Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268573 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 estimation using motor data, reducing the need for external sensors and cutting setup time. This lowers hardware costs and simplifies maintenance while improving process visibility for water and wastewater networks. Multipump control optimizes sequencing across multiple pumps, smoothing demand, reducing peak currents, and extending pump life in lift stations and treatment skids. Level control ensures pumps respond to changing tank levels, preventing over- or under-fill conditions that can compromise process stability and energy use. Dry run protection guards mechanical wear by shutting the pump down when flow is insufficient, minimizing unscheduled outages. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps reduce water hammer and mechanical stress during start-up, protecting pipes and fittings and shortening commissioning. The built-in energy calculator translates runtime data into tangible savings, supporting budget approvals and ROI analyses for municipal projects. Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer PC tool, and Bluetooth panel options streamline installation, diagnostics, and remote support, delivering faster deployment and less on-site risk. IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 option and flange-mount variants offer installation flexibility in confined spaces or outdoor environments, helping contractors meet site-specific requirements without compromising protection or performance.

FAQs
Install the wall-mounted ACQ580 in a suitable indoor or outdoor location using the IP21 standard enclosure or IP55 variant if exposed to harsher environments. Ensure 600 V supply compatibility, mount on a solid surface, and connect Hand-Off-Auto controls or Drive Composer PC tool for commissioning. Plan for remote panel options if Bluetooth is needed for diagnostics.
Key features include sensorless flow calculation to infer discharge, multipump control to optimize sequencing, level control to balance storage with demand, and an energy calculator to quantify savings. Together these reduce energy use, extend pump life, and simplify compliance with utility performance targets.
Yes. Multipump control enables coordinated sequencing across multiple pumps, improving duty cycle efficiency and reducing peak currents. Level sensing and dry-run protection further enhance reliability in lift stations and treatment skids, while quick ramps minimize mechanical stress during transitions.
The standard enclosure is IP21, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available. This provides flexible mounting on walls and integration with plant skids while maintaining protection in typical water and wastewater environments.
Energy savings are driven by the built-in energy calculator and efficient pump operation, while dry-run protection and sensorless control reduce maintenance needs and unplanned downtime. The Hand-Off-Auto interface and Drive Composer PC tool speed up commissioning, diagnostics, and future upgrades for a favorable total cost of ownership.
