Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000038999 ABB: ACH580 HVAC drive offering has all key features built-in to control fans, pumps and compressors, and more complex equipment like air-handling units and chillers, ensuring smooth, energy-efficient operation of your HVAC systems in normal and mission-critical situations. The built-in features significantly reduce installation time and the intuitive control panel with an HVAC-specific primary settings menu and help assistants makes startup, commissioning and operation easy. The optional Bluetooth=C2=AE capability enables the commissioning and monitoring of the drive from a distance. The ACH580-01 comes in IP21 enclosure and can be installed on the wall as standard. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Built-in HVAC-specific control logic optimizes fan, pump, and compressor duty cycles, delivering smooth operation even during startup transients. This targeted control reduces overshoot, minimizes energy waste, and simplifies sequence management for complex air handling equipment. In practice, this means reliable performance in AHUs, chillers, and packaged rooftop units with fewer field adjustments and lower risk of mis-tuning. The HVAC-focused control panel features a dedicated primary settings menu and help assistants that speed commissioning and reduce setup errors. Operators benefit from clear guidance during parameter selection, while technicians complete initial programming more quickly and with fewer callbacks. This translates into shorter project timelines and improved first-pass startup success. Optional Bluetooth capability enables commissioning and monitoring from a distance, cutting on-site visits during the critical startup phase. Remote access supports fault diagnostics and parameter optimization without travel, helping service teams stay productive. For multi-site deployments, remote commissioning accelerates validation and ongoing performance tuning. IP21 enclosure is standard on the ACH580, with IP55 and flange mounting options available to match environmental requirements. This flexibility supports easy wall installation in equipment rooms or around plant floors without extra housings. When protection and installation constraints vary, these options simplify compliance and reduce hardware costs. Pn 1.1 kW at 400 V with a current rating of 3.3 A provides a compact footprint suitable for mid-size HVAC loads such as fans and small pumps. The compact form factors also ease wiring, conduit routing, and cabinet planning, lowering installation labor and short-circuit risk. Integration with ducted or air-handling configurations becomes straightforward, supporting scalable deployments. UL-listed performance ensures safety compliance and helps satisfy audits and building codes that reference motor drive standards. The drive supports energy efficiency targets through precise motor control and reduced peak demand. For OEMs and integrators, this means faster approvals and smoother integration into existing control architectures. Compatibility with building management systems and common industrial networks is supported through straightforward wiring and familiar control logic. Real-world installations have shown measurable energy savings, shorter commissioning cycles, and improved reliability in HVAC fleets when using ACH580.
