ABB ACS580 standard control program

ABB ACS580 standard control program

Basic information

Scope of application: Suitable for ACS580 frequency converters with firmware version ASCDX 2.05, only compatible with CCU-23 and CCU-24 control units, firmware types (ASCD2, ASCD4) distinguished by frame size (R1-R5, R6-R11)

Startup and Control

Start the process

Complete language selection, motor parameter configuration (refer to motor nameplate), direction testing, and other steps through the "First Start Assistant" on the auxiliary control panel.

Support control of start/stop, speed adjustment, and motor identification run (ID run) through I/O interface for optimizing motor control parameters.

Control mode 

Local control: Operated through the control panel or PC tools, suitable for debugging and maintenance.

External control: Remote control is achieved through I/O terminals (digital/analog inputs) or fieldbus (embedded Modbus RTU or optional adapter), supporting the switching of two external control positions, EXT1 and EXT2.

Control panel functions

Layout and buttons: including display screen, directional keys, start stop keys, local/remote switch keys, etc., supporting shortcut key operations (such as taking screenshots, adjusting brightness).

Main menu:

Basic settings: Configure control macros, motor parameters, ramp time, limit values, etc.

I/O menu: View and adjust the configuration of digital/analog input/output.

Diagnostic menu: displays faults, warnings, restriction status, and event logs.

Energy Efficiency Menu: Monitor energy consumption, energy-saving data, and CO ₂ emission reduction.

Controlling macro

Pre defined parameter configuration set, simplifying the settings for specific applications, including:

ABB standard macro: default configuration, supports 2-wire control and 3 fixed speeds.

3-wire macro: suitable for instantaneous button control.

PID macro: used for process PID control (such as pressure and flow regulation).

PFC macro: Pump and fan control, supporting linkage of multiple devices.

Other macros: such as manual/automatic switching macro, motor potentiometer macro, etc., suitable for different scenarios.

Core functions

motor control

Supports scalar control (default, suitable for simple scenarios) and vector control (requires ID operation, suitable for high-precision speed regulation).

Supports asynchronous motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PM), and synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM).

Speed and torque control

Speed/frequency reference values can be set through analog input, digital input, fieldbus, and other methods.

Support functions such as acceleration/deceleration ramp adjustment, constant speed control, and critical speed avoidance.

Pid control

Built in 2 sets of PID controllers for closed-loop control of process variables such as pressure and liquid level, supporting sleep/wake function for energy saving.

Protection function

It includes fixed protections such as overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and motor overheating, as well as programmable external event protection.

Support safety functions such as automatic fault reset and safe torque shutdown (STO).

Communication function

Built in Modbus RTU fieldbus interface, supporting the extension of PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and other protocols through adapters.

Parameter configuration

Parameter groups: covering actual value monitoring (01 group), input reference (03 group), faults and warnings (04 group), I/O configuration (10-15 groups), control mode (19 groups), PID settings (40-41 groups), etc., a total of 99 parameter groups.

Parameter recovery: supports resetting to default values, clearing fault logs, and backing up and restoring configurations.

Fault diagnosis

Warning and Fault: Detailed list of fault codes (such as overcurrent and overvoltage), possible causes, and solutions, supporting viewing of historical records through the control panel or event log.

Fieldbus diagnosis: Monitor communication status, send and receive data, and assist in troubleshooting bus faults.
