Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001005221 ABB: Designed for harsh locations, the ACS580-01 Type 4X / IP66 drive can withstand unfriendly environments with ease. The drive is resistant to various weather conditions from the snows of winter to the heat of summer. Indoors, it is resistant to water spray, dirt and chemicals and is NSF 169 certified for food splash zones. This drive is ideal for food and beverage, agriculture, livestock applications and for coastal areas. Versatile and straightforward settings menu and assistants enable fast setup, commissioning, use and maintenance, while rugged and robust design makes it a good fit for various environments. With the ACS580 drives you can easily take full control of your processes to comprehensively manage your plant.
Rugged IP66 / Type 4X enclosure provides dependable operation in harsh locations, from snowy winters to hot summers. This protection minimizes water ingress, dirt, and chemical exposure, reducing unplanned downtime in washdown lines, coastal facilities, and outdoor deployments. Versatile settings menus and guided assistants shorten commissioning time and simplify ongoing maintenance. In practice, engineers spend less time programming and more time optimizing processes, which lowers training costs and accelerates time-to-value. Wall-mount form factor saves panel space and eases retrofits in crowded automation cabinets. The compact footprint also simplifies installation along conveyors and in remote locations. With UL-listed 2.1 HP output and 1 A rating, the drive delivers robust motor control for medium loads without overheating. This translates to improved process stability and lower energy consumption across continuous operation. NSF 169 certification supports food safety and hygienic cleaning in food & beverage environments. CE compliance and IP66/4X protection reassure regulatory alignment and reliable service in livestock, agriculture, and coastal installations. Rugged design reduces maintenance cycles and spare parts costs, delivering measurable ROI over plant lifetime. Its compatibility with existing ABB ACS580 ecosystems helps preserve investment and simplify spare parts planning.

FAQs
When installing this wall-mounted drive in harsh environments, ensure proper panel mounting to maintain IP66/Type 4X protection, plan for secure cable entry points and drainage where applicable, and verify cleanability in washdown zones. Position the unit to minimize direct exposure to aggressive chemicals and temperature swings, while keeping service access clear for maintenance and diagnostics.
IP66 Type 4X protection shields the drive against powerful water jets, dust, and corrosion in washdown and coastal settings. This reduces the risk of ingress-related faults, supports longer service intervals, and keeps drive performance stable during frequent cleaning cycles, enhancing uptime and overall equipment effectiveness in demanding environments.
Yes. NSF 169 certification confirms the drive’s suitability for use in food splash zones and hygienic cleaning regimes. It helps facilities comply with food safety and sanitation requirements, enabling safer operation in processing lines, packing areas, and other food-related environments without compromising performance.
The ROI stems from higher uptime due to rugged IP66/4X protection, reduced maintenance and cleaning downtime, and energy-efficient motor control. In coastal or livestock facilities, this translates to fewer unscheduled outages, lower consumable costs, and a longer service life, improving total cost of ownership over the plant lifecycle.
Key certifications include IP66 protection, Type 4X enclosure, CE compliance, and NSF 169 for hygienic environments. These align the drive with industry standards for safety, reliability, and sanitation, simplifying regulatory approvals for installations in food, beverage, agriculture, and coastal applications.
