Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Lenze 00400033, designated by model number EVF8212-E, is a compact 1.5 kW (2.0 HP) frequency inverter within the Lenze 8200 series engineered for precise speed and torque regulation of standard 4-pole AC asynchronous motors. Operating on a 230 V AC supply across an input range of 190 V to 260 V AC (supporting both single-phase and three-phase connections), this drive delivers a rated output current of 7.0 A with a peak output current of 10.5 A, representing a 150% overload capability for 60 seconds. Designed for panel mounting inside control cabinets, the unit features an integrated RFI/EMC filter to meet strict electromagnetic interference requirements without requiring extra suppression hardware. It supports flexible motor control modes, including linear or quadratic V/f characteristic curves as well as sensorless vector control (SLVC) for demanding mechanical loads.
Connecting and installing a replacement EVF8212-E inverter requires matching both control terminal wiring and fieldbus interfaces. The drive features programmable control terminals, providing four digital inputs, one digital/relay output, one configurable analog input (0–10 V or 0/4–20 mA), and one analog output (0–10 V). A built-in function module slot enables integration with fieldbus systems using optional plug-in modules such as the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module, EMF2171IB or EMF2172IB CANopen modules, or the EMZ2102IB LECOM RS232/RS485 module. Putting a spare drive into service is rarely plug-and-play; parameters must be transferred using an EMZ8201BB or EMZ8202BB operating keypad or uploaded via Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. ABC Industrial Parts can support this commissioning process by extracting and restoring parameter sets from existing units to ensure full process compatibility.
Diagnostics on the EVF8212-E are provided through front panel status LEDs and parameter registers. A continuous green LED indicates normal operational run mode, while a flashing green LED signifies a controller inhibit or ready state. A solid red LED signals an active TRIP condition or drive fault, with historical codes accessible via register C0168 using the operating keypad or GDC software. First-line troubleshooting should verify input power across terminals L1, L2, and L3, motor insulation, and parameter acceleration or deceleration settings like C0012 and C0013. Hardware-level faults such as persistent EEPROM memory failures (EE) or internal power stage faults (H05) cannot be serviced on-site; in these cases, ABC Industrial Parts offers tested replacement units and repair options to minimize production downtime.

Programming and Configuration
Drive configuration and parameter management for the Lenze EVF8212-E frequency inverter are conducted using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software or an attachable operating keypad, such as the EMZ8201BB or EMZ8202BB. These tools allow maintenance technicians to configure motor settings, adjust acceleration and deceleration ramp times, set maximum frequency limits, and assign control terminal functions.
When commissioning a new unit or troubleshooting an existing installation, specific parameters govern key drive behavior. Key settings include parameter C0012 for acceleration ramp time, C0013 for deceleration ramp time, and C0011 for setting the maximum motor speed limit. If parameter corruption occurs or a complete reconfiguration is required, loading standard factory default parameters can be initiated by executing parameter C0002.
Communication and System Integration
The EVF8212-E drive integrates into plant automation systems via hardwired terminal connections and modular fieldbus communication cards. Fixed I/O hardware includes four digital inputs for run, stop, and multi-speed signals, one digital or relay output for status feedback, one analog input accepting 0–10 V or 0/4–20 mA setpoint signals, and one 0–10 V analog output for speed or load monitoring.
For higher-level PLC network integration, the drive features a dedicated function module expansion slot. This slot accommodates plug-in communication modules, including the EMF2133IB module for PROFIBUS-DP, the EMF2171IB and EMF2172IB modules for CANopen, and the EMZ2102IB module for LECOM RS232/RS485 interfaces, enabling real-time control, monitoring, and parameterization over industrial networks.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
Real-time operational monitoring for the EVF8212-E drive is facilitated through two status LEDs located on the front cover. The green LED indicates controller readiness when flashing and continuous drive operation when solid. The red LED illuminates steadily during an active TRIP or failure state, prompting diagnostic investigation.
For detailed fault analysis, historical fault events are recorded in the internal TRIP log register, accessible via parameter C0168. Technicians can read C0168 using the EMZ8201BB operating display or GDC software to identify recent drive faults, trace intermittent trip causes, and confirm system readiness.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Red LED (FAIL / TRIP) | Red - Solid | Indicates active drive fault / TRIP condition. If steady red accompanied by non-clearing hardware trip, indicates internal control board or power section failure requiring unit repair or replacement. |
| Green LED (READY / OPERATE) | Green - Flashing / Continuous | Indicates drive is powered and operational (green flashing = controller inhibit / ready; green continuous = drive running / enabled). |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
When replacing an existing Lenze 00400033 EVF8212-E drive, it is essential to ensure that the replacement matches the original electrical and mechanical specifications. The unit requires a 230 V AC power supply (190–260 V AC) and delivers up to 7.0 A continuous output current (10.5 A maximum overload). Physical mounting requires panel space sufficient for its integrated EMC filter and appropriate airflow for heatsink cooling.
Before putting a spare inverter into service, parameter alignment is critical. Ensure that any attached function modules—such as PROFIBUS, CANopen, or LECOM interfaces—are transferred to the replacement unit. Standard parameter profiles must be configured or uploaded from backup files using GDC software to match the application's exact acceleration rates, current limits, and terminal assignments. While the 8200 series is legacy hardware, modern retrofits may utilize successor drive lines such as the Lenze i510 or i550 series.
Error Codes & Fault Codes
The following error codes may be displayed during operation or diagnostics:
| Code | Name | Description | Possible Cause | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
