Product Information
The Lenze 13018342 model EVF8217-E is a panel-mounted frequency inverter from the Lenze 8200 vector series, engineered for precise three-phase AC motor speed and torque control. Built in an E-frame enclosure with an integrated heavy-duty heatsink, this 15 kW drive operates from a 3-phase supply voltage ranging from 320 V AC to 550 V AC (nominal 3x 400/500 V AC). It delivers a continuous output current of 32 A with a 150% peak overload capacity up to 48 A for 60 seconds. Capable of driving output frequencies from 0 Hz to 480 Hz at a default switching frequency of 8 kHz, the unit supports sensorless vector control as well as linear and quadratic V/f characteristics for applications in conveyor systems, pumps, fans, packaging machinery, and machine tool spindles.
Integrating a replacement EVF8217-E drive into an automated system requires matching both power terminals and control configurations. The inverter features an integrated brake chopper transistor for direct external brake resistor connection alongside dedicated DC bus coupling terminals. Network communication and local I/O expansion are handled via a modular function slot designed for plug-in modules, such as the EMF2171IB or EMF2172IB CANopen modules, the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module, or the EMF2102IB RS-232/RS-485 serial module. When commissioning a spare drive, parameter sets must be transferred to replicate the machine profile. The internal non-volatile EEPROM holds up to four independent parameter sets, which can be configured or restored using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software or the E82ZBC XT keypad display. Specialized technical support from ABC Industrial Parts can assist maintenance teams with parameter extraction or preparing donor units for rapid deployment.
Local drive status and operational warnings are indicated directly on the front panel by three LEDs: Red for active fault trips and hardware errors, Green for inverter enable and ready status, and Yellow for current limiting or active warning conditions. Diagnostics and history tracking record the four most recent fault occurrences with cause details, accessible through the E82ZBC XT keypad or GDC monitoring registers for DC bus voltage, output current, frequency, and heatsink temperature. Common field trips include mains phase failure (LP), DC bus overvoltage (OU) during deceleration, or output short circuits (OC1). When unrecoverable internal errors such as hardware faults (H05) or EEPROM memory failures (EE) occur, board-level repairs cannot be completed in the field, making a tested replacement unit or professional repair through ABC Industrial Parts the optimal pathway back to production.

Programming and Configuration
Programming and configuring the Lenze 13018342 EVF8217-E inverter is performed using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software or the detachable E82ZBC XT keypad display. GDC software connects via a PC interface to offer complete parameter access, diagnostic parameter logging, and operational monitoring. For direct panel-side commissioning, the E82ZBC XT keypad allows operators to navigate the parameter menu, alter drive parameters, view real-time feedback values, and clear active trip states.
The inverter contains internal non-volatile EEPROM memory capable of holding up to four complete parameter datasets (datasets 1 through 4). This multi-dataset architecture allows users to program different operating profiles or keep complete backup sets stored directly on the drive. To prevent parameter corruption during saving operations, stable control logic power must be maintained. If parameter errors (Pr) arise due to interrupted dataset writes, reloading factory default settings via code C0002 = 1 restores baseline drive parameters before reloading valid application datasets.
Communication and System Integration
The Lenze 8200 vector series utilizes a modular hardware design that separates the main power structure from control and fieldbus communications. The EVF8217-E unit includes a built-in functional module slot designed to accept specialized communication adapters, allowing seamless integration into fieldbus networks without modifying the underlying inverter hardware.
Compatible plug-in function modules include the EMF2171IB and EMF2172IB CANopen modules, the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module, and the EMF2102IB RS-232/RS-485 module, along with INTERBUS and LECOM options. In addition to option slot communications, the drive provides dedicated terminals for 3-phase main AC power input (L1, L2, L3), motor power output (U, V, W), external brake resistor connection via the integrated brake chopper, and DC bus terminals for shared DC link configurations.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
Operational monitoring for the EVF8217-E drive is conducted via three status LEDs located on the unit, alongside software and keypad monitoring tools. Real-time values such as output frequency, motor current, DC bus voltage, and drive heatsink temperature can be tracked continuously through Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software or the E82ZBC XT keypad. An internal fault history memory logs the last four fault events together with recorded cause data to support fast root-cause evaluation.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Red (Fault/Error) | Red - Solid or Flashing | Flashing indicates an active fault trip; Solid indicates an internal trip or hardware error. |
| Green (Ready/Operation) | Green - Solid or Flashing | Solid indicates inverter enabled and motor running; Flashing indicates inverter ready or pulse inhibit active. |
| Yellow (Limit/Warning) | Yellow - Solid or Flashing | Indicates current limit reached or an active warning condition. |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
Replacing a Lenze 13018342 EVF8217-E requires verifying power characteristics and option module compatibility. Ensure the spare unit matches the 15 kW power rating, 32 A output current capacity, and physical panel mounting footprint. When swapping units, transfer the installed function module (such as PROFIBUS, CANopen, or RS-232/RS-485) from the existing inverter into the replacement unit's slot, ensuring the module is fully seated and secured to avoid communication faults (CE0).
Before placing a replacement inverter into operational service, parameter settings matching the machine must be restored into the internal EEPROM using GDC software or an E82ZBC XT keypad display. For systems undergoing broader panel modernizations where the 8200 vector series is being updated, standard migration pathways exist to current Lenze drive families, including the Lenze 8400 StateLine, 8400 HighLine, or i550 series inverters.
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 | Short circuit at inverter output or Earth fault | Short circuit in motor cable, winding short circuit, excessive motor cable length, or earth fault | Check motor cable for phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground short circuits.
