Product Information

Product Family: 8200 Vector

The Lenze 13018346 EVF8213-E is a 5.5 kW frequency inverter within the 8200 Vector product family, engineered for variable speed control of standard three-phase AC motors. Operating across a 3-phase supply voltage range of 320 V AC to 528 V AC, this drive delivers a continuous output current of 13 A with an adjustable output frequency from 0 to 480 Hz. Built in an IP20 enclosure designed for control cabinet panel mounting, the unit supports open-loop sensorless vector control alongside linear and quadratic V/f performance curves to supply steady torque and precise speed regulation across conveyor systems, pump drives, and machine tool spindles.

Interfacing the inverter with control architecture is handled via an integrated modular interface slot that accepts plug-in communication modules, including options for CANopen, PROFIBUS-DP, and serial LECOM interfaces. Commissioning a spare unit requires configuring parameters to match the target machine, which can be accomplished using the optional E82ZBC001 XT keypad module or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. The inverter includes non-volatile memory storing up to four onboard parameter sets, enabling flexible setup switching and fast transfer of saved configurations to donor hardware. ABC Industrial Parts can assist in preparing replacement drives and transferring saved configuration parameters to reduce machine setup time.

Real-time drive status and operational diagnostics are provided via front-panel status LEDs, where a green indicator displays operational readiness and a red indicator signals active trip faults or system messages. If the red fault LED stays continuously lit and cannot be reset, or if internal memory trip codes occur, an unrecoverable hardware or memory failure is indicated. First-line maintenance checks should verify supply line phase symmetry, motor cabling integrity, braking resistor function, and proper seating of plugged fieldbus modules. When internal component failures prevent operational reset, ABC Industrial Parts provides tested exchange units and repair options to quickly restore equipment operation.

Programming and Configuration

The Lenze 13018346 EVF8213-E frequency inverter features an integrated memory structure capable of retaining up to four complete parameter sets in non-volatile EEPROM storage. This allows operators to configure distinct runtime profiles for varying load dynamics or operational modes and switch between them without manual re-parameterization.

Programming and parameter management are performed using either the pluggable E82ZBC001 XT operating module keypad or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software. The keypad module supports direct parameter viewing, modification, and data copying for field transfer. Connecting via GDC software provides diagnostic windows and structured project management, allowing technicians to upload, save, and restore parameter files during routine commissioning or drive replacement.

Communication and System Integration

Integration of the Lenze EVF8213-E into centralized control networks relies on an onboard modular slot designed for detachable function modules. This plug-in architecture allows the base drive unit to interface with fieldbus infrastructure without replacing the main power section.

Supported fieldbus and serial interfaces include the EMF2175IB and EMF2178IB CANopen modules, the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module, and the EMF2102IB serial LECOM communication module. These option modules handle network data exchange, control word commands, and status feedback, enabling integration into broader automation networks.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

The Lenze 13018346 EVF8213-E incorporates status LEDs, an onboard fault memory buffer, and diagnostic readability via external interface devices. Detailed status codes and error logs can be read using the E82ZBC001 XT keypad LCD display or through the diagnostic monitor within Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
ReadyGreen - Solid / FlashingSolid ON: Operational status enabled / drive running. Flashing: Drive ready / inhibited or initializing.
FaultRed - Solid / FlashingSolid ON or Flashing: Fault active (Trip or Message). Continuous light with no reset indicates internal hardware fault or memory corruption.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When installing a replacement Lenze 13018346 EVF8213-E frequency inverter, verify that electrical ratings match the original unit, specifically the 5.5 kW power rating, 13 A continuous current output, and 320 to 528 V AC input supply range. Any installed communication modules, such as PROFIBUS (EMF2133IB) or CANopen (EMF2175IB/EMF2178IB), must be physically moved from the old unit to the replacement inverter.

Before operating the replacement drive, copy the parameter profile from the original unit using an E82ZBC001 XT keypad or upload a saved parameter file via Global Drive Control (GDC) software. Confirming motor characteristics, ramp settings, control mode selection, and fieldbus node parameters ensures proper operation and prevents network communication faults upon powering up.

Error Codes & Fault Codes

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

CodeNameDescriptionPossible CauseRecommended Action
OC1Short Circuit / Instantaneous OvercurrentOutput current exceeded maximum peak threshold due to short circuit or earth fault.Short circuit in motor wiring, earth fault in motor cable, acceleration time set too short, motor improperly sized.Check motor and motor cable for short circuit or ground fault. Increase acceleration time. Verify motor data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tools are needed to program and back up the Lenze EVF8213-E drive?

Programming and backup can be performed using the detachable Lenze E82ZBC001 XT Keypad module or via a PC running Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software connected through a compatible serial or communication module.

How are parameter settings transferred when replacing an EVF8213-E inverter?

Parameter settings can be stored directly into the E82ZBC001 XT Keypad module memory from the original drive and uploaded to the replacement drive. Alternatively, parameter files saved in Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software can be downloaded to the new unit.

What does a continuous red Fault LED indicate on the front panel?

A continuous red Fault LED indicates an active trip condition, message fault, or an internal hardware memory failure. If the LED remains illuminated after attempting a reset and cycling power, an internal board fault or EEPROM corruption is present.

Can the Lenze EVF8213-E connect to PROFIBUS or CANopen fieldbus networks?

Yes, the EVF8213-E features a modular interface slot that supports attachable communication modules, including the EMF2133IB module for PROFIBUS-DP and the EMF2175IB or EMF2178IB modules for CANopen.

What steps should be taken if an OC1 fault code appears?

An OC1 code indicates an instantaneous overcurrent or short circuit. Inspect the motor and motor power wiring for phase-to-phase short circuits or ground faults, verify that the acceleration time ramp is not set too short, and confirm that motor parameters match the attached load.
