Product Information

Product Family: 8200 | Series: 8220

The Lenze 00400042 (model EVF8222-E) is a 1.5 kW 3-phase AC frequency inverter belonging to the Lenze 8200 and 8220 series architecture. Operating across an AC supply voltage range of 320 to 550 V AC, this compact panel-mount drive delivers a continuous output current of 3.9 A and an adjustable output frequency range from 0 to 480 Hz. Designed for precise speed regulation of three-phase induction motors, the unit uses V/f characteristic control with linear or quadratic voltage-to-frequency curves and supports selectable switching frequencies from 2 kHz to 16 kHz, with an 8 kHz default, to reduce acoustic motor noise.

Integrating a replacement drive into an existing control cabinet requires matching physical connections and transferring drive configuration. The EVF8222-E incorporates a front-mounted Function Module Interface (FIF) slot that accepts plug-in fieldbus extension modules for PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, or LECOM communication. Operating parameters are stored internally in dual non-volatile EEPROM memory sets, which can be duplicated using an optional EMF2102IB or EMZ2102IB plug-in keypad module or configured on a PC using Global Drive Control (GDC) software. ABC Industrial Parts provides pre-tested replacement units and parameter transfer support to help restore operational drive configurations without extended machine downtime.

Real-time operating conditions and error states are indicated on the drive front panel via dedicated LEDs, where a green LED signals operational readiness or controller inhibit (Reglersperre) and a red LED flags active drive fault conditions. Specific diagnostic codes—including overcurrent (OC1), DC bus overvoltage (OU), or communication faults (CE0/CE1)—can be read using parameters C0168 and C0170 via the keypad, over fieldbus status registers, or through the GDC diagnostic monitor interface. While line voltage and external wiring faults can be resolved during routine maintenance, internal hardware failures such as H05 or unrecoverable EEPROM errors require component-level servicing or complete unit replacement through ABC Industrial Parts.

Programming and Configuration

Parameter setup and commissioning for the Lenze 00400042 EVF8222-E inverter are performed using either a plug-in keypad module (EMF2102IB or EMZ2102IB) or the Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software. The drive features dual internal parameter sets stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory, enabling two independent configuration profiles to be stored directly on the unit.

Using the plug-in keypad, maintenance technicians can quickly transfer stored parameter sets from a operating drive and clone them into a replacement unit without connecting a PC. When connected via Global Drive Control software, users have full access to parameter structures, diagnostic registers, and historical error logs accessible in parameters C0168 and C0170.

Communication and System Integration

The EVF8222-E drive features an onboard Function Module Interface (FIF) slot located on the front panel. This modular slot accommodates plug-in fieldbus extension cards to integrate the drive into high-level control architectures.

Compatible communication interfaces include the EMF2133IB and EMF2131IB modules for PROFIBUS-DP, as well as the EMF2173IB and EMF2171IB modules for CANopen network communication. The drive also supports serial LECOM communication, providing real-time control, status register readout, and fieldbus parameter adjustments.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Drive operation and fault statuses are monitored using front-panel LED indicators alongside internal digital diagnostic registers. The green Ready LED remains solid green during normal operation and blinks during drive initialization or when controller inhibit (Reglersperre) is active. The red Fault LED lights solid or blinks when an active fault condition triggers a drive trip.

Detailed fault codes can be read by inspecting keypad parameters C0168 and C0170, polling status registers via fieldbus, or viewing the diagnostic monitor window in Global Drive Control software.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
Ready (Green)Green - Solid / FlashingIlluminated solid green indicates normal operation/ready. Flashing green indicates controller inhibit (Reglersperre) or initialisation.
Fault / Störung (Red)Red - Solid / FlashingIlluminated solid or blinking red indicates active drive fault condition. Off during normal operation.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When replacing a failed Lenze 00400042 EVF8222-E drive, verify that the 1.5 kW power rating, 320–550 V AC input range, and 3.9 A continuous current output match the electrical requirements of the installation. Existing FIF communication extension modules and keypad modules must be unclipped from the donor drive and attached to the replacement unit.

Prior to putting a spare unit into operation, the application parameters stored in the original EEPROM should be downloaded using a keypad module or uploaded via Global Drive Control software. For new machinery designs, the Lenze i550 series (model i55AE215F) serves as the recommended successor model, though the EVF8222-E remains the direct form-fit replacement for existing 8200 and 8220 series panel installations.

Error Codes & Fault Codes

The following error codes may be displayed during operation or diagnostics:

CodeNameDescriptionPossible CauseRecommended Action
OC1Short circuit / OvercurrentShort circuit at motor output or severe overcurrent during acceleration.Motor cable short circuit, motor winding fault, acceleration time set too short.Check motor and power wiring for short circuits or ground faults. Increase acceleration ramp time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engineering software is used to configure the Lenze 00400042 EVF8222-E?

The drive is programmed and commissioned using Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software. Alternatively, basic parameter adjustments can be made directly on the unit using an EMF2102IB or EMZ2102IB plug-in keypad module.

How are parameters transferred from a failed EVF8222-E drive to a spare unit?

Parameter sets saved in the internal EEPROM can be copied to an EMF2102IB or EMZ2102IB keypad module and downloaded into the spare drive, or transferred via a PC running Global Drive Control software.

Which fieldbus modules can be used with the EVF8222-E frequency inverter?

The onboard Function Module Interface (FIF) slot accepts plug-in modules including the EMF2133IB and EMF2131IB for PROFIBUS-DP, the EMF2173IB and EMF2171IB for CANopen, as well as LECOM serial modules.

What does a flashing green LED on the EVF8222-E front panel mean?

A flashing green Ready LED indicates that the inverter is either initializing or that controller inhibit (Reglersperre) is active, preventing the motor from running while control power is applied.

What steps should be taken if fault code H05 or EER appears?

Fault code EER indicates internal EEPROM corruption, while H05 points to an internal micro-controller or control board hardware fault. If power cycling or resetting to factory defaults does not resolve the error, internal hardware repair or unit replacement is necessary.

What is the recommended successor model for the Lenze EVF8222-E drive?

Lenze recommends the i550 cabinet drive series, specifically model i55AE215F, for new system designs. For existing control panels, installing an exact EVF8222-E spare unit avoids mounting and wiring alterations.
