Product Information

Product Family: 8200 vector

The Lenze 00398913, model EVF-8241-E, is a 0.75 kW AC frequency inverter belonging to the 8200 vector drive platform. Operating on a 3-phase supply voltage from 320 V AC to 550 V AC at 45 to 65 Hz, this compact unit delivers a rated output current of 2.4 A with a peak overload capability of 3.6 A for up to 60 seconds. Designed for IP20 panel mounting, the inverter provides flexible motor control across an output frequency range of 0 to 480 Hz using sensorless vector control as well as linear or quadratic V/f characteristics.

System integration and control wiring are supported through terminal connections featuring six programmable digital inputs, two analog inputs supporting 0-10 V and 0/4-20 mA signals, one digital output, one analog output, and a changeover relay contact. Fieldbus communications are configured through the built-in Function Module (FIF) slot, which accepts plug-in modules for PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen, LECOM RS232/RS485, or Interbus networks. When commissioning a replacement unit, up to four internal parameter sets stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory must be configured or transferred using the optional EMZ8201BB Keypad XT operating unit or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software. Facilities requiring assistance with parameter extraction or spare unit preparation can rely on ABC Industrial Parts for pre-configured replacement drives.

Drive operation and status monitoring are indicated on the front panel via a green Operation LED and a red TRIP LED, which signal states such as drive running, controller inhibit, warning, or fault trips. Detailed diagnostic messages, status code registers, and a fault history buffer can be accessed through the Keypad XT display, GDC software, or over fieldbus networks like CANopen and PROFIBUS. Initial field verification should inspect mains input power, motor output wiring, switching frequency settings, and FIF module seating. If non-volatile memory errors or internal hardware failures such as trip codes EER, ETEM, or H05 occur, internal components are not field-serviceable, and sourcing a fully tested exchange drive through ABC Industrial Parts provides an immediate path to restoring production.

Programming and Configuration

Parameter management for the Lenze 00398913 drive is conducted through Global Drive Control (GDC) software or manually using the EMZ8201BB Keypad XT operating unit. The inverter contains four internal parameter sets stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory. This internal storage allows pre-configured control profiles to be saved directly on the device, facilitating quick switching between machine operating modes or rapid setup of duplicate machinery.

When installing a spare drive, parameter sets can be copied from a running unit to the Keypad XT module and subsequently loaded into the replacement EVF-8241-E inverter. Alternatively, parameters can be saved and restored via GDC software over a service computer connection. Correct parameter alignment ensures motor control modes, ramp times, thermal limits, and I/O assignments match the original control architecture.

Communication and System Integration

Networking and fieldbus expansion on the EVF-8241-E are realized via the integrated Function Module (FIF) slot. By inserting option modules such as the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS module or EMF2177IB CANopen module, the drive directly connects into industrial fieldbus networks without external gateways. The FIF slot also accepts LECOM communications interface cards for RS232 or RS485 serial communication, alongside Interbus interface options.

For hardwired control structures, the drive provides six freely programmable 24 V DC digital inputs, two setpoint analog inputs accepting 0-10 V, 0-20 mA, or 4-20 mA ranges, one open-collector digital output, one 0-10 V analog output, and a changeover relay contact rated at 250 V AC / 3 A. Cyclic process data, control bits, and status words can be routed simultaneously across fieldbus networks and local terminal I/O.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

The front panel features two status LEDs that give an immediate visual summary of the drive operational state. A solid green Operation LED indicates output power delivery, while a flashing green LED indicates active controller inhibit (CINH/IMP). A solid red TRIP LED signifies an active fault trip where output power is disabled, and a flashing red LED signals an active warning condition.

Detailed diagnostics are accessible via the EMZ8201BB Keypad XT display, GDC PC software, or network parameter channels. The drive maintains status code registers and a fault history buffer in memory, recording specific error codes for overcurrent, overvoltage, motor overtemperature, and network communication timeouts.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
Red LED (TRIP)Red - Solid / FlashingSolid ON: Fault trip active (drive disabled). Flashing: Warning or message active.
Green LED (Operation)Green - Solid / Flashing / OFFSolid ON: Drive running / output enabled. Flashing: Controller inhibit active (IMP / CINH). OFF: Supply voltage missing or internal control voltage failure.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When replacing an existing Lenze 00398913 drive with a spare EVF-8241-E, ensure that the part number and power rating (0.75 kW) strictly match the original unit. Before powering up the replacement inverter, verify that any installed fieldbus module—such as an EMF2133IB PROFIBUS or EMF2177IB CANopen card—is safely transferred from the donor drive into the replacement's FIF extension slot and properly seated.

Spare inverters must receive the original machine parameter backup before being put into service. Restoring stored parameter sets via the EMZ8201BB Keypad XT or Global Drive Control software reinstates motor data, I/O programming, acceleration/deceleration ramps, and network station addresses. For long-term machine upgrades or redesigns, Lenze i550 cabinet series drives serve as the modern manufacturer-recommended successor.
