Product Information
The Lenze 316061 EVF8201-E is a compact 0.37 kW frequency inverter from the Lenze 8200 Series, engineered for precise variable speed control of standard AC asynchronous motors. Operating on a 230 V AC supply across an input range of 180 to 264 V AC at 45 to 65 Hz, this drive provides a continuous output current of 2.4 A and an output frequency range of 0 to 480 Hz with an 8 kHz switching frequency. Built inside an IP20 rated enclosure for cabinet mounting, it features an integrated 150% overload capability that delivers up to 3.6 A for 60 seconds to support heavy starting loads across conveyor systems, pump and fan applications, and packaging machinery.
Connecting and commissioning a replacement unit relies on matching the control I/O configuration and parameter settings. The drive features onboard control interfaces consisting of 4 digital inputs, 1 analog input selectable for voltage or current setpoints, 1 digital output, 1 analog output, and 1 relay output. Its modular front architecture accepts optional operating keypads like the EMZ8201BB or plug-in communication adapters such as PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, or LECOM RS232 and RS485. Because replacing an existing unit requires transferring the parameter setup, parameter sets can be copied using the EMZ8201BB keypad or Lenze Global Drive Control software to match the machine's required V/f characteristic or vector control settings. Technical support from ABC Industrial Parts can assist maintenance teams with parameter extractions and replacement drive setup.
System status and active operational trips are monitored directly through front panel status indicators and diagnostic channels. A green Operating LED indicates functional readiness while a red Fault LED signals an active trip condition. When a fault occurs, specific trip codes such as short circuit trip OC1, DC bus overvoltage trip OU, DC bus undervoltage trip LU, or heatsink overtemperature trip OH are stored in parameter C0161 and can be read via the keypad or software interface. First-line troubleshooting involves measuring line input voltage, inspecting motor insulation and wiring, ensuring cooling clearances around the IP20 housing, and checking fieldbus connections. When internal power hardware or EEPROM memory errors occur, component-level repairs or a fully tested replacement drive from ABC Industrial Parts provide the quickest pathway to restoring machine operations.

Programming and Configuration
Programming and configuring the Lenze 316061 EVF8201-E inverter is performed through the optional plug-in EMZ8201BB operating keypad or via Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software. Operating parameters control drive dynamics, including linear, quadratic, or freely configurable V/f characteristics, alongside vector control modes. Parameter C0002 enables resetting the drive back to factory default settings, providing a known baseline when reconfiguring a spare or re-commissioned drive.
Parameter structures and operating history are stored directly within the drive's internal non-volatile memory or accessed through the diagnostic interface. Parameter C0161 retains the active fault code log, permitting technicians to review trip history during troubleshooting. If a parameter transfer is interrupted, a P12 parameter set error or EEr memory error may occur, requiring a parameter reload or memory reset to establish proper operation.
Communication and System Integration
The Lenze 316061 EVF8201-E frequency inverter features a modular front slot designed to accept various fieldbus and serial communication modules. Network options include the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP communication module, EMF2171IB and EMF2172IB CANopen system bus modules, and EMF2102IB LECOM-A (RS232) or LECOM-B (RS485) adapters. These modules enable integration into centralized PLC architectures and fieldbus networks.
Communication parameters such as baud rate setting C0125 allow fine-tuning of network speed and data throughput on serial links. Diagnostic codes monitor fieldbus status; for example, CE0 indicates a loss of communication between the inverter and the plugged-in option module, while CE1 and CE3 report process data telegram timeouts or transmission noise on CAN, fieldbus, or LECOM links. Proper cable shielding, network termination, and secure module seating are required for stable fieldbus operation.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
The drive provides status feedback through dual front panel LED indicators, keypad display codes, and programmable relay contacts. A green Operating LED displays operational readiness and operating status, while a red Fault LED illuminates or flashes during active trip conditions. Diagnostic software monitors live drive parameters, while parameter C0161 tracks active fault history. The programmable relay output can be assigned to signal TRIP or general fault conditions to external control circuits.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Operating LED | Green - Solid / Flashing | Inverter operating status / operational readiness |
| Fault LED | Red - Solid / Flashing | Inverter trip / fault condition active |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
When replacing a failed Lenze 316061 EVF8201-E inverter, confirm that the replacement matches the 0.37 kW power rating, 230 V AC supply requirements, and 2.4 A continuous current output. Because drive parameters dictate acceleration times, V/f curves, thermal protection limits, and digital/analog I/O functions, the original parameter set should be backed up from the existing drive using Global Drive Control (GDC) software or copied into an EMZ8201BB keypad before transferring to the spare unit.
Ensure any attached option modules—such as CANopen (EMF2171IB/EMF2172IB), PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2133IB), or LECOM adapters (EMF2102IB)—are unseated from the original unit and installed onto the replacement drive. For broader machine modernization, Lenze provides a direct migration path to the i510 Cabinet Series using successor part number i51AE137B1001000S.
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 / Earth Fault | Short circuit or ground fault detected on output phase terminals. | Short circuit between motor phases, phase to earth, short motor cable, or internal power module breakdown. | Check motor wiring and insulation with megohmmeter. Disconnect motor wires and re-test drive. If OC1 trips with motor disconnected, internal inverter hardware is defective; replace unit. |
| OC2 | Overcurrent During Acceleration | Output current exceeded instantaneous trip limit during acceleration ramp. | Acceleration time ramp too short, motor overloaded, or excessive motor cable capacitance. | Increase acceleration time (C0012), check motor load and mechanical binding, check V/f characteristic setting. |
| OC3 | Overcurrent at Constant Speed | Output current exceeded peak value during steady-state operation. | Sudden mechanical load surge, motor instability, or severe mains voltage drop. | Check load mechanics, verify motor current rating against inverter parameter C0088. |
| OC4 | Overcurrent During Deceleration | Output current exceeded peak limit while ramping down motor speed. | Deceleration ramp set too short without brake resistor/chopper. | Increase deceleration time (C0013) or enable DC braking / overvoltage controller. |
| OC5 | I2t Motor Overload | Motor load integrated over time exceeded permissible continuous limit (I2t thermal trip). | Continuous motor overload, motor locked or running at very low speed under high load without forced cooling. | Reduce motor mechanical load, inspect motor ventilation, verify I2t parameters in C0075/C0076. |
| OU | DC Bus Overvoltage | Intermediate circuit DC bus voltage exceeded maximum safety threshold (~400V DC). | Regenerative energy from driven load during deceleration, deceleration ramp time too fast, or high mains voltage. | Extend deceleration time (C0013), activate overvoltage controller (C0562), check supply voltage. |
| LU | DC Bus Undervoltage | Intermediate circuit DC bus voltage dropped below minimum operating limit (~215V DC). | Mains supply failure, low line supply voltage, loose power line connections, or blown input fuse. | Measure mains input voltage, check power supply wiring, check input protection fuses. |
| OH | Heatsink Overtemperature | Inverter heatsink temperature exceeded maximum allowable thermal limit (>85°C). | Insufficient ambient cooling, clogged cooling fins, failed cooling fan, or continuous ambient temperature over 40°C/50°C. | Clean heatsink, verify control cabinet ventilation, ensure required mounting clearances, lower carrier frequency if necessary. |
| OH4 | Motor Overtemperature (PTC) | Thermal sensor input (PTC / thermal contact) triggered high temperature state. | Motor overheating due to heavy mechanical load or insufficient cooling flow. | Allow motor to cool down, inspect motor load, verify motor PTC sensor wiring. |
| OH7 | Internal Inverter Overtemperature | Temperature inside inverter housing exceeded safety limit. | Ambient cabinet temperature too high or internal ventilation blocked. | Improve enclosure cooling and airflow. |
| CE0 | Communication Error (Automation Interface) | Communication breakdown between inverter and plug-in option module. | Option module loose, improperly seated, or damaged. | Power down inverter, remove and re-seat module securely, re-apply power. If fault persists, replace module or inverter. |
| CE1 | Process Data Communication Error (CAN / Fieldbus) | Loss of cyclic fieldbus communication or telegram timeout on channel 1. | Fieldbus cable fault, missing termination resistor, PLC stopped, or master timeout. | Check fieldbus cable and shielding, verify network termination, inspect PLC master status. |
| CE3 | LECOM Communication Error | Time-out or noise error on LECOM serial communication link. | Loose serial cable connection, incorrect baud rate, electromagnetic interference. | Check RS232/RS485 cable connection, baud rate setting (C0125), and shielding. |
| EEr | EEPROM Memory Error / Hardware Error | Checksum failure reading non-volatile internal parameter memory. | Corrupted parameter memory due to power failure during save operation or defective EEPROM chip. | Reset inverter to factory default settings (C0002 = 1). If fault cannot be cleared, internal board failure requiring return for repair or unit replacement. |
| LP1 | Motor Phase Failure | Missing motor output phase detected during operation. | Broken cable wire to motor, loose terminal screw, or open winding inside motor. | Inspect output power cables and check motor winding resistance across phases. |
| P12 | Parameter Set Error | Invalid parameter structure or parameter set corrupted. | Incomplete transfer of parameter set from keypad or GDC. | Reload valid parameter set or perform factory default reset. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended replacement path for the Lenze 316061 EVF8201-E frequency inverter?
The EVF8201-E can be replaced directly with an identical 8200 series unit (part number 316061), transferring parameter settings using an EMZ8201BB keypad or Global Drive Control (GDC) software. For modernizing an installation, the recommended migration successor is the Lenze i510 Cabinet Series drive (part number i51AE137B1001000S).
What causes an OC1 trip code on the Lenze 316061 drive?
An OC1 trip indicates a short circuit or ground fault on the motor output phase terminals. This can stem from a phase-to-phase short, ground fault in the motor cable, or internal power module failure. If the drive continues to trip OC1 with motor cables disconnected, internal power module breakdown has occurred.
How are parameters transferred from an old Lenze 316061 unit to a replacement drive?
Parameters can be transferred by saving the configuration to an EMZ8201BB keypad operating module or by using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software via a LECOM serial adapter. Connect the keypad or software interface to the replacement drive to write the saved parameter set into memory.
What steps should be taken if an OU fault code occurs?
An OU code signals intermediate DC bus overvoltage (~400V DC threshold). Check whether the driven load is generating excessive regenerative energy during deceleration, extend the deceleration time (parameter C0013), activate the overvoltage controller (parameter C0562), or check for high line supply voltage.
Which fieldbus modules are compatible with the EVF8201-E front option slot?
The option slot supports the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module, EMF2171IB and EMF2172IB CANopen system bus modules, and EMF2102IB LECOM-A (RS232) or LECOM-B (RS485) adapters.
How can an EEr memory fault code be resolved?
An EEr code indicates non-volatile parameter memory corruption or EEPROM failure. Attempt to restore operation by resetting the drive to factory default settings via parameter C0002 = 1. If the fault persists after power cycling, internal board hardware failure has occurred.
