Product Information

Product Family: 8200 vector

The Lenze 13018349 EVF8216-E is a panel-mounted 7.5 kW frequency inverter engineered for precise speed and torque regulation of three-phase AC induction motors. Operating within the Lenze 8200 vector drive family, this unit operates on a 3-phase supply voltage range of 320 V AC to 528 V AC at 400/480 V AC nominal, delivering a continuous rated output current of 16.5 A and a maximum short-term overload capacity of 24.8 A for up to 60 seconds. The drive features an integrated Class A radio interference suppression filter to limit high-frequency emissions without requiring separate line filters, saving panel space. Configurable motor control methods include linear V/f, quadratic V/f, and sensorless vector control (SLVC), achieving precise speed performance across an output frequency range of 0 Hz to 480 Hz.

Interfacing with broader machine automation networks is supported by an integrated Function Module Slot (FIF). This slot accepts interchangeable option modules, including the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP interface, EMF2171IB or EMF2172IB CANopen modules, InterBus adapters, and LECOM RS232/RS485 serial communication cards. Bringing a replacement inverter into service requires configuring drive parameters to match the motor and application demands. Internal non-volatile memory accommodates up to four parameter sets, allowing quick switching between defined machine operating profiles. Parameter extraction, profile cloning, and configuration backups can be executed using the plug-in Keypad XT (E82ZBC) keypad or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. When preparing a spare unit, matching parameter structures and module jumper settings ensures seamless operation, with technical support available through ABC Industrial Parts.

Visual status indication on the front face of the unit allows for rapid operational assessment and fault identification. A steady green LED indicates that the drive is powered and active, while a flashing green LED indicates drive ready status with controller inhibit engaged. Fault conditions trigger a solid or flashing red LED, accompanied by trip code recording in an internal diagnostic buffer storing the four most recent faults. System diagnostic codes cover issues such as short circuit (OC1), earth fault (OC2), DC bus overvoltage (OU), and undervoltage (LU). If diagnostics point to unresolvable hardware faults, internal component degradation, or control board failure, unit repair or sourcing a tested replacement through ABC Industrial Parts provides a fast route to restoring production continuity.

Programming and Configuration

The Lenze EVF8216-E frequency inverter utilizes onboard non-volatile memory capable of storing four distinct parameter sets. This multi-profile memory structure allows technicians to program different operational configurations for various production runs, motor configurations, or load profiles directly within the drive without external reprograming.

Parameter adjustments, drive tuning, and configuration cloning are carried out using either the optional Keypad XT (E82ZBC) control unit or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. Key acceleration and deceleration profiles are configured via dedicated parameters, including C0012 for acceleration ramp duration and C0013 for deceleration ramp duration. To clear existing configuration errors or re-commission a unit from a known baseline, setting parameter C0002 to 1 restores the drive to its default factory settings.

Communication and System Integration

Network integration for the 13018349 inverter relies on the front-accessible Function Module Slot (FIF). This modular slot accepts dedicated fieldbus communication cards, enabling direct connection to upper-level PLCs and process controllers without requiring additional external hardware interfaces.

Supported option modules include the EMF2133IB module for PROFIBUS-DP, the EMF2171IB and EMF2172IB modules for CANopen, as well as modules supporting InterBus and LECOM RS232/RS485 communication protocols. When integrated, the inverter transmits real-time status words and accepts remote control commands, speed setpoints, and trip reset signals across the fieldbus network.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Front-panel LED indicators deliver immediate visual status checks during operation. A Green LED indicates control voltage state and operational readiness, while a Red LED signals active fault conditions or pending warnings. The internal control system continuously monitors operating thresholds, recording system faults into a non-volatile memory buffer.

Detailed diagnostics and historical fault analysis are accessed by connecting the Keypad XT module or establishing a communication link using Global Drive Control (GDC) software. The inverter maintains a history of the last four trip events, allowing maintenance staff to pinpoint transient overvoltage, overcurrent, or thermal events.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
Red LEDRed - Off / On / BlinkingOff: Normal operation. On: Active trip fault (controller inhibited). Blinking: Pending warning or fault condition.
Green LEDGreen - Off / On / BlinkingOn: Drive enabled and running. Blinking: Drive ready, controller inhibit active. Off: Control electronics unpowered.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When selecting a replacement for a Lenze 13018349 EVF8216-E inverter, confirm that the voltage supply (320-528 V AC) and output power ratings (7.5 kW, 16.5 A nominal output) match the original installation requirements. The presence of the integrated Class A radio interference suppression filter should also be confirmed, as substituting a model without internal filtering may require adding external line filters.

Replacing a faulty inverter requires transferring drive parameters and option modules to the replacement unit. The plug-in function module (such as PROFIBUS-DP EMF2133IB or CANopen EMF2171IB/EMF2172IB) must be moved to slot 0 on the replacement drive. Parameter settings must be loaded using the Keypad XT module or cloned via Global Drive Control (GDC) software to restore original motor profiles, ramp settings, and fieldbus parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software is used to program and backup the Lenze 13018349 EVF8216-E inverter?

The inverter is configured and backed up using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software or managed directly using the optional Keypad XT (E82ZBC) control module.

How do I reset the EVF8216-E drive to its factory default settings?

Factory default settings can be restored by setting parameter C0002 to 1 using the Keypad XT module or GDC software.

Which fieldbus interfaces are supported by the EVF8216-E?

The drive supports plug-in fieldbus modules inserted into its Function Module Slot (FIF), including PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2133IB), CANopen (EMF2171IB / EMF2172IB), InterBus, and LECOM RS232/RS485.

What does a solid red LED on the inverter front panel signify?

A solid red LED indicates an active trip fault condition that has inhibited the drive controller, requiring fault resolution before restarting.

How do I resolve an OC1 trip code on the drive display?

An OC1 code indicates an overcurrent or short circuit condition. Disconnect the motor leads to verify inverter output stage integrity, check motor winding insulation, and increase the acceleration time parameter (C0012) if short ramps are causing current spikes.

Does the EVF8216-E require an external line filter for EMC compliance?

No external line filter is required for standard Class A installations because the EVF8216-E features an integrated Class A radio interference suppression filter.
