Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001109448 ABB: Designed for harsh locations, the ACQ580-01 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 enclosure and protection against water, dust, and chemicals is supported by Type 4X / IP66 protection, reducing unplanned downtime and wear on motor-driven equipment. This translates to longer service life and lower maintenance costs for pumps, mixers, and fans in water treatment and coastal plants. Applications include outdoor pump stations and washdown-heavy facilities where reliability is non-negotiable. NSF 169 certification enables safe operation in food splash zones, aligning with hygiene standards and minimizing contamination risk while maintaining productivity. This supports food & beverage lines, dairies, and bottling plants needing robust drives that withstand frequent sanitation. Intuitive configuration and fast commissioning capabilities simplify startup, reduce training needs, and accelerate project timelines. Operators benefit from guided menus and built-in assistants, enabling consistent settings across multiple sites. Space-efficient wall-mount design eases retrofits and serviceability, especially in constrained control rooms or offshore panels. Seamless integration with ABB drive families such as ACS580/ACQ580 promotes unified diagnostics, energy optimization, and scalable automation across municipal and industrial facilities.
