Lenze EVS9327-EPV004 9300-Series Servo Position Controller (15.0 kW)

Product Overview

The EVS9327-EPV004 (EVS9327 EPV004) is a high-capacity, precision-engineered servo position controller from Lenze’s legacy 9300-Series. Rated at 15.0 kW, this drive is designed to handle heavy-duty motion control tasks, providing the torque and velocity regulation required for large-scale industrial machinery such as gantry cranes, high-output extruders, and complex packaging lines. With an IP20 protection rating, the EVS9327-EPV004 is intended for cabinet-mounted installations, offering a proven, reliable platform for businesses maintaining or optimizing existing automation infrastructures. Although this specific model reached its official production phase-out in 2017, it remains a critical component for professional electrical engineering due to its robust internal logic and high power density.

Technical Configuration

The 9300-Series "Servo Position Controller" is specialized for applications where precise positioning is paramount. The EVS9327-EPV004 features advanced internal feedback processing that supports high-resolution resolvers or encoders to ensure accurate load positioning under varying stress. Its technical architecture is built for "testable" reliability, facilitating deep diagnostics and quality assurance through the Lenze Global Drive Control (GDC) software. The unit integrates seamlessly with diverse fieldbus systems via pluggable modules and features a comprehensive thermal management system to maintain its 15.0 kW output without compromising component longevity in standard industrial ambient temperatures.

Technical Specifications

Technical FAQs

Can the EVS9327-EPV004 be integrated into modern Industrial Ethernet networks?

While the base unit features standard RS-232/485 and CANopen, it can be integrated into modern networks (such as EtherCAT or PROFINET) by utilizing the appropriate Lenze 9300-series plug-in communication modules.

What is the significance of the "Servo Position Controller" designation?

Unlike a standard frequency inverter, the Servo Position Controller includes built-in profiles for "Point-to-Point" positioning, homing sequences, and synchronized motion. This reduces the processing load on the central PLC.

Are replacement parts still available for this phase-out model?

Since production ended in 2017, new units are primarily sourced from existing global stock. However, because of its widespread use, many critical internal components and cooling fans are still accessible for refurbishment and maintenance.

Engineering & Installation Guide

• Thermal Clearance & Airflow: Due to the 15.0 kW power rating and the substantial 12.5 kg mass, this drive generates significant heat. Vertical installation is mandatory. Ensure a minimum clearance of 100 mm above and below the unit to allow the integrated cooling fans to circulate air effectively through the internal heat sinks.

• EMC and Grounding: To maintain positioning accuracy, use shielded motor cables with 360-degree contact at the EMC shield plates. Ensure the mounting plate in the control cabinet is galvanically connected to the system earth to prevent high-frequency interference from affecting the resolver signals.

• Legacy Software Compatibility: Configuration and tuning of the EVS9327-EPV004 are typically performed using "Lenze Global Drive Control" (GDC). If migrating to a modern PC, ensure you have the correct USB-to-CAN or RS-232 interface adapters compatible with legacy Lenze drivers.
