Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268610 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 and multipump control deliver precise pump performance without external sensors, reducing instrumentation and energy use. This capability translates into lower operating costs and smoother transitions between pumps, especially in variable-demand water and wastewater systems. Use it to coordinate multiple pumps in treatment plants or lift stations, ensuring consistent flow and reduced wear. Level control, dry run protection, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps improve equipment longevity and protect against damage from dry running or sudden starts. The business impact is lower maintenance needs and fewer unscheduled outages, which is particularly valuable in raw water intake and wastewater facilities with remote or difficult access. Intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel streamline startup, commissioning, and troubleshooting. This reduces operator training time and minimizes human error, enabling rapid deployment in field sites and remote installations. The ABB solution supports scalable control architectures from single-pump to multi-pump configurations, aligning with plant automation standards and maintenance contracts. Built-in energy calculator visualizes energy savings, providing a clear ROI case for process improvements and budget planning. It helps engineers quantify actual savings from VFD-driven pumping and reduced idle runs, aiding approvals and ongoing optimization. Compact wall-mounted design with IP21 standard and optional IP55 or flange mounting simplifies installation and service in constrained spaces while meeting industry safety requirements. This flexibility supports retrofits and new builds across small to mid-sized water utilities and wastewater facilities. Compatibility with ABB pump controls and standard interfaces ensures easy integration with existing automation networks and drives, reducing project risk and enabling smoother handover to operations.

FAQs
Standard is IP21 wall-mounted enclosure suitable for wall installations in pump rooms or service corridors. Optional IP55 flange-mounting units provide enhanced protection in harsher environments. These options enable compact layouts, easier cable routing, and straightforward retrofits in water and wastewater facilities, reducing civil works and installation time while maintaining reliability.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow rates using motor parameters, eliminating the need for external flow meters and reducing installation costs. Multipump control coordinates multiple pumps for optimized start/stop sequencing. Dry run protection detects no flow to prevent damage when a pump runs dry, safeguarding bearings and impellers and lowering maintenance costs.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 supports multipump control and level control, enabling coordinated operation of several pumps in lift stations or treatment facilities. This reduces surge events, balances head pressure, and improves overall process stability, making it a solid fit for multi-pump wastewater applications where reliability and energy efficiency are critical.
The drive comes with CE certification as standard, ensuring compliance with essential health, safety, and environmental requirements. It is offered in an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange mounting options available for enhanced protection in tougher environments, aligning with common industrial safety expectations in water and wastewater projects.
Commissioning is aided by the Hand-Off-Auto control panel and the Drive Composer PC tool, with an optional Bluetooth control panel for field diagnostics. An integrated energy calculator visualizes anticipated savings from optimized pump operation, supporting ROI calculations and ongoing optimization for plant personnel and maintenance teams.
