What it is, and where it lands
The ABB ACS580-01-169A-4 is a wall-mounted frequency converter for a 3-phase 380... 480 V supply at 50/60 Hz. It ships with 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs on the control board, which is the typical complement for a speed-reference plus process-feedback loop on a single driven load. The enclosure is rated IP21, so the drive is intended for an indoor panel or cabinet environment with drip protection only — not for washdown or outdoor mounting without an additional enclosure.
Panel footprint and handling
The unit measures 37 cm x 28.4 cm x 88 cm and weighs 54 Kg, with a 56 Kg shipping weight; mounting should allow for a two-person lift and adequate vertical clearance above the heatsink for cooling airflow. Wall-mount orientation keeps the heat path straight up through the fins; derating applies above the ambient ceiling called out in the official manual, so cabinet ventilation sizing should not assume the headline rating holds at full ambient in a sealed enclosure.
Where this class is used
The control board carries 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs for the speed reference, process feedback, and downstream signal mirroring.
Sibling up the same range
The ACS580-01-246A-4 sits one size up in the same wall-mount family and shares the 3-phase 380-480 V 50/60 Hz input, IP21 rating, and 2-in / 2-out analog complement, but weighs 69 Kg against 54 Kg here and grows to 39.3 cm x 30.0 cm x 96.5 cm — a different current frame, not a direct panel swap. Because the next-frame unit carries a larger heatsink footprint and a different current rating, a panel built around ACS580-01-246A-4 cannot accept ACS580-01-169A-4 without re-checking cable sizing, breaker selection, and mounting cutout; the swap direction is the more common one when the load is smaller than the original spec.
Sourcing posture
ABB's ACS580-01 series is the current general-purpose wall-mount line from the brand, and the part is quoted to order against a standard RFQ with a stated 1-10 working day lead-time window for this build slot. For a BOM line that needs this exact order code, spec it into the purchase order and route the order through the RFQ channel; the spec sheet on this listing already carries the 3-phase 380-480 V input, IP21 rating, and the analog I/O count needed for engineering sign-off.
