Het item werd toegevoegd aan uw offerteaanvraag
Product Information
The Lenze EVF8213-E is a 3-phase AC frequency inverter drive within the 8200 Vector series, engineered to provide precise motor speed and torque control in demanding industrial automation applications. Delivering a rated power output of 3.0 kW with a continuous rated output current of 7.3 A and an 8.0 A nominal input current, this drive operates on a 3-phase input supply ranging from 320 V AC to 550 V AC and produces an output voltage from 0 to 480 V AC across an output frequency range of 0 to 480 Hz. Housed in an IP20 panel-mount enclosure, the unit features an integrated Class A RFI and EMC filter to suppress high-frequency electromagnetic interference, eliminating the need for external line filtering in standard control cabinets.
Built on a modular hardware concept, the EVF8213-E power unit separates drive control from the physical power stage, connecting to interchangeable function modules, fieldbus communication cards, or the Lenze EMZ8201BB keypad operating module. Commissioning and parameter assignment are performed using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software or directly via pluggable parameter memory modules such as the Lenze EWR8201. Because a replacement unit requires existing parameterization to control the motor correctly, operating settings can be transferred directly using the memory module or loaded into the non-volatile internal EEPROM, which supports up to four independent parameter sets. When retrieving operational parameters from an unresponsive unit is required, ABC Industrial Parts can assist in parameter extraction to prepare a fully configured replacement.
Real-time operating status and diagnostic alerts are provided through multi-color front LEDs alongside structured software parameters. Status parameter C0161 displays active fault codes, while parameter C0168 stores historical trip events inside an integrated fault memory buffer for troubleshooting. Initial diagnostic checks should verify incoming 3-phase line voltages at terminals L1, L2, and L3, confirm proper motor insulation and phase resistance, and check that plug-in control modules are firmly seated. If internal hardware faults such as EEPROM checksum failures or gate driver errors occur, internal repair or a tested replacement drive from ABC Industrial Parts offers the most effective pathway to restore production uptime.

Programming and Configuration
The Lenze EVF8213-E frequency inverter utilizes Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software for setup, tuning, and configuration management. GDC enables engineering personnel to modify drive parameters, upload and download parameter files, and perform real-time monitoring over a serial interface. The drive supports flexible control modes, including linear V/f curves, quadratic V/f curves for fan and pump applications, and sensorless vector control for high dynamic response and low-speed torque performance.
Drive settings are saved within non-volatile EEPROM memory capable of storing up to four distinct parameter sets. This allows a single inverter to be configured for multiple operational recipes or switching machine profiles. For hardware replacements, settings can be transferred using the portable Lenze EWR8201 parameter memory module or by restoring saved parameter sets via GDC software. In the event of parameter corruption, loading factory defaults via parameter C0002 (C0002 = 1) resets the control board to a known initial state.
Communication and System Integration
System connectivity for the EVF8213-E is established through modular plug-in interface modules attached directly to the drive front. Network integration options include the Lenze EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP interface module as well as the Lenze EMF2171IB and EMF2172IB CANopen system bus modules. Support is also available for LECOM serial communication (RS232/RS485), InterBus, and DeviceNet, enabling seamless integration into diverse PLC architecture topologies.
The physical separation of communication electronics from the main inverter power stage allows simple network migration or fieldbus protocol conversion without modifying the underlying power hardware. When operating on fieldbus networks, process data transfer rates and watchdog parameters monitor continuous bus health, generating specific fault trips such as CE1 for LECOM timeouts or CE3 for CANopen system bus interruptions if communication integrity is compromised.
Diagnostics and Status Indication
Diagnostic monitoring on the EVF8213-E is facilitated through visual LED indication, display modules, and internal parameter registers. The drive features dual status LEDs on the front panel: a Green LED indicating drive operational readiness or active running states, and a Red LED signalling active trip faults or warning sequences. Diagnostic parameter C0161 provides immediate identification of current fault conditions, while the C0168 fault memory buffer stores historical fault events to aid in intermittent error diagnosis.
Status LED Indicators
| LED | Color/Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Green LED | Green - Solid / Flashing | Lit solid indicates drive ready/running. Flashing indicates drive inhibit (IMP) or operating mode state. |
| Red LED | Red - Solid / Flashing | Lit solid indicates active trip/fault condition. Flashing indicates warning or fault sequence. |
Replacement and Spare Part Considerations
When replacing an existing Lenze EVF8213-E drive, maintenance technicians must match both the power stage rating and the specific control interface module installed. The drive unit itself consists of the power section rated for 3.0 kW at 320 to 550 V AC input, while control terminals, keypads like the EMZ8201BB, or fieldbus cards (such as PROFIBUS-DP or CANopen) are detachable components that should be moved from the original unit or replaced with identical option modules.
A new or replacement drive cannot operate directly out of the box without parameter configuration. Operating parameters including motor data, acceleration/deceleration ramp times (C0012/C0013), control modes, and fieldbus node addresses must be loaded prior to operation. Transferring the pluggable Lenze EWR8201 parameter memory module or flashing saved configuration files using GDC software ensures that drive characteristics match the original machine specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What software is used to program and parameterize the Lenze EVF8213-E?
The drive is programmed and configured using Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) PC software. Alternatively, basic parameter adjustments can be made using the plug-in EMZ8201BB keypad operating module, or parameters can be transferred using an EWR8201 memory module.
How do I transfer parameter settings from an old EVF8213-E drive to a replacement unit?
Parameter settings can be transferred by moving the pluggable EWR8201 parameter memory module from the original drive to the replacement unit, or by backing up and restoring parameter files via Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software over a PC interface connection.
What do the Red and Green front LEDs on the EVF8213-E indicate?
A solid Green LED indicates the drive is ready or running, while a flashing Green LED indicates drive inhibit (IMP) or a specific operating mode state. A solid Red LED indicates an active trip/fault condition, and a flashing Red LED indicates a warning or active fault sequence.
What causes an OU fault code on the EVF8213-E inverter?
An OU fault indicates a DC bus overvoltage condition (>770 V DC). This is typically caused by high regenerative energy from the motor during rapid deceleration or excessively high mains supply voltage. Recommended actions include increasing deceleration time (C0013) or connecting an external braking chopper and resistor.
Can the Lenze EVF8213-E communicate over fieldbus networks like PROFIBUS or CANopen?
Yes, the EVF8213-E supports fieldbus communication via plug-in option modules, including the EMF2133IB PROFIBUS-DP module and the EMF2171IB or EMF2172IB CANopen system bus modules.
