Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268962 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 improves pump efficiency by matching motor speed to actual system demand, reducing energy use and wear. This translates to lower operating costs and longer service intervals in municipal water facilities and wastewater plants. Multipump control enables coordinated sequencing and soft-start ramping, cutting start-up shocks and extending pump life while meeting fluctuating demand. Level control and dry run protection protect pumps from damage in variable head conditions, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs. Quick ramps and soft pipe fill reduce water hammer during transitions, preserving piping and valves, especially in aging networks. The built-in energy calculator quantifies savings for management reporting and regulatory audits, supporting ROI demonstrations. Intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel simplify commissioning and remote diagnostics, reducing on-site time and risk during installation. IP21 standard housing with IP55 variants offers installation flexibility in plant rooms and exterior environments, while the compact wall-mount design saves valuable panel space. Further, compatibility with existing ABB ecosystem enables seamless integration with plant-wide automation architectures and predictive maintenance programs, improving uptime and data-driven decision making in water utilities. Configuration and commissioning are streamlined through the Drive Composer PC tool, which provides project templates, parameter validation, and fault tracing, reducing commissioning time in large fleets. The compact wall-mount form factor supports retrofits in space-constrained pump stations, basements, or outdoor kiosks when paired with IP55 variants. Comprehensive documentation and on-site training materials help operations staff deploy safely and maintain peak performance with minimal disruption. In addition, OEMs benefit from standardized interfaces for easy integration with plant-wide SCADA and asset management systems.

FAQs
The ACQ580-01 supports coordinated multipump control, allowing sequencing and soft-start transitions across multiple pumps. This reduces electrical stress, minimizes peak demand, and lowers downtime during switching. In municipal or industrial pumping stations, the drive enables efficient, scalable control without requiring extensive retrofit. It is compatible with ABB automation ecosystems and can be integrated with existing SCADA interfaces for centralized monitoring.
Sensorless flow calculation derives flow estimates from motor performance, eliminating additional flow sensors and reducing installation complexity. It enables real-time energy accounting and responsive speed control to demand, which translates into measurable energy savings and lower operating costs. In wastewater applications, accurate control helps maintain head and flow during variable loads, improving treatment consistency.
Standard IP21 enclosures support indoor wall mounting, while IP55 variants expand installation options to harsher environments and flange-mount configurations. The compact footprint saves panel space and simplifies wiring, and the built-in interface options—Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer PC tool, and Bluetooth panel—accelerate commissioning and field diagnostics. These choices make retrofits easier and reduce downtime during upgrades.
CE compliance and UL listing accompany IP ratings to meet regulatory and safety requirements in water facilities. The drive includes dry run protection, quick ramping, and protective features to guard pumps against damage during startup and head changes. Remote diagnostics via Drive Composer and Bluetooth support ongoing compliance and faster service.
ROI is driven by energy savings from sensorless control, reduced pump wear, and fewer site visits. The built-in diagnostics and Drive Composer support proactive maintenance, minimizing mean time to repair. Over time, higher reliability, extended pump life, and predictable operating costs contribute to a lower total cost of ownership in water utilities.
