Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000034607 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 enables precise pump modulation without external sensors. This technology reduces instrumentation costs while delivering energy savings through tighter control of flow and head, especially at varying loads. It is particularly effective in water and wastewater networks where demand fluctuates and maintaining stable pressure is critical. Multipump control and level control coordinate multiple pumps to meet demand without unnecessary cycling. The business impact is longer pump life, lower maintenance, and more predictable performance across variable operating conditions. This capability fits installations such as lift stations and reservoir systems where coordinated pumping improves reliability. Soft pipe fill and dry run protection prevent hydraulic shock and pump damage during startup or transitions. The result is reduced maintenance costs, fewer unplanned outages, and safer startup sequences. These features are ideal for vertical piping networks and long-run pumping where abrupt starts historically challenge system stability. Quick ramps minimize torque transients during starts, reducing electrical stress and energy spikes. The outcome is smoother operation, lower wear, and easier coordination with upstream controls. This is particularly beneficial in large centrifugal pumps and high-flow applications within water networks. An integrated energy calculator visualizes potential savings, supporting ROI analyses and energy-management initiatives. By quantifying efficiency gains in real time, operators can justify upgrades and optimize maintenance intervals. This capability aligns with utility programs targeting sustainable water management and lifecycle cost reduction. Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel streamline commissioning and field diagnostics. Operators gain faster deployment, reduced set-up errors, and remote visibility for performance tuning. Combined with wall-mounted or flange-mounted installation options, this drives project timelines and lowers total cost of ownership. Flexible mounting options and rugged enclosure variants allow installation in a range of environments. The standard IP21 offering and IP55-ready options support both indoor walls and protected outdoor spaces. This adaptability reduces retrofitting risk and supports scalable deployments across processing plants.

FAQs
The drive is designed as a wall-mounted unit with standard IP21 protection, ideal for indoor installations in electrical rooms. IP55 variants and flange mounting options are available for harsher environments or restricted spaces. This flexibility simplifies retrofits and new builds, enabling quick commissioning with Hand-Off-Auto and Drive Composer. It supports smooth integration with existing PLCs and plant networks.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow rate and head without external sensors by analyzing motor dynamics. The business impact is tighter control, reduced instrumentation costs, and energy savings through optimized speed profiles. In wastewater and water networks, this translates to stable flow with lower energy peaks and improved pump life while supporting compliant operation in variable load conditions.
Yes. The ACQ580-01-293A-4 supports multipump control, enabling coordinated operation across several pumps to meet fluctuating demand without excessive cycling. This reduces start-stop wear and ensures consistent head delivery. For lift stations and pumping stations, the integrated controls simplify sequencing, while compatibility with the Hand-Off-Auto panel and Drive Composer tools streamlines commissioning and ongoing diagnostics.
The ACQ580-01-293A-4 is designed for industrial reliability with IP21 standard enclosure and IP55 options for harsher environments, supporting safe operation in the field. The device is CE-marked to align with European regulatory expectations for electrical equipment. Together, these protections and certifications help ensure compliance, safety, and durability in water and wastewater applications.
ROI is driven by measurable energy savings, reduced maintenance, and longer pump life from protective features like dry-run protection and soft-start ramps. ABB provides commissioning support via Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer, and optional Bluetooth tools, plus remote diagnostics. Planning a phased rollout or retrofit can lower total cost of ownership while delivering compliant, reliable pumping performance.
