Built-in sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, and a practical energy calculator enable efficient operations, while the Hand-Off-Auto control panel and Drive Composer PC tool simplify commissioning. The compact form factor supports space-constrained plant rooms, and the integrated features deliver improved uptime and lower operating costs for utilities and industrial water applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268931 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 eliminates the need for external flow meters, reducing installation complexity and cost while improving control accuracy for variable-demand pumping applications. This translates to lower energy consumption and steadier flow in water and wastewater networks. Multipump control optimizes sequencing across multiple pumps, delivering smoother transitions, reduced wear, and lower electrical peak demand in duty-cycle mismatches. Level control and dry-run protection safeguard pumps from running dry, extending equipment life and minimizing unscheduled downtime in lift stations. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps minimize hydraulic stress during start-up, reducing mechanical wear and water hammer risks in municipal systems. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings opportunities, supporting continuous optimization and regulatory compliance. An intuitive Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel streamline commissioning, diagnostics, and retrofit projects, accelerating time-to-service. Compatibility with IP21 standard enclosure initially, with IP55 and flange-mount options expanding installation flexibility in harsher environments and space-constrained facilities. Overall, the drive delivers measurable improvements in efficiency, reliability, and total cost of ownership for water utilities and industrial pumping applications.

FAQs
The drive is designed for wall mounting with IP21 enclosure by default and offers optional IP55 and flange mounting accessories for harsher environments or space-constrained installations. This provides flexibility for plant layout and protects the drive in outdoor or semi-exposed pump rooms while maintaining easy access for maintenance and commissioning.
Key performance specifications include a 600 V AC input rating, integrated sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, dry-run protection, soft pipe fill, quick ramp functionality, and an energy calculator. These features enable precise pump control, reduced energy consumption, and reliable operation across variable demand and multiple-pump setups.
Yes, sensorless flow calculation is built in, allowing accurate pump control without external flow sensors. This reduces installation costs, minimizes maintenance, and improves efficiency by optimizing pump speed in real-time, which lowers energy use and reduces wear in wastewater and water pumping systems.
The drive adheres to CE safety standards and is available in an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange-mount options for more demanding environments. These certifications and ratings support compliance with European safety requirements and provide protection suitable for municipal and industrial pump installations.
ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized pump operation, reduced downtime due to dry-run protection and level control, and simplified commissioning via Drive Composer and intuitive controls. Long-term maintenance costs are lowered through fewer sensors required for flow measurement, easier diagnostics, and flexible installation options that fit existing infrastructure.
