Sized, started up, and supported by Advanced Industries — the everyday drive for pumps, fans, conveyors, mixers, and compressors.
The ABB ACS580 is a general purpose variable frequency drive built to run the everyday motors that keep a plant moving. It ships ready to run, with a built-in EMC filter, an intuitive assistant control panel, and energy-saving features already on board, so it drops into most applications with minimal configuration.
What sets us apart from a catalog reseller is what happens after the purchase order. Our in-house team is ABB-certified to perform drive startup and troubleshooting on the drives you buy from us — so you’re not just getting a box, you’re getting it commissioned correctly and supported when something on the line acts up. We also stock ABB drives and common option cards across a range of amperage ratings, which means when a drive goes down, we can often get you running the same day.

Why the ACS580
Increased production uptime
Accurate and consistent speed and torque control in ACS580 drives ensure high production uptime, even with varying loads.
Seamless process optimization
ACS580 drives support a wide range of fieldbus protocols and scalable platform options, making process and component optimization straightforward.
Enhanced safety features
Built-in Safe Torque Off (STO) certified to SIL 3 / PL e, so the drive itself carries part of the safety system.
Scalable performance
The ACS580 is ideal for both energy-efficient applications and those requiring advanced speed and torque control.
Robust and reliable
With its durable construction and protection against earth faults, the ACS580 drive ensures reliable performance and extended equipment lifetime.
Enhanced performance
The ACS580 drive’s adjustable motor load capacity curves allow for optimized energy consumption and improved process productivity

Half a day of labor by one employee. No hardware, no downtime, no capital. Two years on, no performance impact on variable- or constant-torque loads — and $96,000 a year off the energy bill.
What Is a Variable Speed Drive?
A two-minute primer on what a VFD does, why running a motor at part speed saves so much energy on pumps and fans, and where a general purpose drive like the ACS580 fits. Worth a watch before you fill in the sizing form.
