Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001005429 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.
IP66 Type 4X enclosure protects against water, dust and chemicals, delivering dramatic uptime gains in harsh environments such as outdoor locations, washdown-heavy plants, and coastal facilities. This rugged protection reduces enclosure openings and maintenance cycles, supporting reliable operation on conveyors, pumps, and processing lines while withstanding temperature fluctuations. NSF 169 certification enables food splash zone compatibility, reducing contamination risk and simplifying compliance in food and beverage applications. Combine this with UL-listed safety to ensure dependable performance across plant floors that require high hygiene standards, traceability, and robust protection during sanitation cycles. UL listing for a 32 Hp, 30 A configuration aligns with common motor loads in general purpose duty, enabling straightforward replacement or retrofit in existing lines. The packaging and agriculture sectors gain precise speed control, energy efficiency, and scalable torque management from the ACS580 family. Versatile settings menu and onboarding assistants accelerate commissioning, reducing engineering time and startup risk. Built-in diagnostics, protection features, and intuitive guidance support technicians through tuning, fault isolation, and routine maintenance, which translates to lower training costs and faster recovery after faults. Wall-mounted installation saves panel space and simplifies retrofits or new-build projects in space-constrained environments. The rugged enclosure, compatibility with the ACS580 ecosystem, and support for simple wiring schemes make it ideal for conveyors, mixers, fans, and pumps in challenging sites. In summary, this drive delivers reliability and efficiency in harsh environments, with faster setup, better hygiene compliance, and lower total cost of ownership through reduced downtime and extended component life.

FAQs
Installation should begin with a clean, vibration-free wall mounting, leaving ample space for heat dissipation and cable routing. Use shielded CAT5/RS485 communication where applicable, and follow the ACS580 wiring diagrams for motor connection. The IP66 Type 4X enclosure protects against water, dust, and chemicals, reducing enclosure openings intervals and improving uptime in harsh environments.
NSF 169 certification confirms suitability for food splash zones, enabling washdown cycles without degrading drive performance. In food and beverage lines, this reduces contamination risk and regulatory concerns while maintaining reliable speed control and torque for conveyors, mixers, and processing equipment. NSF 169 compliance helps meet hygiene standards and simplifies audits, and UL safety adds further assurance.
Yes. The 4X/IP66 enclosure and sealed components resist salt spray, humidity, and washdowns typical of coastal facilities. This makes it suitable for conveyors, pumps, and fans in seafood and marine processing, port terminals, and other coastal installations. For full protection, pair with shielded cables and proper grounding to maximize reliability in harsh marine conditions.
Schedule routine enclosure inspections to verify seals and cable entries, and monitor heat dissipation with load profiling and periodic thermography. Keep the cooling vents unobstructed and use the ACS580's built-in diagnostics and alarms for proactive maintenance. Space around the unit to prevent overheating, and perform firmware updates through ABB's official tools to ensure security and performance.
Investing in the ACS580 with IP66 Type 4X helps reduce downtime and replacement costs by guarding against weather, water, and contaminants. The drive’s fast setup, built-in diagnostics, and reliable torque control improve energy efficiency and process stability. Over time, customers often see shorter maintenance windows, lower spare-part spend, and a predictable payback in seasons with harsh operating conditions.
