Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000532308 ABB: The ACQ580-04 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 drive module 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 ACQ580-04 drive module comes in IP00 enclosure as standard for cabinet installation. Also, IP20 enclosure is available.
Sensorless flow calculation enables the drive to estimate flow rates without external sensors, reducing wiring, parts, and maintenance. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and quicker troubleshooting for water and wastewater pumping. Ideal applications include lift stations and treatment plant inflow/outflow where sensor reliability is critical. Dry run protection detects a stalled or cavitating pump before damage occurs, protecting equipment and reducing unplanned downtime. Level control and multipump control manage tank levels and sequencing across multiple pumps, matching system demand and avoiding surge conditions. Soft pipe fill and rapid ramping reduce surge pressures during start-up, extending motor life and reducing energy spikes. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings, helping engineers justify upgrades to management. The drive supports intuitive field configuration with Drive Composer, easy diagnostics, and an optional Bluetooth panel for service teams. Compatibility with ABB motors and scalable architecture support growing systems while simplifying maintenance and upgrades.
