Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Lenze 8102_E.3C.11 is a 1.5 kW frequency inverter designed for precise speed control of standard 3-phase asynchronous AC motors. As part of the Lenze 8100 Series, this drive operates on a 3-phase AC input supply ranging from 323 V AC to 528 V AC (380 V to 480 V AC nominal) and converts incoming mains power into a variable frequency output from 0 Hz to 480 Hz. Designed for space-saving control cabinet installation with an IP20 enclosure rating, the drive uses V/f characteristic control and a high 16 kHz switching frequency to deliver smooth motor performance with minimal operational noise across conveyor systems, fans, pumps, and processing equipment.
Control connections are made directly via onboard screw terminals, providing four digital inputs for control signals, two analog setpoint inputs supporting 0–10 V or 0/4–20 mA signals, and one 0–10 V analog output. Communication flexibility is extended through an integrated slot that accepts plug-in modules, including LECOM-A (RS232), LECOM-B (RS485), and LECOM-LI (CAN bus). Commissioning a replacement unit requires transferring the drive's parameter configuration. Parameters can be copied using the optional Lenze 8101 operating keypad or PC-based Global Drive Control (GDC) software, utilizing the drive's non-volatile internal EEPROM. ABC Industrial Parts can assist in preparing replacement drives with configuration pre-loading to minimize machine downtime.
Comprehensive diagnostic tools are built directly into the inverter. Front-panel status LEDs provide immediate feedback on operational readiness and TRIP fault conditions, while a hardware TRIP relay output signals fault states to supervisory PLCs. Specific fault codes and operational metrics can be read out using parameter codes C013 and C016 via the keypad or software interface. When experiencing repeated overvoltage, overcurrent, or internal EEPROM hardware errors, verification of supply lines, motor cabling, and internal memory stability is recommended. Internal hardware or component failures are not field-serviceable; replacing the unit or utilising tested exchange services through ABC Industrial Parts ensures a rapid return to production.

Programming and Configuration
Parameterization of the Lenze 8102_E.3C.11 frequency inverter is accomplished through either the plug-in Lenze 8101 operating keypad or PC-based software using Global Drive Control (GDC). Commissioning involves setting motor nameplate parameters, ramping times, analog setpoint scaling, and input functionality. Key parameters such as C013 and C016 provide access to stored fault history and internal status logs.
The drive incorporates internal non-volatile EEPROM memory to safely retain parameter settings when unpowered. Using the Lenze 8101 keypad, technicians can perform direct parameter copying from one inverter to another, facilitating quick configuration without requiring a dedicated PC. When programming via software, parameter files can be extracted, modified, and restored directly to donor or replacement drives.
Communication and System Integration
The 8102_E.3C.11 features an integrated communication slot designed to accept modular fieldbus adapters. Available plug-in communication modules include LECOM-A for RS232 serial interfaces, LECOM-B for RS485 network connections, and LECOM-LI for CAN bus system integration. These modules allow remote control, parameter editing, and state monitoring from higher-level PLCs or control software.
Hardwired terminal integration uses dedicated screw terminals for field signals. The drive provides four digital inputs for essential functions such as drive enable, start/stop, and fault reset, along with two analog inputs for frequency reference setpoints. One analog output is provided for motor speed or frequency monitoring, and a dedicated TRIP relay contact allows integration into machine safety loops.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
The Lenze 8102_E.3C.11 incorporates front panel status LEDs and parameter readouts for live diagnostic checks. The green Ready / Power LED lights solid when the drive is powered and ready, and flashes during active motor operation or warning conditions. A solid red Fault / TRIP LED indicates an active fault state that shuts down inverter output.
Detailed diagnostic monitoring is available through parameter codes C013 and C016, which display specific active and historical fault codes on the keypad or within Global Drive Control software. External hardware integration is supported by the dedicated TRIP terminal relay output, which triggers an external alarm or opens safety interlocks upon drive failure.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Ready / Power | Green - Solid or Flashing | Solid green indicates ready for operation; flashing green indicates run state or warning condition. |
| Fault / TRIP | Red - Solid | Solid red indicates a TRIP fault present due to internal hardware faults, overvoltage, or overcurrent. |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
When replacing an existing Lenze 8102_E.3C.11 inverter, verify that the incoming supply voltage and motor power ratings match the original installation. The replacement unit must have its parameters copied from the original drive or configured using saved parameter files via Global Drive Control (GDC) or an 8101 keypad.
Ensure any plug-in LECOM communication modules (LECOM-A, LECOM-B, or LECOM-LI) fitted to the existing drive are transferred to the replacement unit. Fieldbus addresses, baud rates, and terminal jumpers on the module must remain identical to maintain communication with the control network.
