Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Lenze EVF8215-E, identified by part number 00384011, is a 5.5 kW panel-mounted frequency inverter from the 8200 vector product family designed for precise variable speed control of 3-phase AC induction motors. Operating across a 3-phase supply voltage range of 320 V to 528 V AC, this AC drive delivers a continuous rated output current of 13 A and supports an output frequency range from 0 to 480 Hz. To maintain motor dynamic performance under varying conditions, the unit offers flexible control modes including adjustable V/f characteristic control and sensorless vector control. It provides dynamic response and energy efficiency across industrial applications such as conveyor drives, material handling, packaging lines, pumps, and ventilation systems.
Commissioning a replacement drive requires matching hardware module configurations and transferring saved application settings. The EVF8215-E features internal non-volatile EEPROM memory capable of retaining up to four distinct parameter sets. Parameter sets can be saved, edited, or cloned using the optional EMZ8201BB XT keypad or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. Modular slots allow installation of plug-in function modules and fieldbus communication adapters, such as PROFIBUS-DP modules (EMF2131IB / EMF2133IB) and CANopen modules (EMF2171IB / EMF2172IB), as well as DeviceNet, Interbus, and RS-232/485 LECOM interfaces. When replacing an existing unit, existing communication modules can be swapped directly into the spare chassis, and parameter extraction from donor memory or software backups allows rapid system setup. ABC Industrial Parts can assist maintenance teams with pre-configured replacement units to minimize machine downtime.
Diagnostics and real-time status monitoring are provided through dual LED indicators and accessible internal parameters. A solid green LED indicates normal operation with inverter output enabled, while a flashing green LED signifies that controller inhibit is active and the unit is ready. A flashing red LED indicates a drive trip or fault condition. Specific trip diagnostics can be retrieved by inspecting parameter C0170 for current trip status and parameter C0168 for fault history. Common fault trips include overcurrent (OC1, OC2, OC5), mains phase failure (LP1), overvoltage (OU), undervoltage (LU), and thermal overload (OH, OH4). Diagnostic fault Pr1 points to parameter corruption, which is resolved by loading default settings via parameter C0002 = 11 and re-downloading the parameter set. Fault code H10 signals an internal control board failure; because hardware component failure is not field-serviceable, factory repair or a tested exchange drive through ABC Industrial Parts is recommended.

Programming and Configuration
The Lenze EVF8215-E frequency inverter uses internal non-volatile EEPROM memory to store up to four independent parameter sets. Drive configuration can be performed directly on the unit using the plug-in EMZ8201BB XT keypad module or remotely using a PC running Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software.
Key parameter configurations include adjusting motor acceleration time via parameter C0012 and deceleration time via parameter C0013 to optimize load dynamics and prevent overvoltage (OU) trips during stopping ramps. If parameter data corruption occurs during a power loss or interrupted transfer, the drive flags fault code Pr1. Setting parameter C0002 to 11 resets the inverter to factory defaults, allowing a clean application parameter set to be restored.
Communication and System Integration
Designed with a modular architecture, the 8200 vector EVF8215-E drive features dedicated slots on the front chassis to accept plug-in communication options. Supported modules allow integration into major industrial automation networks, including PROFIBUS-DP (via EMF2131IB and EMF2133IB modules) and CANopen (via EMF2171IB and EMF2172IB modules). Additional support is available for DeviceNet, Interbus, and RS-232/485 LECOM interfaces.
If network communication is interrupted between the fieldbus option module and the system master controller, the drive registers fault code CE0. Correcting communication issues involves verifying fieldbus cabling, confirming proper module seating in the chassis slot, and checking network master operation.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
The EVF8215-E provides visual status indication through two LEDs located on the front panel. The green LED remains solid when the inverter is operating with output enabled and flashes when controller inhibit is active (ready state). The red LED flashes whenever a fault or trip condition occurs to inhibit drive output.
For deeper diagnostics, engineers can inspect parameter C0170 to identify the current active TRIP condition. Parameter C0168 provides access to historical fault logs, helping maintenance personnel trace fault trends such as output overcurrent, DC bus voltage fluctuations, or thermal overload events.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Red LED | Red - Flashing | Fault or trip present; drive inhibited due to active fault condition |
| Green LED | Green - Solid / Flashing | Solid: Inverter operating, output enabled. Flashing: Controller inhibit active (ready for operation). |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
When replacing a failed Lenze EVF8215-E inverter (part number 00384011), confirm that the spare unit matches the 5.5 kW power rating and 320 V to 528 V AC 3-phase input requirements. Because the 8200 vector series is a discontinued product family, replacing a unit typically relies on tested spare inventory or planned hardware migration.
During installation, existing plug-in option modules—such as PROFIBUS (EMF2131IB / EMF2133IB) or CANopen (EMF2171IB / EMF2172IB) cards—must be transferred to the replacement unit. Ensure vertical mounting inside the control cabinet with a minimum clearance of 100 mm at both top and bottom to allow unobstructed airflow over the heatsink. For modernizing equipment, Lenze i500 and i550 series inverters are recommended successor models.
