Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Lenze 13018345 EVF8212-E is a 1.5 kW frequency inverter from the Lenze 8200 vector family, designed for controlling three-phase AC induction motors in automated industrial environments. Operating from a three-phase 400 V to 480 V AC mains supply with an admissible voltage range of 320 V to 528 V AC, this unit provides an output current rating of 3.9 A and supports up to 150% overload current (5.85 A) for 60 seconds. Featuring an IP20 protection rating for control cabinet mounting, the drive outputs variable output voltages up to line voltage at frequencies ranging from 0 to 480 Hz using either selectable V/f characteristics or sensorless vector control. Common applications include speed and torque regulation across conveyor systems, industrial pumps and fans, and packaging equipment.
Integrating the unit into existing machines relies on configuring drive parameters and matching fieldbus communication requirements. The inverter accepts multi-pin option modules to establish connections across PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2133IB), CANopen (EMF2173IB / EMF2178IB), or LECOM RS232/RS485 (EMF2102IB) networks. Setting up a replacement unit requires transferring operational parameter sets, as up to four independent parameter profiles can be stored within the internal non-volatile EEPROM. Parameters can be copied using a pluggable Keypad XT display (EMZ8201BB) or via Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software. Support from ABC Industrial Parts is available when extracting parameters from donor units or preparing replacement hardware for service.
System state monitoring is available via red and green status LEDs located on the front panel and installed modules, displaying solid or flashing patterns for drive operation, ready status, and faults. Current active fault codes appear directly on the optional Keypad XT, while historical diagnostic events remain stored in parameter code C0168 and can be viewed through the GDC software diagnostic window. Fault conditions such as overvoltage, overcurrent, and heatsink overtemperature often point to external motor wiring, load, or ventilation issues. When memory checksum failures or internal thermal faults persist, hardware faults cannot be serviced in the field, making a tested replacement or repair unit from ABC Industrial Parts the most practical path to restoring production.

Programming and Configuration
Drive setup and parameter management on the Lenze EVF8212-E are executed through Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) engineering software or directly at the inverter using the Keypad XT (EMZ8201BB) operator display unit. Up to four complete, distinct parameter sets can be written to and retained inside the drive's internal non-volatile EEPROM memory, allowing flexible configuration changes for multi-product machinery.
When transferring parameters to a new unit, the saved parameter profiles can be downloaded from GDC or copied via the Keypad XT module. In scenarios where parameter corruption occurs or a clean setup is needed, setting parameter code C0002 to 1 restores the drive to its original factory default settings, allowing manual re-commissioning or a fresh software parameter download.
Communication and System Integration
The EVF8212-E utilizes a modular function slot structure that accommodates optional fieldbus and communication interfaces. Depending on system requirements, users can install optional communication modules into the dedicated front slot to connect the inverter to standard industrial automation networks.
Supported communication modules include the PROFIBUS-DP module (EMF2133IB), CANopen modules (EMF2173IB / EMF2178IB), and the LECOM RS232/RS485 serial module (EMF2102IB). Proper communication requires configuring baud rates and node address switches on the installed option module and matching watchdog monitoring times using parameter code C0125.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
The inverter provides active feedback through integrated red and green LEDs on the front panel and installed option modules. These LEDs display solid or flashing illumination patterns to represent drive operational status, ready state, and active fault conditions during operation.
For technical troubleshooting, active trip codes are shown directly on the Keypad XT module display or inside the diagnostic monitoring window of the Global Drive Control software. Additionally, a historical log of recent diagnostic events is preserved in parameter code C0168.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Front Panel / Module LEDs | Red / Green - Solid / Flashing | Indicates drive operation, ready status, and fault conditions |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
The Lenze EVF8212-E is designed as a direct drop-in replacement within established Lenze 8200 vector drive installations. Replacing a unit requires verifying that the physical power ratings (1.5 kW, 3.9 A output) and control option modules match the original installation setup.
When swapping drives, the communication module (such as PROFIBUS-DP EMF2133IB or CANopen EMF2173IB / EMF2178IB) must be physically moved or duplicated on the replacement drive, and all non-volatile parameter sets must be transferred using the Keypad XT or Global Drive Control software.
For future hardware migration planning, Lenze recommends the i550 series (specifically model i55AE215F00010001S) as a official successor pathway, though retrofitting to this newer family requires panel adjustments and control program adjustments.
