Product Information

Product Family: System 2000

The Lenze 2008.1 is an analogue DC speed controller in the Lenze System 2000 product line, designed for speed regulation of permanent magnet and shunt-wound DC motors. Operating from a single-phase 230 V AC supply, this compact drive provides up to 8 A of continuous armature current to drive low- to medium-power industrial machinery. Built in an open-chassis IP00 panel-mount design with an integrated rear base-plate heatsink, the 2008.1 is constructed specifically for installation inside electrical control cabinets and Lenze System 2000 enclosures.

Wiring and commissioning are entirely hardware-based, eliminating the need for programming software or digital parameter transfer. External connections for mains input, motor armature, setpoint reference potentiometers, and feedback lines are established through terminal screw blocks. Speed reference values can be provided using a standard 0-10V potentiometer, while speed holding is achieved via either armature voltage feedback with IxR compensation or direct connection to a DC tachometer. Commissioning a replacement spare unit involves setting accessible onboard trimmer potentiometers to match the original drive's minimum and maximum speed settings, acceleration and deceleration ramp times, and maximum current limit. ABC Industrial Parts can assist maintenance teams with sourcing and setting up compatible replacement drives for existing machinery.

System status and immediate fault indications are visible directly on the front of the unit via status LEDs. The READY indicator confirms operational status and power, while the FAULT / OVERCURRENT indicator signals an active trip or overcurrent state. Electrical technicians can also perform field troubleshooting by measuring hardware test points on the main control board to inspect setpoint values and armature voltage outputs. When internal component degradation or board-level electronic faults prevent normal drive operation, replacement or professional repair through ABC Industrial Parts provides a direct solution to restore production uptime.

Programming and Configuration

The Lenze 2008.1 speed controller relies completely on manual hardware tuning via onboard trimmer potentiometers rather than digital software parameters or software tools. Calibration of the drive parameters is performed directly on the unit using standard adjustment tools, making installation and field adjustment straightforward without dedicated software interfaces.

Accessible onboard potentiometers allow precise setting of minimum and maximum speed limits, acceleration and deceleration ramp durations, and current limits. The maximum armature current setting can be tuned up to 1.5 times the rated current to accommodate temporary overload conditions required by high-inertia loads or heavy starting cycles. Feedback modes are configured directly on the board, selecting between armature voltage feedback with adjustable IxR compensation for standard speed regulation or DC tachometer feedback for precision speed control.

Communication and System Integration

Field connection to the Lenze 2008.1 is established using screw terminals for all control wiring, mains supply, motor armature connections, and feedback signals. Speed reference signals can be supplied via a standard 0-10V reference potentiometer, allowing straightforward control interface with machine operator control stations.

Designed for integration into industrial control panels, the unit features an open-chassis IP00 structural frame fitted with an integrated rear heatsink base plate for direct panel mounting. The chassis aligns with standard Lenze System 2000 drive mounting enclosures and is suitable for packaging machinery, conveyor drive panels, material handling systems, and machine tool feed applications.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Visual diagnostics for the Lenze 2008.1 are provided through onboard status LED indicators located on the front panel. These LEDs give technicians immediate feedback on controller supply status and overload condition without requiring extra diagnostic tools.

In addition to the LED status indicators, the drive includes physical test points located on the main control board. Technicians can measure voltage across these test points to evaluate the incoming setpoint signal and output armature voltage directly during operation.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When swapping a Lenze 2008.1 DC speed controller, verify that the existing system utilizes a single-phase 230 V AC supply and requires an armature current rating up to 8 A. Because operational parameters are set physically on the drive, key settings such as speed range limits, current limit threshold, and ramp times must be recorded from the existing unit or machine specification sheet before replacing the module.

Ensure that the feedback selection mode—either armature voltage with IxR compensation or DC tachometer feedback—matches the original wiring scheme. Mechanical mounting requires an open panel space or System 2000 enclosure capable of accommodating the IP00 chassis and providing adequate thermal dissipation across the rear base-plate heatsink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is software or programming required to set up the Lenze 2008.1?

No programming software is required. The Lenze 2008.1 is an analogue controller configured entirely using onboard trimmer potentiometers to adjust speed limits, current limits, and acceleration/deceleration ramp times.

What motor types can be controlled with the Lenze 2008.1?

The Lenze 2008.1 is designed to control permanent magnet DC motors and shunt-wound DC motors operating up to 8 A continuous armature current.

What speed feedback methods does the Lenze 2008.1 support?

The drive supports two speed regulation modes: armature voltage feedback with adjustable IxR compensation or direct DC tachometer feedback connected via terminal screws.

What supply voltage does the Lenze 2008.1 require?

The Lenze 2008.1 operates from a 230 V AC supply.

What do the front status LEDs indicate on the unit?

The READY LED indicates that the drive is powered and ready for operation, while the FAULT / OVERCURRENT LED indicates an active trip condition or that the drive has reached its current limit.
