Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000049063 ABB: The ACQ580-04 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 drive module 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 ACQ580-04 drive module comes in IP00 enclosure as standard for cabinet installation. Also, IP20 enclosure is available
Sensorless flow calculation and energy-aware pump control are core features of the ACQ580-04. The business impact is a reduction in instrumentation costs while improving process visibility and control precision. This is especially valuable in water supply and wastewater pumping where flow rates vary and measurement challenges exist. Multipump control, level control, and soft pipe fill address system-level needs. By coordinating multiple pumps, the drive minimizes start-stop cycles and creates smoother flow profiles, which reduces wear and energy spikes. Level sensing and controlled fill sequences help prevent dry runs and backflow in basins, lift stations, and treatment plants. Dry run protection and quick ramps extend pump life and protect motors against common fault conditions. Quick ramp rates reduce inrush and mechanical stress during startup, while dry run detection prevents unnecessary motor operation when a line is empty. Together they deliver lower maintenance costs and higher equipment availability in critical pumping installations. Energy calculator and intuitive interfaces drive faster commissioning and ongoing optimization. The built-in energy calculator quantifies savings from efficient pumping, while Drive Composer simplifies parameterization, fault diagnosis, and curve matching. Hand-Off-Auto control panel enhances operator handover, and the optional Bluetooth control panel supports remote monitoring in field and shed environments. Compatibility and installation advantages include compact module size, cabinet-friendly IP00 enclosure with optional IP20, and easy integration with standard PLC/SCADA systems. The design aligns with industry best practices for water and wastewater applications, offering scalable expansion for growing facility demand. In practice, engineers report accelerated ROI through reduced energy use and lowered maintenance burden.

FAQs
Yes. The ABB ACQ580-04 is designed for cabinet installation with IP00 as standard and IP20 as an available option, enabling flexible placement in control panels and harsher environments. It remains compatible with common PLCs and SCADA interfaces, and installation benefits from Drive Composer, Hand-Off-Auto control, and the optional Bluetooth panel for field and remote commissioning.
The drive includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and an energy calculator. These features optimize flow, minimize throttling losses, and prevent pump damage, delivering measurable energy savings and reduced maintenance. In water and wastewater networks, the result is smoother operation, better process control, and a clear ROI.
Sensorless flow estimation eliminates the need for costly external flow sensors by using motor current feedback, while dry run protection guards against damaging dry starts. Together they improve reliability in wastewater pumping, lower maintenance costs, and extend pump life. The energy calculator then translates these gains into tangible efficiency metrics for asset managers.
Yes, the ACQ580-04 supports multipump control to coordinate several pumps within one installation. This avoids unnecessary simultaneous pumping and reduces peak energy demand, which is ideal for lift stations and variable-demand plants. When paired with Drive Composer, engineers can sequence operation, set alarms, and optimize start/stop logic for each pump.
For setup, use Drive Composer on a PC, the Hand-Off-Auto control panel, and the optional Bluetooth control panel for remote access. Drive Composer guides parameterization, fault diagnostics, and pump curve matching, while the H-O-A panel simplifies operator handover. These tools streamline PLC/SCADA integration and shorten commissioning timelines.
