Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Lenze 00400037 EVF8215-E is a 5.5 kW frequency inverter from the Lenze 8200 Standard series, designed for open-loop speed regulation of standard three-phase AC induction motors. Operating on a three-phase mains supply between 320 V and 550 V AC with a nominal rating of 3x 400/480 V AC, this cabinet-mounted AC drive delivers up to 13 A rated output current using customizable linear or quadratic V/f characteristic control profiles. Built inside an IP20 panel-mount housing, the unit is engineered for installation within control cabinets operating machinery in material handling, packaging, water treatment, and general manufacturing environments.
Field connection to control hardware is made via onboard terminal strips providing six digital inputs, one digital output, one relay output, two analog inputs, and one analog output. For fieldbus integration, the inverter features an expansion slot accepting optional communication modules such as PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2133IB), CANopen (EMF2171IB / EMF2172IB), and LECOM serial interfaces. Putting a spare EVF8215-E into service requires transferring parameter configurations from the original unit, as drive settings govern motor limits, ramps, and I/O routing. Parameter backup and download are accomplished using either the plug-in EMZ8201BB keypad module memory function or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. Technical assistance with parameter extraction from donor hardware or faulty drives is available from ABC Industrial Parts to help ensure exact configuration alignment.
Diagnostic monitoring and fault identification are provided directly on the front panel through dual LED status indicators. A solid green LED confirms normal operation and drive readiness, while a flashing green light indicates drive inhibit or an active warning condition. A solid or flashing red LED alerts operators to an active TRIP fault. Detailed error history can be viewed via the EMZ8201BB keypad display or the GDC software diagnostic window. First-line troubleshooting should verify three-phase supply symmetry, motor insulation integrity, and proper seating of option modules. If internal hardware memory errors like EEr or micro-controller hardware failures like H05 occur, field repair is not possible; acquiring a fully tested exchange unit or utilizing specialized repair through ABC Industrial Parts provides a rapid solution to restore line operation.

Programming and Configuration
Parameter adjustments on the Lenze EVF8215-E are managed using the plug-in EMZ8201BB operating keypad or Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. Drive parameters are structured by code numbers, such as C012 for acceleration ramp times, C013 for deceleration ramp times, and C011 for maximum frequency settings. The optional EMZ8201BB keypad incorporates an internal copy function that allows a complete drive parameter set to be saved into keypad memory and uploaded directly into a replacement drive on-site without requiring a computer.
When using PC engineering software, Lenze GDC connects to the inverter via the LECOM communication slot. The software enables online monitoring, drive commissioning, and local project backup creation. If parameters become corrupted or need to be reset to factory default state, setting parameter C002 to 1 restores the factory configuration. Resetting parameters or reloading project backups ensures correct control matching before enabling motor output.
Communication and System Integration
The EVF8215-E frequency inverter integrates into control architectures via onboard I/O terminals and dedicated fieldbus option slots. Onboard physical connection points include six digital inputs, one digital open-collector output, one relay output, two analog inputs, and one analog output. The configurable relay output provides status feedback, such as drive Fault or Ready state, directly to higher-level PLC inputs.
Higher-level fieldbus networking is achieved by inserting optional communication modules into the drive's integrated expansion slot. Supported interface options include PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2133IB), CANopen (EMF2171IB / EMF2172IB), and LECOM serial adapters. Communication monitoring functions safeguard network integrity: serial timeout on the LECOM interface triggers fault code CE0, while a disruption between the inverter control board and an installed fieldbus module results in fault code CE1.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
Operational diagnostic indicators on the Lenze 00400037 EVF8215-E consist of two front-mounted status LEDs combined with software diagnostic windows. The green status LED indicates operational readiness and controller inhibition states, while the red LED indicates active TRIP faults. Detailed error codes and historical fault logs are accessed via the display on the EMZ8201BB keypad or within the diagnostic window of Lenze Global Drive Control software.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Green LED (Betrieb / Ready) | Green - Solid / Flashing | Solid ON = Inverter ready / operating. Flashing = Inverter inhibited or warning active. |
| Red LED (Störung / Fault) | Red - Solid / Flashing | Solid ON or Flashing = TRIP fault active (drive faulted). Off = Normal operation. |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
Replacing an existing Lenze EVF8215-E inverter requires matching both power ratings and parameter profiles. Matching part number 00400037 and type identifier EVF8215-E ensures physical cabinet fit and terminal compatibility. Because a replacement unit contains default factory parameters out of the box, existing application parameters must be transferred from the original unit using an EMZ8201BB keypad memory module or Lenze GDC software prior to placing the machinery back into service.
For long-term modernization planning, Lenze offers the i550 cabinet frequency inverter series as a successor solution. However, keeping identical 8200 Standard drives on hand as spares allows immediate physical replacement without modifying control cabinet layout, wiring looms, or master PLC fieldbus configurations. Before re-energizing the drive, technicians should verify input phase voltages across terminals and ensure motor cabling insulation is fully intact to prevent initial overcurrent or ground faults.
