Product Information

Product Family: 9300 Series | Series: 9300 Series

The Lenze EVS9327-EP is an 11 kW digital servo position controller in the 9300 Series family, designed to manage high-dynamic motion tasks in automated machinery. Operating on a 3-phase AC supply ranging from 320 V to 528 V AC with a rated input current of 22 A, this unit supplies a continuous output current of 23.5 A and a maximum peak current of 35.3 A at an 8 kHz switching frequency. Built specifically for demanding multi-axis positioning, speed control, and torque management applications, the controller incorporates integrated pre-programmed function blocks that handle point-to-point positioning and electronic gearbox functions without relying on external motion modules.

System connections and fieldbus integration are achieved through an onboard Sub-D 9-pin CAN system bus interface supporting CANopen communication, along with a dedicated Automation Interface slot for plug-in fieldbus modules such as PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2133IB), DeviceNet (EMF2175IB), or INTERBUS (EMF2113IB). Control wiring connects to four digital inputs, four digital outputs, two ±10V bipolar analog inputs, two analog outputs, and feedback terminals supporting resolvers as well as SinCos or incremental encoders with encoder simulation output. Replacing an existing controller requires transferring the machine's parameter setup, which can be completed using Lenze Global Drive Control software or by plugging in a Keypad XT module (EMF2102IB) to transfer stored configuration data from the non-volatile internal EEPROM. When replacing an operational unit, ABC Industrial Parts can assist with sourcing tested replacement units and verifying configuration transfers.

Diagnostic information is provided on the front panel via two status LEDs: a green LED indicating drive enabled or inhibited status, and a red LED signaling warning or active fault conditions. Detailed diagnostic codes and operational registers are accessible through the Keypad XT module, CANbus registers, or the Global Drive Control monitoring tools. Fault codes such as OC1 (short circuit), OU (DC bus overvoltage), or LU (DC bus undervoltage) point directly to external power, motor, or braking resistor issues, whereas internal system faults like H05 or EEPROM errors (EER) indicate board-level component failure. When internal hardware trips occur that cannot be serviced on site, securing a tested exchange unit or professional unit repair from ABC Industrial Parts offers a direct path to restoring machine operation.

Programming and Configuration

Parameterization and system setup for the Lenze EVS9327-EP are managed using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) engineering software or directly through the optional Keypad XT EMF2102IB display module. The controller features internal non-volatile EEPROM memory capable of retaining up to four independent, switchable parameter sets. These parameter sets store configuration data including motor parameters, positioning profiles, ramp times, I/O mapping, and fieldbus node parameters.

When commissioning a new unit or swapping a replacement into an existing installation, drive parameters can be quickly duplicated. Connecting the Keypad XT module allows technicians to back up settings from a functional drive and restore them directly into the replacement unit without needing a PC connection. Alternatively, GDC software enables parameter backup, off-line modification, real-time diagnostic monitoring, and oscilloscope-based position loop tuning.

Communication and System Integration

The EVS9327-EP features built-in communication capabilities provided by an onboard 9-pin Sub-D CAN system bus interface. Supporting CANopen communication, this interface allows high-speed coordination between multiple drives, system controllers, and distributed I/O in multi-axis motion setups. For integration into broader fieldbus networks, the drive includes a flexible Automation Interface (AIF) expansion slot designed for plug-in fieldbus modules, including PROFIBUS-DP (EMF2133IB), DeviceNet (EMF2175IB), and INTERBUS (EMF2113IB).

Physical interface options are expanded through onboard control terminals, including four programmable digital inputs, four digital outputs, two bipolar ±10V analog inputs with 12-bit resolution, and two analog outputs with 10-bit resolution. Feedback integration supports resolvers as well as high-resolution SinCos or incremental encoders, complemented by a dedicated encoder simulation frequency bus output for master-slave synchronization.

Diagnostics and Status Indication

Status monitoring for the EVS9327-EP is supported by front panel diagnostic LEDs and digital monitoring software. The green LED indicates whether the drive is operational or inhibited, while the red LED alerts operators to a trip fault condition or an active warning. Detailed status parameters, history buffers, and fault logs can be accessed via the Keypad XT display, CAN/AIF fieldbus registers, or the trace and oscilloscope diagnostic views inside Lenze Global Drive Control software.

Status LED Indicators

Operation / Green LEDGreen - Solid / BlinkingSolid green indicates drive enabled and operating; blinking green indicates drive inhibited / controller lock

Replacement and Spare Part Considerations

Replacing a Lenze EVS9327-EP requires matching both the exact hardware specification and the parameter set used by the machine logic. Because the 9300 series utilizes modular positioning function blocks, any replacement unit must be configured with the identical parameter set and fieldbus node address to ensure proper interaction with the main machine PLC. Fieldbus communication cards (such as PROFIBUS EMF2133IB or DeviceNet EMF2175IB) must be moved from the original unit to the replacement slot or configured identically.

Before restoring power to a replacement drive, line fuses, motor terminal connections (U, V, W), motor feedback wiring, and thermal sensor connections (terminals T1/T2) should be thoroughly verified. Transferring stored configuration data via the pluggable Keypad XT EMF2102IB memory module simplifies field swap execution, minimizing down time while avoiding manual parameter entry errors.
