical for ABB drives. It is engineered to meet industry reliability standards for critical pumping systems and to integrate with standard control panels and operator interfaces.
ROI is driven by reduced energy consumption due to precise flow control, lower maintenance from dry-run protection and impeller-cleaning features, and faster commissioning via Drive Composer and Bluetooth. In municipal and industrial pumps, these factors translate to lower operating costs and improved system availability over the life of the equipment.
