Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268276 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 accurate flow estimation without external sensors, delivering energy efficiency and reduced instrumentation costs. This translates to reliable control of water pumps in municipal and industrial settings, where accurate flow management minimizes energy waste and wear. Multipump control and level control provide coordinated operation across multiple pumps, stabilizing flows, reducing cycling, and lowering maintenance. In wastewater and potable water systems, this feature supports tight process control and faster fault diagnosis. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps minimize water hammer and mechanical stress, extending pump life and reducing pipe and valve wear in demanding duty cycles. Dry run protection guards against dry running, safeguarding impellers and reducing unexpected downtime, while the built-in impeller cleaning capability helps maintain performance in challenging solids environments. The energy calculator visualizes savings, while an intuitive Hand-Off-Auto interface and Drive Composer PC tool simplify commissioning and ongoing optimization. IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 and flange mounting options enables flexible on-wall installation in varied plant environments. Compatibility with the optional Bluetooth control panel and on-board controls enhances remote monitoring and rapid troubleshooting, supporting faster project delivery and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
ABB 3AXD50000268276 ACQ580-01 drives are designed for wall mounting in water facilities. The standard IP21 enclosure suits indoor installations, while IP55 enclosure and flange mounting options extend use to harsher environments. Install on a clean, dry vertical surface with adequate ventilation, connect to a 208–240 V supply, and integrate with Hand-Off-Auto panels or Drive Composer for configuration and commissioning.
Sensorless flow calculation provides reliable flow estimates without external sensors, reducing instrumentation costs and installation complexity. It enhances pump control precision, enabling proper throttling and protection against cavitation or dry running. In municipal and industrial wastewater systems, this feature supports stable operations across varying demand while minimizing maintenance and downtime.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 family supports IP21 as standard with IP55 as an optional enclosure upgrade for harsher environments. When wall-mounted, ensure a suitable mounting surface with adequate ventilation and protection from dust and water jets. The IP55 option enables outdoor or damp indoor use while preserving service access for wiring and diagnostics.
The built-in energy calculator visualizes energy savings in real time by tracking motor speed, torque, and duty cycles, highlighting optimization opportunities. In water and wastewater pumping, it helps justify the investment by quantifying reduced kWh, lower peak demand, and longer pump life through soft-start and efficient flow control. It also supports energy audits and regulatory reporting.
Maintenance intervals are extended by reduced mechanical stress from soft starts and integrated protection features, while downtime decreases due to dry-run protection and motor protection. ROI is driven by energy savings, reduced maintenance, and longer pump life. The Drive Composer and Bluetooth options simplify commissioning and remote diagnostics, lowering field labor costs and enabling faster project delivery.
