The innovation behind ACS580 is ABB UK’s all new compatible common drives architecture, designed to simplify operation, optimize energy efficiency and maximize output. Switch on simplicity without trading off efficiency.

The wall-mounted ABB general purpose drive ACS580 is designed to control a wide range of variable and basic constant torque applications such as pumps, fans, conveyors and mixers in a broad range of industries. The drive is equipped with built-in features that simplify ordering and delivery, and reduces commissioning costs, since everything is provided in a single, compact package.

The drive features a new second generation swinging choke technology which, together with the drive’s design, provides superior mitigation of harmonics in a smaller and lighter design. Other built-in features include EMC filter, brake chopper up to frame R3, Modbus fieldbus interface and safe torque off (STO). The plug-in fieldbus adapter modules enable connectivity with all major automation systems.

The control panel’s straightforward settings menu and embedded assistants reduce time needed for drive commissioning. The menus are clearly named by function, such as motor, ramp and limit settings. The Drive composer PC tool offers extensive drive monitoring and process tuning capabilities. Drive’s energy optimizer control mode ensures the maximum torque per ampere, reducing energy drawn from the supply. The built-in energy calculators, including used and saved kWh, CO2 reduction and money saved, help the user monitor and fine-tune processes to ensure optimal energy use.

Learn once; use everywhere

If an application requires more than a general purpose drive, the common drives architecture enables a smooth transition to other all-compatible drives in the ABB portfolio, such as the ACS880 industrial drives. The drives share the same user interfaces and options, enabling users to use the knowledge gained with the ACS580 drives.
