ABB 3AXD50000268412 ACQ580-01 LV Wall-Mounted Drive - IP21
Part Number: 3AXD50000268412
Quick Summary
ACQ580-01 is a low-voltage LV wall-mounted drive that optimizes pump performance for water and wastewater applications. Many systems suffer energy waste and fluctuating flow, driving up operating costs and shortening pump life. This solution delivers sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection, helping you maintain steady flow and protection for critical assets. With CE certification and IP21 enclosure as standard (IP55 and flange mounting options available), it enables safe, compliant installation in challenging environments. By integrating an intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer, and an optional Bluetooth panel, you gain real-time visibility and straightforward deployment for reduced downtime and lower total cost of ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268412 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 pump performance without additional sensors, reducing initial capex and ongoing maintenance while delivering precise control in variable demand scenarios. This translates to fewer measurement devices, shorter install times, and lower total cost of ownership in municipal pumping stations and wastewater treatment facilities. Multi-pump control coordinates operation across several pumps, optimizing energy use and preventing simultaneous start-ups that spike electrical loads, which lowers energy bills and extends motor life in complex pumping networks. Level control and dry run protection safeguard equipment by preventing dry running and maintaining desired fluid levels, reducing pump wear and service intervals in reservoir and lift station applications. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps minimize water hammer and mechanical stress, improving system reliability and extending pipe and valve lifespan. The built-in energy calculator visualizes potential savings, supporting business cases for replacing legacy drives and enabling data-driven maintenance planning. Compatibility with Hand-Off-Auto panels, Drive Composer, and optional Bluetooth control simplifies commissioning and remote diagnostics, accelerating deployment timelines and reducing field service calls. These features collectively address regulatory compliance, energy efficiency targets, and mechanical integrity while supporting scalable, future-proof deployments in water and wastewater infrastructures.

FAQs
The ACQ580-01 is designed for wall mounting with an IP21 enclosure standard, and IP55 variants are available for harsher environments. Plan for proper enclosure placement, adequate ventilation, and cable routing to minimize thermal issues. Utilize the Hand-Off-Auto panel for quick field operation and Drive Composer for pre-commissioning to streamline installation and ensure a reliable start-up.
Sensorless flow calculation reduces dependence on external flow sensors, lowering hardware costs and potential failure points. It provides accurate pump control across varying loads, improves process stability, and minimizes maintenance needs. In wastewater systems, this translates to steadier flow, fewer calibration steps, and extended pump life due to optimized operating points.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 supports multipump control, enabling coordinated operation of several pumps to optimize energy use and prevent simultaneous starts. This is particularly valuable in lift stations and treatment plants where demand fluctuates, allowing tighter flow management, reduced peak electrical load, and improved system resilience against load transients.
The ACQ580-01 variant ships with CE certification and standard IP21 enclosure, with IP55 and flange mounting options available for enhanced protection. These features support regulatory compliance in EU markets and give you flexibility to meet site-specific environmental and installation requirements, while maintaining safe and reliable operation.
ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized pump control, reduced maintenance from sensorless flow and dry-run protection, and lower installation costs using a compact wall-mounted form factor. The built-in energy calculator helps quantify savings, while Drive Composer and the Hand-Off-Auto interface shorten commissioning and field service calls, delivering faster project payback.
