The all-compatible ACS580 series

Effortless energy efficiency

ABB’s new ACS580 drives provide
the quality, reliability, and energy
savings you expect from ABB
drives as well as new features,
such as the new primary settings
menu and Bluetooth connectivity,
that will make it easier to use and
safer to maintain.

With offices in over 90 countries
and a network of global technical
partners, you can rely on ABB for
technical assistance and local
support worldwide.

Save time and money

The ACS580 is simple to install, commission, use,
expand, and even upgrade, when the time comes.
A compact design makes handling the units easy
and with all the essential features built-in,
commissioning and setup time is greatly reduced by
leveraging the Primary Settings menus and
assistants. The assistant control panel, which
provides 16 different language options, can be
upgraded to an optional Bluetooth control panel to
enable wireless commissioning and monitoring.

Keep your system running smoothly

ACS580 drives are designed for customers who
value reliability, high quality, and robustness in their
applications. Product features, such as coated
boards and compact UL Type 12 (IP55) enclosure,
make the ACS580 suitable for harsh conditions.

Additionally, all ACS580 drives and their protective
functions are thoroughly tested for performance at
maximum temperature with nominal loads.

Contain costs to improve your bottom line

When you think of VFDs, you likely think of energy
savings – and rightly so. Energy savings alone can
easily justify the cost of a VFD, even on small
applications that traditionally use starters. Just by
up-grading from constant to variable speed, you can
create energy savings of up to 50%. Add to that the
ability to track the savings, in both energy and
dollars, so you can evaluate the effectiveness of your
system, and adjust accordingly for even more
savings.

When your processes runs more efficiently, the
result is not only energy savings, but minimized
wear and tear on your mechanical equipment, and
overall process efficiencies, which results in financial
savings.

The ACS580 design helps to contain costs as well.
Because all the essential features, including Safe
Torque Off (STO), are integrated into the ACS580,
the amount of equipment that needs to be installed,
commissioned, and maintained is less.

As one of ABB’s all-compatible products, fieldbus
adapters, flange mounting kit, and PC tools are
consistent, to simplify commissioning and minimize
your need for training, as well.

Partner with ABB to achieve success

We encourage you to collaborate with ABB’s factory
and local VFD experts who are available throughout
the lifecycle of your system. You have access to this
team of experts to assist with developing functional,
cost-effective, and easy-to-maintain systems,
improving designs to meet specific project
requirements, ensuring that you include the latest
technologies, and training your staff on appropriate
topics. Our goal is to ensure your success.

We also offer preventive maintenance to keep your
system in tip-top shape and service plans in the
event a machine does go down. You can also count
on our free, 24/7/365 technical support to assist
whenever you need help.

Environment all-compatible

There is increased demand for industries to reduce their
impact on the environment. Our drives can help you
reduce energy consumption in a wide range of
applications. The energy optimizer feature ensures
maximum torque per ampere, reducing energy drawn
from the supply. The built-in energy efficiency
calculators help you to analyze and optimize your
processes. By leveraging our energy appraisals, you can
investigate the energy-saving potential of selected
applications.

Our wall-mounted ACS580 general purpose drives fulfill
the highest energy efficiency class, further reducing
environmental impact. In addition, all ACS580 general
purpose drives are compatible with high-efficiency and
SynRM motors.

Human all-compatible

All our drives share easy-to-use interfaces, saving you time during drive commissioning
and maintenance. When you have learned it once, you can use it with all the drives in our
all-compatible drives portfolio.

With the PC tool, you get extensive drive monitoring capabilities and quick access to
the drive settings. Integrated and certified safety features provide safety for machine
operators. To further improve the user experience, we have developed mobile apps that
can be utilized in interacting with the drive. These apps give you an easy graphical
interface for management, maintenance and servicing of your drives.
