Lenze EMF2102IBCV001 Communication Module

Lenze EMF2102IBCV001 Communication Module for Series 8200

Product Introduction

The Lenze EMF2102IBCV001 expands the connectivity of your Series 8200 drives. This communication module enables data exchange using LECOM-A/B Version 2.0 protocol. You can choose between RS232 or RS485 physical media. Furthermore, it supports five selectable baud rates between 1200 and 19200 bps. The module consumes only 80 mA from a 24V DC supply. Its screw terminal design simplifies field wiring. With an IP20 rating, it works safely inside control cabinets.

Technical Specifications

Electrical and Communication Parameters

The Lenze EMF2102IBCV001 requires a rated supply voltage of 24 Volts DC. Its typical current consumption is only 80 milliamperes. For serial communication, it supports baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200 bps. Data is formatted as 7-bit ASCII characters. The module uses two protocols: LECOM-A over RS232 and LECOM-B over RS485.

Environmental Limits

This module operates reliably between 0°C and 55°C ambient temperature. For storage, you can keep it from -25°C up to 60°C. The housing carries an IP20 protection rating. Therefore, it resists solid objects larger than 12 mm but not moisture. Install it inside a dry, dust-protected enclosure.

Mechanical and Connection Details

Electrical connections use screw terminals. These terminals accept AWG 16 wire, which equals 1.5 mm². The recommended tightening torque is between 0.5 and 0.6 Nm. Thus, you get a secure and vibration-resistant connection.

Cable Compatibility and Distance Guidelines

For RS232 (LECOM-A)

Use a LiYCY low-frequency PVC shielded data cable. This cable type maintains signal integrity over shorter distances. The EMF2102IBCV001 works best with RS232 runs under 15 meters.

For RS485 (LECOM-B)

You have two cable options here. First, LiYCY cable supports distances up to 300 meters. Second, CYPiMF (Pair In Metal Foil Shielded Cable) reaches up to 1,200 meters. Therefore, you can position the drive far from the controller. Always use proper termination resistors for long cables.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use the Lenze EMF2102IBCV001 with other drive brands?
No. This module is designed exclusively for Lenze Series 8200 drives. It physically fits the expansion port and uses Lenze’s LECOM protocol. Other brands cannot interpret this communication.

2. What is the maximum cable length for RS485 with this module?
Using CYPiMF shielded cable, you can reach up to 1,200 meters. With standard LiYCY cable, the maximum length is 300 meters. Always keep the cable away from high-power lines.

3. Does the EMF2102IBCV001 support Modbus RTU?
No. This module only supports LECOM-A (RS232) and LECOM-B (RS485) Version 2.0. For Modbus RTU, you need a different optional module for Series 8200 drives.

4. How do I verify that the module is working properly?
Check the drive’s parameter menu for a "communication module present" indicator. Also, send a test read command from the master. If data returns correctly, the module functions normally.

5. Can I hot-swap the EMF2102IBCV001 while the drive is powered?
No. Always disconnect the 24V DC supply and the main drive power before inserting or removing the module. Hot-swapping may damage both the module and the drive.
