Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000034629 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 provides pump flow estimates without additional meters, enabling precise VFD-based control that cuts energy use and wear, improving system reliability in municipal and industrial water networks. Business impact: lower energy bills, extended pump life, and simplified instrumentation; Application: water treatment plants and lift stations where flow varies. Multipump control coordinates sequential or parallel pumping, reducing peak current, preventing cross-pump conflicts, and boosting overall efficiency in wastewater stations. Business impact: fewer starts/stops, smoother pressure management, and reduced electrical stress; Application: duplicate or staged pump configurations. Level control and dry-run protection prevent dry running and overflow, safeguarding pumps and reducing maintenance events. Soft pipe fill and quick ramp functions minimize surge, protecting piping and valves during ramp-up. Business impact: lower maintenance, fewer leaks, and longer asset life; Application: new builds and retrofit projects. Built-in energy calculator visualizes savings, supporting ROI analysis and energy compliance reporting. Business impact: faster capital approvals and better budgeting; Application: utility-scale pumping projects. Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel streamline commissioning and ongoing operation. Business impact: faster startup, simplified diagnostics, and remote monitoring. Application: field deployment, OEM projects, and municipal installations.

FAQs
IP21 is the standard indoor enclosure suitable for protected environments, while IP55 provides dust and water ingress protection for harsher or outdoor conditions. Choosing IP55 allows wall-mounted installation in wetter areas, but may require consideration of cooling and enclosure clearance. Assess ambient temperature, ingress protection needs, and local electrical codes to ensure reliable operation and long-term uptime.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow rates from motor data, eliminating the need for separate flow meters in many layouts. This enables accurate pump speed control, improved energy efficiency, and reduced instrumentation costs. In variable-flow networks, it supports stable head and pressure management, minimizing surges and extending pump life.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 supports multipump control, enabling coordinated operation of multiple pumps to satisfy demand while minimizing peak current. This reduces electrical stress and energy consumption in lift stations or treatment facilities. It also simplifies sequencing, provides smoother transitions between pumps, and improves overall system reliability during high-demand events.
The drive carries CE certification for regulatory compliance and built-in protections such as dry-run protection and soft-start ramps. EN standards and IP-rated enclosures align with typical water and wastewater plant requirements. Optional IP55 and flange-mount configurations expand installation versatility, helping you meet site-specific codes and environmental conditions.
ROI derives from measurable energy savings, reduced pump wear, and lower maintenance needs due to protective features and intelligent control. The integrated energy calculator supports rapid payback calculations, while Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth enable streamlined commissioning and remote monitoring, lowering operational costs and downtime over the asset life.
