Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Lenze 00400050 (model EVF8243-E) is a 5.5 kW panel-mounted frequency inverter from the Lenze 8200 vector series, engineered for speed regulation and dynamic motor control in industrial automation machinery. Operating on a three-phase supply voltage ranging from 320 V AC to 528 V AC, the drive delivers a nominal output current of 13 A and can handle temporary load spikes with a 150% overload capacity of 19.5 A for up to 60 seconds. The drive provides an output frequency range from 0 to 480 Hz with a default switching frequency of 8 kHz, adjustable between 2 kHz and 16 kHz. Housed in an IP20 panel-mount enclosure, it supports both linear or quadratic V/f characteristic control and sensorless vector control for precise torque performance across conveyors, pumps, fans, and packaging equipment.
Integrating the EVF8243-E into a machine system relies on its modular dual-slot structure, featuring dedicated Automation Interface (AIF) and Function Interface (FIF) expansion slots. These hardware slots accommodate plug-in modules such as the EMF2133IB, EMF2175IB, and EMF2178IB, enabling fieldbus communication over PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, DeviceNet, INTERBUS, or Modbus RTU networks. Commissioning a replacement unit requires transferring parameter data stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory, which holds up to four independent parameter sets. Parameters can be copied using the Keypad XT EMZ8201BB or uploaded using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. Preparing a replacement drive with matching option cards and parameter backups with support from ABC Industrial Parts ensures a smooth transfer and minimizes system downtime.
Diagnostic feedback on the inverter unit is provided via dedicated status LEDs: a green LED signals ready or operational status, while a solid red LED indicates an active trip fault condition. Fault history logs are saved under parameter C0168 and can be viewed along with active trip messages using the Keypad XT module or GDC software. Maintenance personnel can inspect fault conditions including overcurrent trips (OC1, OC2, OC5), DC-bus overvoltage or undervoltage (OU, LU), heatsink or motor thermal faults (OH, OH4), and communication errors (CE0). First-line troubleshooting should include verifying line power, motor cables, thermistor connections, and option card seating. Internal control board or EEPROM memory errors (EEr, rE0) indicate hardware-level issues, where replacing the unit or sourcing a tested exchange drive through ABC Industrial Parts provides the fastest route back to operation.

Programming and Configuration
Parameter setup and commissioning for the Lenze 00400050 EVF8243-E frequency inverter are conducted using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software or the plug-in Keypad XT EMZ8201BB module. The drive includes built-in non-volatile EEPROM memory designed to store up to four complete, independent parameter sets. This feature allows operators to store alternative operation profiles or machine recipes directly within the drive.
When installing a replacement inverter, configuration settings can be transferred by copying parameter sets directly using the Keypad XT memory transfer function or uploading saved project files via GDC software. If clearing current configuration memory is required prior to uploading saved parameters, parameter C0002 can be selected to reset the drive to its factory default settings.
Communication and System Integration
The Lenze 8200 vector series EVF8243-E drive features a modular dual-slot layout containing an Automation Interface (AIF) slot and a Function Interface (FIF) slot. The AIF slot accommodates fieldbus interface cards—including the EMF2133IB, EMF2175IB, and EMF2178IB—for connection to higher-level automation control networks.
Depending on the plug-in module installed in the AIF slot, the drive supports communication across CANopen, PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, INTERBUS, or Modbus RTU networks. The FIF slot supports additional functional extensions and control terminal modules, facilitating integration into centralized host controller networks or distributed system architectures.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
Operational status is visually indicated through two status LEDs located on the front of the inverter. The green LED signals normal operational readiness, illuminating solid during motor run status and flashing when controller inhibit or ready states are active. The red LED illuminates solid whenever an active fault trip occurs.
In addition to real-time LED indications, diagnostic data and trip history logs are maintained in drive memory. Parameter C0168 stores the active and historic fault code log, accessible via Keypad XT EMZ8201BB or GDC software for root-cause analysis during maintenance.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Red LED | Red - Solid | Fault condition / Error active. Constant red indicates active trip fault. |
| Green LED | Green - Solid or Flashing | Ready / Operational status. Flashing green indicates controller inhibit or ready status; solid green indicates drive operational/running. |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
Although the Lenze 8200 vector series is in discontinued lifecycle status, the 00400050 EVF8243-E remains essential for maintaining installed control systems. When selecting a replacement drive, technicians must confirm the part number 00400050 and model type EVF8243-E to match the 5.5 kW power rating (13 A rated output current) and physical panel-mount dimensions.
Prior to putting a replacement unit into service, installed plug-in modules in the AIF and FIF slots must be transferred from the original unit, and the parameter backup must be loaded via Keypad XT or GDC software. For future system overhauls, Lenze designates the i550 cabinet inverter series as the recommended migration path for 8200 vector installations.
Error Codes & Fault Codes
The following error codes may be displayed during operation or diagnostics:
| Code | Name | Description | Possible Cause | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OC1 | Short circuit / Overcurrent during acceleration | Output current exceeded instantaneous trip limit during acceleration. | Short circuit on motor output terminals, motor winding earth fault, acceleration time set too short, defective motor cable. | Check motor and output cabling for short circuit or ground fault; increase acceleration time. |
