Product Information

Product Family: 8200 vector

The Lenze 13010031 EVF8223-E is a 4.0 kW panel-mounted frequency inverter from the Lenze 8200 vector series, engineered for precise speed and torque control of 3-phase AC induction motors. Operating on a three-phase supply voltage ranging from 320 V to 550 V AC, this compact drive delivers a continuous output current of 9.5 A at a standard switching frequency of 8 kHz with a maximum output frequency of 480 Hz. Housed in an IP20 enclosure for direct cabinet installation, the unit features advanced motor control methods including V/f characteristic control and sensorless vector control. It is suited for demand-driven industrial equipment such as conveyor systems, material handling networks, industrial ventilation fans, pumps, and automated packaging lines.

Integrating a replacement inverter into an existing machine network requires matching communication interfaces and transferring operational parameters. The EVF8223-E includes an integrated system bus CAN interface operating at up to 500 kbit/s for inter-drive synchronization and master control communication. A modular plug-in slot accepts optional fieldbus communication modules, including the PROFIBUS-DP module (EMF2133IB) and LECOM RS232/RS485 module (EMF2102IB), as well as DeviceNet and Interbus adapters. The drive contains non-volatile EEPROM storage capable of holding up to four complete parameter sets. When replacing an existing unit, configuration settings can be transferred using the optional Keypad XT (EMF2102IB) module or downloaded over a USB-CAN adapter (EMF2177IB) using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. ABC Industrial Parts can support maintenance teams requiring tested replacement units and parameter extraction assistance to restore production quickly.

Diagnostic status is monitored via a multi-color status LED on the front interface, where solid green indicates an operational state, flashing green signifies an enabled running drive, flashing red flags a warning or active TRIP fault condition, and an unlit LED indicates missing supply voltage or internal power failure. Comprehensive diagnostic records, including a TRIP fault history buffer, can be accessed using the Keypad XT module or online diagnostic screens in GDC software. Standard initial checks involve verifying incoming mains supply voltage across all three phases, checking supply fuses, inspecting motor power cables for short circuits or ground faults, and ensuring adequate airflow across the cooling heatsink. When internal faults such as memory corruption (EE0) or internal hardware failure (H10, H11) occur, field repair is not possible, making unit replacement or repair through ABC Industrial Parts the effective path back to full operational status.

Programming and Configuration

The Lenze 13010031 EVF8223-E frequency inverter supports two operating modes: V/f characteristic control for standard AC motor speed regulation and sensorless vector control for demanding applications requiring high dynamic torque performance across broad speed ranges. Machine-specific tuning parameters determine current limits, acceleration and deceleration ramps, carrier frequencies, and motor thermal protection thresholds.

Parameterization is carried out either locally using the detachable Keypad XT (EMF2102IB) operator interface or remotely using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software connected via a USB-CAN adapter (EMF2177IB) or LECOM communication module. The integrated non-volatile EEPROM memory retains up to four independent parameter sets directly on the inverter, allowing rapid selection between preset machine configurations.

During commissioning or unit swap-out, stored parameter sets can be copied from the internal EEPROM to a replacement inverter using the Keypad XT module or written from a saved GDC project file. Ensuring full parameter alignment between the inverter and connected motor specifications prevents nuisance overcurrent or thermal trip events during startup.

Communication and System Integration

The Lenze EVF8223-E drive features an integrated CAN system bus interface operating at communication speeds up to 500 kbit/s. This onboard connection allows cross-drive synchronization, multi-axis master-slave operation, and direct connection to higher-level controllers using CANopen protocols without requiring auxiliary interface cards.

For broader fieldbus integration, the drive includes a modular function slot designed to accept optional communication modules. Supported options include the PROFIBUS-DP module (EMF2133IB), LECOM RS232/RS485 module (EMF2102IB), DeviceNet module, and Interbus module. These modules allow seamless inclusion into industrial PLC networks for cyclic real-time control and remote system diagnostic access.

Correct system integration requires configuring matching node addresses and baud rates, as well as installing 120-ohm termination resistors at both ends of a CAN bus line segment. Using the USB-CAN adapter (EMF2177IB), control engineers can conduct live bus monitoring and drive trace evaluations directly through Global Drive Control software.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Real-time status monitoring on the Lenze 13010031 EVF8223-E relies on a multi-color status LED located on the front panel alongside internal diagnostic logging routines. Active TRIP conditions actuate a dedicated internal fault relay contact, which can be connected to external alarm indicators or PLC control inputs for immediate automated response.

A diagnostic history buffer stored in the drive's internal EEPROM memory maintains a log of previous fault codes and trip events. Maintenance personnel can inspect these historical diagnostic records using the Keypad XT display interface or through the online diagnostic screens in Lenze Global Drive Control software to pinpoint root causes such as line overvoltage, phase loss, or motor thermal overload.

Status LED Indicators

LEDColor/StatusMeaning
Drive Status LEDRed / Green - Solid Green / Flashing Green / Flashing Red / OffGreen lit: Drive operational/ready. Green flashing: Drive enabled/running. Red flashing: Warning or active TRIP fault condition. Off: Supply voltage missing or internal hardware failure.

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

When replacing a failed Lenze 13010031 EVF8223-E inverter, verify that the replacement unit matches the exact 4.0 kW power output and 320 V to 550 V AC input supply criteria. Ensure any fieldbus communication adapter, such as a PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2133IB) or LECOM (EMF2102IB) module, is detached from the donor drive and correctly seated into the replacement unit's function slot.

Replacement drives do not retain machine-specific parameters out of the box. Before restarting production, transfer stored parameter configurations from the original drive using the Keypad XT module memory copy routine or load a verified project backup file via Lenze Global Drive Control software.

Although the Lenze 8200 vector product family has been phased out, operational machinery can be maintained with exact replacement units, or retrofitted to the recommended successor series, the Lenze i550 cabinet frequency inverter. When installing a replacement EVF8223-E unit, verify that system bus CAN termination resistors and node addresses are restored to match network topography.
