Product Information

Product Family: 8200 Series

The Lenze 00420139, carrying model designation EVF8215-E, is a 5.5 kW three-phase AC frequency inverter within the Lenze 8200 Series family. Engineered for precise variable speed control of standard three-phase asynchronous motors in industrial automation, this IP20-rated inverter operates from a 3-phase supply range of 320 V to 528 V AC at 45 to 65 Hz. The unit provides a continuous output current of 13 A at 400 V AC (rated 7.5 HP at 480 V AC) with a peak overload capacity of 19.5 A for up to 60 seconds, utilizing programmable linear or quadratic V/f characteristic control across an output frequency spectrum of 0 to 480 Hz.

For machine connectivity and commissioning, the EVF8215-E incorporates an integrated module slot designed to accept option cards for fieldbus interface and local operation. System configuration is conducted through the optional EMZ8201BB keypad module or via Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software using a LECOM RS232/RS485 adapter (EMF2102IB). Dual parameter sets are retained in internal non-volatile EEPROM memory, facilitating parameter copying and drive cloning during maintenance. Swapping an existing unit requires transferring saved parameter sets and ensuring fieldbus module jumpers and node address settings are correctly aligned; ABC Industrial Parts can support maintenance technicians requiring pre-tested exchange hardware or parameter backup assistance.

Real-time operational monitoring and fault identification are available directly on the keypad module display or through software diagnostics. Operating status messages (such as pulse inhibit IMP) and specific trip codes provide clear feedback during commissioning or unexpected stops. Fault indications cover events such as overcurrent during acceleration or deceleration (OC1, OC2), steady-state motor overload (OC3), DC bus overvoltage or undervoltage (OU, LU), heatsink thermal trip (OH), and incoming mains phase loss (LP1). When hardware failure codes such as power stage overcurrent (OC4), system error (Er), or hardware fault (HEr) occur and persist after external wiring checks, internal components are not field-serviceable, making drive replacement or repair through ABC Industrial Parts the recommended solution.

Programming and Configuration

Parameterization of the Lenze 00420139 EVF8215-E frequency inverter is performed via the EMZ8201BB keypad operating module or using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) engineering software. The inverter features dual non-volatile EEPROM memory blocks, allowing two complete parameter sets to be stored directly on the drive. This allows flexible management of alternate operating modes or the retention of a verified backup parameter set alongside active machine parameters.

During drive replacement or maintenance cycles, parameter cloning can be completed by copying settings to the keypad unit or uploading the drive profile into GDC via a LECOM serial adapter. Once transferred to a replacement EVF8215-E drive, the parameter structure restores motor data, V/f profiles, ramp times, current limits, and digital I/O assignments without requiring manual configuration.

Communication and System Integration

The EVF8215-E includes an integrated option slot on the front panel designed for modular interface cards. Serial communication for PC commissioning or host controller connection is supported via the EMF2102IB LECOM RS232/RS485 adapter module, enabling point-to-point or multi-drop network topologies.

For integration into broader industrial control networks, optional plug-in fieldbus adapters are available. Supported protocol modules include PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2131IB), CANopen (EMF2171IB and EMF2172IB), and INTERBUS (EMF2111IB). These option cards insert directly into the module slot to transmit speed references, control words, and real-time drive status parameters to PLC control systems.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Operational diagnostic feedback for the Lenze 00420139 is provided via the optional EMZ8201BB keypad display and through internal diagnostic software codes. The keypad display shows current drive status, operational states such as OK readiness or IMP pulse inhibit, and active trip codes when protection circuits are activated.

Remote diagnostics can be conducted over fieldbus connections or via LECOM interface using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. Technicians can read diagnostic parameters, examine trip histories, and evaluate operating metrics including intermediate DC bus voltage, inverter power loss, and load current levels.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

Before replacing a Lenze EVF8215-E drive, verify that the existing installation matches the 5.5 kW (7.5 HP) rating, 13 A continuous output current, and 320 V to 528 V AC line input specifications. Inserting an unconfigured spare unit without copying machine parameters will prevent proper motor operation or trigger instant trip faults.

When installing a spare unit, transfer the existing communication card (such as PROFIBUS-DP or LECOM) from the original drive into the module slot, ensuring node switches match existing drawings. Load saved parameter sets from the EMZ8201BB keypad or GDC software. Prior to restoring mains supply, test motor leads and ground connections to prevent power component failure due to external motor short circuits.
