Product Information

Product Family: i500 | Series: i550

The Lenze I55AE155F1AV10000S is a 0.55 kW (0.75 hp) variable frequency inverter designed for control cabinet integration within the Lenze i500 product family. Operating across a 3-phase mains supply voltage range of 320 to 528 V AC at 45 to 65 Hz, this compact drive delivers a continuous output current of 1.8 A at 400 V AC and 1.5 A at 480 V AC in an IP20 open-type housing. It controls both AC induction motors and permanent-magnet synchronous motors with output frequencies ranging from 0 to 599 Hz, offering motor regulation methods that include linear/quadratic V/f control, sensorless vector control (SLVC), sensorless synchronous motor control (SL-PSM), and closed-loop vector control (CLVC). Integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) functional safety certified to SIL 3 and PL e levels, a built-in EMC filter, and an integrated dynamic brake chopper provide reliable motion control while conserving internal enclosure space.

Field connections and terminal wiring are established through pluggable spring-cage control terminals incorporating 5 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 1 PNP digital output, 1 relay output, and 1 analog output. Commissioning and spare-unit preparation are streamlined by an onboard plug-in EPM memory card slot, enabling parameter cloning without main line voltage applied to the drive. Setup and parameter adjustment can also be conducted through the built-in Micro-USB interface using Lenze EASY Starter software, or wirelessly via the optional WLAN module I5MADW0000000S and Smart Keypad App. Industrial fieldbus integration is accomplished using modular plug-in extensions supporting PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus RTU, CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, and IO-Link networks. ABC Industrial Parts supports maintenance teams with pre-configured replacement units and parameter replication directly from removable storage modules.

Operational status and error detection are indicated via front-mounted RDY (Ready) and ERR (Error) dual status LEDs and 4-digit keypad diagnostic display codes. Complete diagnostic data and fault tracking are accessible through active fault parameter P200.00, historical fault log P205.00, or live trace monitoring in EASY Starter. First-line field checks should verify mains line voltage balance across L1, L2, and L3, output motor phase connections U, V, and W, motor insulation resistance, and clear cooling fin airflow. If diagnostics indicate power stage short circuits or internal hardware degradation, board-level repairs are non-serviceable in the field, and procuring a tested exchange drive through ABC Industrial Parts offers a rapid path back to full plant operation.

Programming and Configuration

Parameter management and drive commissioning rely on the pluggable EPM memory card module located on the inverter body. The EPM card stores all user parameters, motor data, and application profiles. Because parameter data can be written or cloned using an external memory programmer without applying mains voltage to the inverter, spare drives can be formatted prior to cabinet installation or swapped directly during emergency service.

Detailed engineering, software parameterization, and real-time diagnostic trace routines are conducted using Lenze EASY Starter software over the integrated Micro-USB interface. For wireless control and parameter monitoring, the drive supports the optional WLAN module I5MADW0000000S, enabling field technicians to adjust parameters, view operational statistics, and monitor drive behavior via the Lenze Smart Keypad App.

Communication and System Integration

The Lenze i550 cabinet inverter utilizes a flexible modular interface design to interface with centralized machine control networks. The base drive accepts optional fieldbus communication modules that plug directly into the unit, offering native integration into PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus RTU, CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, and IO-Link industrial automation environments.

Field connection points utilize pluggable spring-cage terminal blocks for rapid installation and maintainability. Physical input/output capabilities include 5 configurable digital inputs, 2 resolution-matched analog inputs (0-10V, 0-20mA, or 4-20mA), 1 digital PNP output, 1 high-capacity relay output, and 1 analog output, alongside hardwired safety terminals for the integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) functional safety circuit certified to SIL 3 and PL e.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Local drive status is indicated by front-panel LEDs designated RDY (Ready) and ERR (Error). The RDY LED displays operational readiness, drive inhibition, running status, active warnings, and active fault conditions using green, yellow, and red color patterns. The ERR LED isolates system error states, blinking red during active trip conditions and remaining solid red in the event of hardware or internal memory errors.

Extended diagnostic procedures can be carried out using the keypad display, parameter inspection, or software trace utilities. Parameter P200.00 displays current active fault codes, while parameter P205.00 retains a historical fault log. Real-time oscilloscopes and signal trace logs can be reviewed by connecting EASY Starter via Micro-USB or using the Lenze Smart Keypad App over an optional WLAN connection.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
RDY (Ready LED)Green / Red / Yellow - Blinking / Solid / OffOff: Power off; Blinking Green: Drive ready / inhibited; Solid Green: Operating / enabled; Blinking Red: Fault active; Blinking Yellow: Warning active
ERR (Error LED)Red - Blinking / Solid / OffOff: No error; Blinking Red: Trouble/Fault detected (tripped); Solid Red: Internal hardware or memory error requiring service

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When replacing a failed unit, verify that the replacement match matches part number I55AE155F1AV10000S to ensure identical electrical ratings (0.55 kW / 0.75 hp, 3-phase 320–528 V AC) and integrated hardware features such as the SIL 3 / PL e STO safety module, dynamic brake chopper, and internal EMC filter.

Downtime during physical drive exchange is minimized by transferring the original EPM memory card into the replacement inverter. This operation immediately transfers all parameter sets, motor parameters, and fieldbus node configurations without requiring software tools or line power. Any optional hardware expansion modules, such as fieldbus option cards or the WLAN communication module, must be moved from the old drive to the spare unit before commissioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are parameters transferred to a new Lenze I55AE155F1AV10000S replacement drive?

Parameters can be transferred by swapping the removable EPM memory card from the original unit directly into the replacement inverter. This duplicates all parameter settings and motor configurations without needing line power or PC software. Alternatively, parameters can be backed up and reloaded using Lenze EASY Starter software via Micro-USB.

What functional safety capabilities are integrated into this drive model?

The I55AE155F1AV10000S includes hardware-based Safe Torque Off (STO) certified to SIL 3 according to EN 62061 and Performance Level e (PL e) according to EN ISO 13849-1.

Which communication networks are supported by this inverter?

The drive supports integration with PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus RTU, CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, and IO-Link networks using option cards attached to the inverter interface slot.

What do the RDY and ERR LEDs indicate during operation?

The RDY LED indicates operating states: blinking green for ready/inhibited, solid green for active operation, blinking yellow for active warnings, and blinking red for active faults. The ERR LED blinks red during trip faults and remains solid red if an internal hardware or memory error occurs.

What action should be taken if fault code 0x2320 (Transistor Overcurrent) appears?

Disconnect the motor power cables from terminals U, V, and W and test the drive output. If error 0x2320 continues to trip with no motor connected, an internal IGBT power stage failure has occurred and the drive unit requires repair or replacement.
