Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Lenze EVF8201-E is a compact 0.37 kW frequency inverter drive from the 8200 Vector series, engineered for speed and torque regulation of standard three-phase AC motors. Operating across a supply voltage range of 180 V to 264 V AC on single-phase or three-phase power lines, this panel-mounted drive provides a rated continuous output current of 2.4 A with an overload capacity up to 150% (3.6 A) for 60 seconds. Housed in an IP20 enclosure with a power dissipation rating of 35 W, the unit supports linear V/f, quadratic V/f, and high-torque sensorless vector control algorithms across an output frequency range of 0 to 480 Hz.
Integrating a replacement EVF8201-E into an existing control cabinet requires matching communication interfaces and transferring parameter configurations. The drive features a modular front interface slot accepting plug-in accessories such as the E82ZBC keypad operating module or dedicated fieldbus cards including PROFIBUS-DP (E82ZAFPC), CANopen (E82ZAFAC), DeviceNet (E82ZAFDC), and LECOM serial options (E82ZAFCC/E82ZAFSC). A spare unit requires parameter transferring; internal EEPROM memory holds four non-volatile parameter sets that must be backed up from the original unit and restored using the E82ZBC keypad or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software V4.0+. Where parameter extraction from a damaged drive is difficult, ABC Industrial Parts offers expert technical support to assist with parameter recovery and matching replacement units.
Drive operation and diagnostic feedback are monitored via front-panel status LEDs and accessible memory parameters. A solid green OPER LED indicates active inverter operation driving the motor, while a flashing green signal highlights controller inhibit; a solid or flashing red TRIP / FAULT LED signals an active system trip. Active diagnostic status can be read via parameter P000, while historic fault events are logged in the P168 history buffer or inspected in the GDC oscilloscope workspace. Diagnostic messages like OC1, OU, or LU point to field wiring or supply issues, but hardware codes such as H05 or memory errors EE0/EER signal internal component failures. When internal hardware errors occur, sourcing a tested exchange unit or utilizing repair options through ABC Industrial Parts ensures a rapid return to full production.

Programming and Configuration
Parameter management on the Lenze EVF8201-E relies on four internal non-volatile EEPROM parameter sets. Direct commissioning, monitoring, and parameter adjustment can be executed without a PC by attaching the optional E82ZBC LCD keypad operating module to the front interface slot. The keypad enables full access to the parameter tree, enabling technicians to clone settings between identical drives or perform manual parameter adjustments directly at the cabinet.
For complete drive commissioning and automated parameter backup, the drive connects to a PC running Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software version 4.0 or higher. The GDC workspace provides parameter management tools and live tracing capabilities. When preparing a replacement drive or clearing unknown parameter settings, the inverter can be reset to factory default values by setting parameter P009 to 1 before loading the application-specific configuration.
Communication and System Integration
The modular construction of the EVF8201-E allows seamless integration into industrial network environments without changing the base power unit. The integrated front module slot accommodates interchangeable fieldbus interface cards to establish real-time communication with high-level automation controllers and PLCs.
Supported communication modules include PROFIBUS-DP (E82ZAFPC), CANopen (E82ZAFAC), DeviceNet (E82ZAFDC), and LECOM serial modules (E82ZAFCC / E82ZAFSC). When swapping drives during maintenance, the original communication module must be unclipped from the failed unit, installed into the replacement drive, and verified for correct node addressing, baud rate, and bus termination settings.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
The EVF8201-E offers multi-level diagnostic tools to simplify troubleshooting. Front-mounted status LEDs provide visual confirmation of active drive power and fault states. Detailed runtime status is monitored via parameter P000 on the optional keypad display, while parameter P168 retains an internal fault history log of prior trip conditions.
In addition to parameter codes, detailed signal analysis and oscilloscope diagnostics can be performed through the Lenze Global Drive Control software interface, allowing engineers to track speed curves, output currents, and bus voltages during operating cycles.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OPER | Green - Solid / Flashing | Green Solid: Inverter enabled, motor running. Green Flashing: Inverter ready, controller inhibit active. |
| TRIP / FAULT | Red - Solid / Flashing | Fault condition present (Trip active). Persistent fault state indicates potential internal hardware error or external trip condition. |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
When replacing an EVF8201-E inverter, verify that the physical power specifications and mains voltage requirements match the application. The unit accepts single-phase or three-phase 180 V to 264 V AC inputs and delivers a continuous output of 2.4 A at 0.37 kW. Using a drive with incorrect electrical ratings can result in nuisance tripping or improper motor thermal protection.
Replacement drives must be configured with the application's parameter set before putting the equipment back into service. Parameter profiles must be restored from a backup or transferred using an E82ZBC keypad or Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software. Additionally, ensure that any plug-in fieldbus module (such as PROFIBUS E82ZAFPC or CANopen E82ZAFAC) is properly seated in the option slot and network parameters match the machine master configuration.
While the 8200 Vector series has been discontinued and replaced by the modern Lenze i510 and i550 series, direct replacement with a tested EVF8201-E unit avoids the downtime, mechanical cabinet modifications, and PLC re-programming associated with upgrading to a new inverter family.
