Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000940769 ABB: The ACH531 drive offering has all key features built-in to control fans, pumps and compressors, and more complex equipment like air-handling units and chillers, ensuring a smooth, energy-efficient operation of your HVAC systems in normal and mission-critical situations. The built-in features significantly reduce installation time and the standard basic control panel can make startup, commissioning, and operation easy. The optional Bluetooth=C2=AE capability enables the commissioning and monitoring of the drive from a distance. The ACH531-01 comes in an IP20 enclosure and can be installed on the wall as standard.
Feature: Built-in control for fans, pumps, and compressors enables centralized, single-drive management of HVAC loads, reducing external controller complexity and streamlining alarm handling. Business Impact: This tight integration reduces installation time and simplifies startup, cutting labor costs, minimizing commissioning risk, and improving project predictability. Application: Use ACH531-01-05A7-4+X1663 to intelligently modulate airflow, pumping, and cooling loads in air-handling units, chillers, and other HVAC equipment, ensuring stable operation across varying loads. Feature: IP20 enclosure and wall-mount design simplify installation in HVAC closets and service rooms, reducing clearance requirements and enabling neater wiring layouts. Business Impact: Reduces enclosure footprint, minimizes wiring, lowers installation risk, and accelerates site acceptance testing. Application: Suitable for new builds and retrofit projects where a compact, durable drive is required for indoor wall mounting of AHU fans, pumps, and compact HVAC equipment in constrained mechanical rooms. Feature: Built-in startup and commissioning tools streamline configuration, enabling auto-tuning routines and sensor checks for quick setup. Business Impact: Shortens time-to-operational readiness, lowers misconfiguration risk, and improves technician confidence during migrations. Application: Effective for field starts in mechanical rooms, data centers, and commercial buildings where downtime is costly and rapid ramp-up is essential. Feature: Bluetooth capability (optional) enables remote commissioning and ongoing monitoring without direct site visits. Business Impact: Improves maintenance planning, reduces on-site visits, supports proactive fault detection, and enables centralized fleet management across multiple sites. Application: Useful for distributed facilities or OEM installations across multiple campuses where centralized control improves service continuity. Feature: Energy-efficient operation with smooth control for variable-speed loads delivers steady torque and reduced surge. Business Impact: Lowers energy consumption and operating costs while maintaining system performance, reliability, and load-responsive behavior. Application: Critical for HVAC loops, air-handling units, and chillers that require precise speed control to meet indoor air quality and occupant comfort targets across varying building zones.
