1.3 Terminology used
Term Meaning
Drive unit
Communication unit
Wiring unit
The 8400 motec controller is designed modularly. It consists of the modules
"drive unit", "communication unit" and "wiring unit".
• The drive unit is available in different power ratings.
• In case of the communication unit you can select between:
–Nofieldbus
–AS-i option (simple/complete)
–CANopen option (simple/complete)
–PROFIBUS option (simple/complete)
• The wiring unit provides flexible connections for an easy integration into the
power supply of the machine.
»Engineer« Lenze PC software which supports you in "engineering" (parameterisation,
diagnostics and configuration) throughout the whole life cycle, i.e. from
planning to maintenance of the commissioned machine.
Application A technology application is a drive solution equipped with Lenze's experience
and know-how in which function and system blocks interconnected to a signal
flow are the basis for implementing typical drive tasks.
ASM Asynchronous motor
Code Parameter used for controller parameterisation or monitoring. The term is
usually called "index".
DC injection brake The DC injection brake is to brake and/or hold the motor. For this purpose, the
8400 motec creates a quasi DC field at the stator of the asynchronous machine.
The energy to be dissipated is converted into heat in the rotor.
Diagnosis terminal / keypad The diagnosis terminal combines the keypad with a housing and a connecting
cable. The diagnosis terminal serves to check or change various settings. In a
quick commissioning menu, the controller can be parameterised in the basic
settings by means of the diagnosis terminal.
Note: If this documentation contains descriptions of settings with the keypad,
use the diagnosis terminal instead for the 8400 motec, since the keypad cannot
directly be plugged into the diagnostic interface of the 8400 motec.
Display code Parameter that displays the current state or value of an input/output of a
system block.
EPM Memory module on which all parametes of the drive system are saved non-
volatilely. These include the parameters of the controller and communication-
relevant parameters for the communication unit used.
Function block A function block can be compared with an integrated circuit that contains a
certain control logic and delivers one or several values when being executed.
• Each function block has a unique identifier, e.g. "L_MPot_1" (motor
potentiometer function)
Holding brake The holding brake serves to hold the rotor by means of a mechanical unit.
LA Abbreviation: Lenze Application block
• Example: "LA_NCtrl" – block for the "actuating drive speed" application.
Lenze setting This setting is the default factory setting of the device.
LP Abbreviation: Lenze Port block
• Example: "LP_Network_In" – port block for fieldbus communication.
LS Abbreviation: Lenze System block
• Example: "LS_DigitalInput" – system block for digital input signals.
Port block Block for implementing the process data transfer via a fieldbus

About this documentation
Terminology used
QSP Quick stop
Service brake The service brake serves to shutdown rotary or translatory masses in motion in
a controlled manner. The energy to be dissipated in this process is converted into
heat in the form of friction energy. This process is a regular and recurring
operating mode.
SLVC Motor control: Sensorless vector control ("SensorLess Vector Control")
Subcode If a code contains several parameters, the individual parameters are stored
under "subcodes".
This Manual uses a slash "/" as a separator between code and subcode
(e.g. "C00118/3").
The term is usually called "subindex".
System block In the application, system blocks provide interfaces to basic functions and to the
hardware of the controller (e.g. to the digital inputs).
USB diagnostic adapter The USB diagnostic adapter is used for the operation, parameterisation, and
diagnostics of the controller. Data are exchanged between the PC (USB
connection) and the controller (diagnostic interface on the front) via the
diagnostic adapter.
• Order designation: E94AZCUS
VFCplus Motor control: V/f characteristic control ("Voltage Frequency Control")
VFCplusEco Motor control: V/f characteristic control - energy-saving
In this motor control mode, the controller adapts the motor voltage to the
requirements of the load. Especially at speeds lower than 50 % of the rated
speed and a reduced torque, losses in the motor and in the controller can be
reduced. Hence, the usually bad efficiency of the drive in partial load operational
range is increased significantly.

Introduction: Parameterising the controller
2 Introduction: Parameterising the controller
[2-1] Exemplary constellation for parameterising the controller
Being a component of a machine which includes a speed-variable drive system, the
controller needs to be adjusted to its drive task and the motor. The controller is adjusted by
changing parameters which are saved in the memory module.
The parameters can optionally be accessed from the diagnosis terminal, or the L-force
»Engineer«, or a master control via fieldbus communication:
Simply connect the diagnosis terminal to the diagnostic interface being located on the
top of the device.
The USB diagnostic adapter, for instance, can be used for the communication between
the PC (including the L-force »Engineer« software) and the controller, see illustration.
The USB diagnostic adapter is the connection between the PC (free USB port) and the
controller (diagnostic interface).
For fieldbus communication, you can choose between different communication units:
AS-i, CANopen and PROFIBUS.
Danger!
In general, changing a parameter causes an immediate response in the
controller!
• This may lead to undesirable behaviour on the motor shaft if the controller
has been enabled!
• Setpoint sources, for instance, may switch over all of a sudden (e.g. when
configuring the signal source for the main setpoint).
Certain device commands or settings which may cause critical states of drive
behaviour constitute exceptions. Such parameter changes are only possible if
the controller is inhibited. Otherwise, a corresponding error message will be
issued.
Information on how to commission the 8400 motec using the diagnosis terminal
can be found in the hardware manual!

Introduction: Parameterising the controller
General notes on parameters
16 LFirmware ≤02.00 - DMS 2.1 EN - 03/2011
2.1 General notes on parameters
All parameters for controller parameterising or monitoring are saved as so-called "codes".
The codes are numbered and indicated by the prefix "C" before the code, e.g. "C00002".
In addition, every code has a name and specific attributes:
– Access type (read, write)
–Datatype
– Limit values
– Lenze setting (factory-set scaling)
For the sake of clarity, some codes contain "subcodes" for saving parameters. This
Manual uses a slash "/" as a separator between code and subcode, e.g. C00115/1".
According to their functionality, the parameters are divided into three groups:
Tip!
The terms "code" and "subcode" generally correspond to the terms "index" and
"subindex" and "parameter" and "subparameter".
Parameter group Examples
Setting parameters
Parameters for specifying setpoints and for setting device /
monitoring functions.
C00007: Selection of control mode
C00012: Acceleration time - main setpoint
C00039: Fixed setpoints
Configuration parameters
Parameters for configuring signal connections within the
device, e.g. assignment of the digital input terminals to the
control inputs of the application.
C00620: System connection list: 16-bit
C00621: System connection list: Bool
C00700: LA_NCtrl: Analog connection list
C00701: LA_NCtrl: Digital connection list
Diagnostic/Display parameters
Parameters for displaying device-internal process factors,
current actual values, and status messages, e.g. for
diagnostic purposes. These are read-only parameters.
C00052: Motor voltage
C00137: Device state
C00150: Status word

Introduction: Parameterising the controller
Handling the memory module
2.2 Handling the memory module
All parameters of the drive system are saved non-volatilely on the memory module. These
include the parameters of the controller and communication-relevant parameters for the
communication unit used.
The plug-in version is especially suited for
restoring an application after replacing a device.
duplicating identical drive tasks within the frequency inverter series8400 motec, e.g. by
using the optionally available EPM Programmer.
When handling the memory module, a distinction is drawn between the following
scenarios:
Delivery status
The memory module is plugged into the EPM slot of the drive unit.
The Lenze setting of the parameters is stored in the memory module.
The memory module is available as a spare part - without any data.
During operation
Parameter sets can be saved manually.
Parameter sets can be loaded manually.
Parameter changes can be saved automatically.
Danger!
After power-off, wait at least three minutes before working on the controller.
When removing the memory module, ensure that the controller is deenergised.
Note!
• When the device is switched on, all parameters are automatically loaded
from the memory module to the main memory of the controller.
– When the DIP switches are active (DIP switches S1\1 = "ON"), the controller
operates with the settings made via the DIP switches and displays them in
the corresponding codes.
• The 8400 BaseLine and 8400 motec controllers use the same (grey) memory
module. The memory module can be shifted between these controllers but
the controller must be reparameterised afterwards.

Introduction: Parameterising the controller
Handling the memory module
18 LFirmware ≤02.00 - DMS 2.1 EN - 03/2011
Replacing the controller
In the event of a device replacement, the entire parameter data of an axis can be copied
to the replacement device by "taking along" the memory module, so that additional PC
or diagnosis terminal operations are not required.
When replacing the controller, the versions of the old device and the new device are of
importance. Before data are actually transferred, the versions are internally checked.
Basically, the following applies:
– Parameter sets of old devices with V 1.0 can be processed on new devices ≥V1.0
(downward compatibility).
– Parameters of devices with higher versions are not supported on devices with lower
versions. An error message will be issued if the parameter set versions of the two
devices are not compatible.
Saving the parameters in the memory module safe against mains failure
Controller parameter changes via the »Engineer«, the diagnosis terminal, or a master
control via fieldbus communication will be lost after mains switching of the controller
unless the settings have been explicitly saved.
You have several options to avoid data loss by saving the parameter sets in the memory
module:
Automatic saving of parameter changes (37)
Manual saving of parameter settings (37)
Parameter set transfer using the »Engineer«
When an online connection to the controller has been established, the following transfer
functions can directly be executed via the Toolbar or the Online menu using the L-force
»Engineer«:

Detailed information on parameter set transfers using the »Engineer« can be
found in the »Engineer« online help.

Safety instructions with regard to commissioning
20 LFirmware ≤02.00 - DMS 2.1 EN - 03/2011
3.1 Safety instructions with regard to commissioning
General safety instructions
In order to prevent injury to persons or damage to material assets
before connecting the mains voltage, check
– The wiring for completeness, short circuit, and earth fault
– The "emergency stop" function of the entire system
– The motor circuit configuration (star/delta) must be adapted to the output voltage
of the controller
– The in-phase connection of the motor
– The direction of rotation or the encoder (if available)
Check the setting of the most important drive parameters before enabling the
controller:
– The V/f rated frequency must be adapted to the motor circuit configuration!
– The drive parameters relevant for your application must be set correctly!
– The configuration of the I/O terminals must be adapted to the wiring!
Make sure that no speed setpoint is pending before controller enable.
Safety instructions with regard to motor operation
Danger!
The RFR control input is connected as default with a bridge to +24 V, which
means that the controller is enabled!
• This input can also be used for switching on/off the drive. For this purpose,
the bridge must be replaced by cabling.
Danger!
• For thermal reasons, continuous operation of self-ventilated motors at a low
field frequency and rated motor current is not permissible!
– In the Lenze setting, the Motor temperature monitoring (PTC) is activated.
(125)
• In the Lenze setting, the Brake resistor monitoring (I2xt) is activated. The
activation of the monitoring function causes a switch-off of the braking
operation. (126)
• With regard to the setting of the V/f base frequency (C00015), observe the
following difference to the controllers 8400 StateLine/HighLine/TopLine:
In case of the 8400 motec, the reference voltage for the V/f base frequency is
the rated motor voltage (C00090) according to the motor nameplate (inde-
pendent of the supply voltage).
