Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000034627 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Sensorless flow calculation enables accurate water metering and pump matching without external sensors, reducing hardware costs and improving system efficiency in municipal and industrial pumping stations. The result is lower energy consumption and extended pump life, especially in variable-demand scenarios seen in wastewater treatment plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Multipump control supports coordinated operation of multiple pumps, enabling smooth sequencing, reduced relay wear, and improved pressure management in shared piping networks. This is ideal for treatment facilities where demand varies seasonally or during peak flows. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Level control and soft pipe fill provide gentle, controlled pump start/stop sequences, minimizing surge events and pipe stress; this is critical for long-term reliability in water distribution and flood-control projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dry run protection and quick ramps protect pumps from dry operation and abrupt accelerations, lowering maintenance costs and preventing costly downtime in remote facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in energy calculator visualizes savings potential, supporting continuous improvement programs and compliance with energy-use regulations in utilities and industrial plants. The Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth-panel option streamline commissioning, troubleshooting, and remote monitoring, reducing on-site visits and accelerating project delivery. These features collectively address objections about complexity, installation footprint, and total cost of ownership, while enabling plug-and-play integration with ABB or third-party automation architectures and motor ratings.

FAQs
Yes. The drive is designed for LV motors up to 90 kW at 400 V, with compatible interfaces for ABB and select third-party automation setups. It supports standard control schemes via Hand-Off-Auto and Drive Composer, simplifying integration into existing PLC or SCADA environments while maintaining safe, code-compliant operation.
Key features include sensorless flow calculation for accurate pump performance without extra sensors, multipump control for coordinated operation, level control for automatic monitoring, soft start to reduce electrical and mechanical stress, and dry-run protection to prevent motor damage during low-water conditions.
Absolutely. The ACQ580-01-169A-4+B056 is specifically geared for water and wastewater use cases, offering robust enclosure options (IP21 standard with IP55 variants available) and pump-focused features that enhance reliability, energy efficiency, and maintenance planning in municipal plants and treatment facilities.
The drive is designed to meet standard industrial regulatory expectations with IP-rated enclosures (IP21 as standard; IP55 variants available) and CE-style conformity embedded in its design for global utility and wastewater industries. These protections help ensure safe operation in challenging environments.
Expect reduced energy consumption from optimized pump control, longer motor life due to soft-start and dry-run protection, and fewer on-site maintenance visits thanks to diagnostics via Drive Composer and the energy calculator. These factors together contribute to a faster payback and lower total cost of ownership in water utilities and processing facilities.
