Product Information

Product Family: 8200 Series | Series: 8210 Series

The Lenze 00402838 EVF8216-E is an 11 kW AC frequency inverter engineered for precise motor speed and torque regulation across industrial automation machinery. Operating on 3-phase AC input voltages from 320 V to 550 V AC, this unit delivers a continuous output current of 23.5 A with a 150% heavy-duty overload capability of up to 35.3 A for 60 seconds. Built on the Lenze 8210 drive platform within the 8200 Series family, it provides an output frequency range from 0 Hz to 480 Hz at an 8 kHz switching frequency. Operating modes include configurable linear or quadratic V/f characteristic control as well as sensorless vector control for high starting torque and dynamic dynamic speed regulation in conveyor, pump, fan, and packaging applications.

Control wiring and system integration are handled through four digital inputs, one digital output, one analog input, and one analog output channel on the main terminal strip. System capability is easily expanded using the dedicated automation interface slot, which accepts plug-in accessories such as the Lenze EMF2102IB keypad operating module, EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module, EMF2173IB CANopen systembus module, or LECOM serial and InterBus interfaces. Replacing an existing drive requires transferring parameter sets stored in non-volatile internal EEPROM memory to the spare unit. Settings can be saved and reloaded using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software or copied directly using the plug-in keypad module, a process where ABC Industrial Parts can assist in sourcing fully tested units to ensure smooth commissioning.

Operational status and diagnostic monitoring are provided directly via front-panel LEDs and digital communication options. A green Ready LED remains solid when the drive is operational and flashes if controller enable is missing or during parameter mode, while a red Fault LED illuminates continuously for active TRIP failures and flashes during overload or warning states. When fitted with a keypad or monitored via GDC software, explicit error codes like OC1 (overcurrent), OU (DC bus overvoltage), and LU (DC bus undervoltage) point directly to field issues such as short circuits, rapid deceleration ramps, or input power drops. Critical board or memory errors such as EE or H05 indicate hardware failures that cannot be repaired in the field, making drive replacement or testing through ABC Industrial Parts the quickest route to restoring normal operations.

Programming and Configuration

The Lenze EVF8216-E frequency inverter relies on non-volatile internal EEPROM memory to maintain all operating parameters and motor control profiles. Parameterization can be performed directly on the drive using the plug-in Lenze EMF2102IB keypad operating module or remotely via a PC using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. Programmable settings include acceleration ramp times (C012), deceleration ramp times (C013), motor thermal limits, and switching control modes.

When commissioning a replacement drive, parameter profiles must match the original machine configuration to prevent improper motor behavior. Parameter sets can be backed up to a computer using GDC software or stored in the memory of the EMF2102IB keypad module for direct download into the spare drive. If a unit must be cleared prior to reconfiguration, parameter C002=1 can be executed to reset the inverter to factory default values.

Communication and System Integration

The drive is equipped with onboard control terminals featuring four digital inputs, one digital output, one analog input, and one analog output channel. These I/O connections handle primary control functions including remote run commands, analog speed reference inputs, fault relay outputs, and actual speed monitoring signals.

High-level network integration is supported through an automation interface slot located on the front panel. Depending on network requirements, optional fieldbus cards such as the Lenze EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module or EMF2173IB CANopen systembus module can be installed. Additional communication choices include LECOM serial cards and InterBus interfaces, enabling complete PLC integration, real-time control, and remote parameter management.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Front-panel LED indicators provide immediate visual diagnostics during operation. The green Ready LED remains continuously lit when the inverter is energized and ready, and flashes if the controller enable signal is absent or the unit is set to parameter mode. The red Fault LED illuminates continuously when an active TRIP condition occurs and flashes during active overload or thermal warnings.

Comprehensive diagnostic code reporting is available by attaching the EMF2102IB operating keypad or connecting via Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. The drive logs specific fault codes covering power supply anomalies, short circuits, motor overloads, and internal hardware conditions, giving technicians clear guidance during troubleshooting.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
Ready (Green)Green - Solid / FlashingSolid: Inverter operating and ready for operation. Flashing: Controller enable missing or unit in parameter mode.
Fault (Red)Red - Solid / FlashingSolid: Active fault condition (TRIP active). Flashing: Warning or overload condition present.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When replacing a failed Lenze 00402838 EVF8216-E drive, verify that the incoming supply matches the 3-phase 320 V to 550 V AC rating and that motor requirements fall within the 11 kW, 23.5 A output limits. Any plug-in modules on the faulty unit—such as the EMF2102IB keypad, EMF2133IB PROFIBUS module, or EMF2173IB CANopen card—should be removed and installed into the replacement drive's automation interface slot.

Spare frequency inverters do not automatically transfer parameter settings from existing machinery. Parameter profiles stored in internal EEPROM memory must be uploaded to the replacement drive using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software or downloaded from an EMF2102IB keypad module prior to operation. Attempting to run a replacement unit on default parameters may cause unexpected motor response or TRIP conditions.

Error Codes & Fault Codes

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Which software is used to program and monitor the Lenze EVF8216-E?

Configuration and monitoring are conducted using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software or locally using the plug-in Lenze EMF2102IB keypad operating module.

Which fieldbus modules fit the EVF8216-E automation interface slot?

The automation slot accepts plug-in communication modules including the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module, EMF2173IB CANopen module, as well as LECOM serial and InterBus cards.

What causes an OU fault code on the Lenze EVF8216-E drive?

An OU fault indicates DC bus overvoltage exceeding 770 V DC, typically caused by motor energy returning to the drive during rapid deceleration. Extending the deceleration ramp time (C013) or connecting an external brake resistor resolves the condition.

How can parameters be transferred to a replacement EVF8216-E inverter?

Parameter profiles saved in internal EEPROM memory can be backed up and reloaded using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software or copied into an EMF2102IB keypad operating module for direct download into the replacement drive.

What steps should be taken if fault code EE or H05 is displayed?

Fault codes EE and H05 signal internal EEPROM corruption or hardware failure. While resetting parameter C002=1 to factory defaults may clear temporary EE memory errors, persistent codes indicate internal hardware damage that requires drive repair or complete replacement.
