E82ZAFSC Lenze 8200 vector
The Lenze E82ZAFSC is a system bus communication module designed for use with the Lenze 8200 vector frequency inverter series. This module extends the communication capabilities of the 8200 vector drive family, enabling integration into automated control architectures via the CAN-based system bus (CANopen). It is a plug-in accessory module that mounts directly onto compatible 8200 vector inverter units.
The E82ZAFSC module supports the CANopen communication protocol, allowing the inverter to exchange process data and parameter information with PLCs, HMIs, and other CANopen-capable devices on the network. It provides a standardized DS301 and DSP402 device profile interface, enabling coordinated motion and drive control across multi-axis systems. The module is designed for straightforward installation into the designated communication slot on the 8200 vector inverter, requiring no additional power supply.
The E82ZAFSC is commonly used in conveyor systems, material handling equipment, packaging machinery, and general industrial automation where CANopen network communication is required. It is particularly suited for applications where multiple drives must be coordinated via a fieldbus network, or where a central PLC needs to monitor and control inverter parameters remotely. The module is compatible with the full range of Lenze 8200 vector inverters that feature the system bus communication slot.

Common Fault Codes
- CE (Communication Error)
- Loss of CANopen communication or bus timeout detected by the inverter.
Check CAN bus wiring, verify termination resistors at both ends of the bus, confirm baud rate settings match all nodes on the network. - F01
- Overcurrent fault on the inverter, may occur during commissioning with fieldbus control.
Check motor parameters, verify acceleration/deceleration ramp settings, and ensure correct motor data is programmed in the inverter. - F02
- Overvoltage on the DC link, can be triggered by rapid deceleration commands via CANopen.
Increase deceleration ramp time, check supply voltage level, and consider adding a braking resistor if regenerative energy is excessive. - F03
- Undervoltage on the DC link detected.
Check mains supply voltage and connections. Verify supply is within the rated input voltage range of the inverter. - F04
- Inverter overtemperature fault.
Check ambient temperature, ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter, verify cooling fan operation, and reduce switching frequency if necessary. - F07
- Motor overtemperature or motor protection threshold exceeded.
Check motor thermal sensor wiring, verify motor protection settings in the inverter parameters, and check motor load conditions. - F25
- CANopen module configuration error or node address conflict detected.
Verify node address (Node-ID) settings on the E82ZAFSC module, ensure no duplicate node addresses exist on the CANopen network. - F28
- Fieldbus communication watchdog timeout — no valid process data received within the configured timeout period.
Check CANopen master cycle time, verify PDO mapping and transmission type settings, and ensure the master controller is actively sending process data objects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What communication protocol does the E82ZAFSC module support?
The E82ZAFSC supports the CANopen protocol based on the CAN system bus, conforming to DS301 and DSP402 device profiles. It allows the 8200 vector inverter to be integrated into CANopen networks for process data exchange and remote parameter access.
Does the E82ZAFSC require an external power supply?
No, the E82ZAFSC module is powered directly through the communication slot of the 8200 vector inverter and does not require a separate external power supply.
Which Lenze inverter series is the E82ZAFSC compatible with?
The E82ZAFSC is designed specifically for the Lenze 8200 vector frequency inverter series. It is not compatible with other Lenze inverter families such as the 8200 motec or E82x series without the appropriate communication slot.
What baud rates are supported by the E82ZAFSC?
The module supports standard CANopen baud rates up to 1 Mbit/s, with selectable baud rates typically set via DIP switches or software parameters on the module.
Can the E82ZAFSC be used for multi-drive coordination?
Yes, the E82ZAFSC enables the 8200 vector inverter to participate in a CANopen network, making it suitable for multi-drive applications where a PLC or motion controller coordinates multiple inverters simultaneously via the fieldbus.
Troubleshooting
CANopen communication is not established after installing the E82ZAFSC module
Check that the module is fully seated in the communication slot of the inverter. Verify the Node-ID and baud rate settings on the module match the network configuration. Inspect CAN bus wiring for correct connection of CAN_H, CAN_L, and GND.
Reseat the E82ZAFSC module firmly in the inverter slot. Correct Node-ID and baud rate settings to match the CANopen master. Ensure bus termination resistors (120 ohm) are present at both physical ends of the CAN bus cable.
Inverter triggers a communication watchdog fault (fieldbus timeout) during operation
The CANopen master is not sending process data objects (PDOs) within the configured watchdog timeout period. Check the master PLC cycle time and PDO transmission settings. Verify network load and cable integrity.
Increase the watchdog timeout value in the inverter parameters to accommodate the master cycle time, or reduce the master cycle time. Check for excessive network load or cable faults causing message delays.
E82ZAFSC module is not recognized by the inverter after installation
Confirm the inverter firmware version supports the E82ZAFSC module. Check for physical damage to the module connector pins. Verify the module is installed in the correct slot designated for system bus communication.
Update the inverter firmware if required. Inspect and clean the module connector. Replace the E82ZAFSC module if physical damage is found on the connector or PCB.
Incorrect or unstable process data values received from the inverter via CANopen
Check PDO mapping configuration in both the inverter and the CANopen master. Verify that the correct data types and scaling factors are applied. Inspect CAN bus cable for noise, improper shielding, or excessive cable length.
Reconfigure PDO mapping to ensure correct parameter assignment. Apply correct scaling in the master controller. Use shielded twisted-pair cable for the CAN bus, ground the shield at one end, and verify total bus length does not exceed limits for the selected baud rate.
Drive does not respond to speed or control commands sent via CANopen
Verify that the inverter control source is configured to accept commands from the fieldbus (CANopen) rather than from local terminals or analog inputs. Check that the correct control word bits are being set by the CANopen master.
Set the inverter control source parameter to fieldbus/CANopen control. Ensure the master is sending the correct DSP402 control word to enable and start the drive. Confirm that the drive is not in a fault or inhibit state that prevents operation.
