The Lenze 9400 Series is a comprehensive family of servo drives and inverters known for its flexibility and high performance. The "model" of a 9400 series drive is defined by a combination of its type code and a rating code.
Here is a breakdown of the different product lines (or "model families") within the 9400 series and how to understand their model numbers.
Understanding the Model Number Structure
A full model number like E94AVECA002S can be broken down as follows:
E94: The series identifier (9400 Series).
A: Product Line / Performance Class (e.g., A=BaseLine, V=HighLine).
VEC: Technology and Feature Set (e.g., VEC = Vector Control).
A: Option Code (e.g., for built-in interfaces).
002: Rating Code - This is the most critical part for sizing. The first digit(s) indicate voltage class, the last two indicate current rating.
002 = 2 Amps RMS
010 = 10 Amps RMS
044 = 44 Amps RMS (like your previous E94AMHE0244)
S: Special design or specific market version (not always present).
The 9400 series is divided into several main lines based on performance, cooling method, and form factor.
1. 9400 StateLine (Compact, Fanless)
Model Prefix: E94A...
Description: This is the compact, cost-effective line. Its key feature is that it is fanless, making it ideal for applications where noise must be minimized (e.g., food packaging, clean rooms). It offers good performance for standard applications without the need for the highest dynamics.
Cooling: Natural convection (fanless).
Power Range: Typically up to approx. 7.5 kW.
2. 9400 BaseLine (Standard Performance, Fan-Cooled)
Model Prefix: E94B...
Description: The standard workhorse of the series. It offers a balance of performance, features, and cost. It is fan-cooled, which allows for a higher power density than the StateLine.
Cooling: Fan.
Power Range: Covers a wide range, from small to medium-high power.
3. 9400 HighLine (High Performance, Dynamic)
Model Prefix: E94A... (often with H in the code, like MHE in your example) or E94V...
Description: This is the high-performance line for the most demanding applications. It features higher overload capabilities, faster cycle times, and superior dynamic response. Your E94AMHE0244 belongs to this category.
Cooling: Fan.
Power Range: Covers a very wide range, from medium to very high power.
4. 9400 Cabinet (High Power, Chassis-Type)
Model Prefix: E94C...
Description: These are chassis-type drives without an integrated heatsink. They are designed to be mounted into a control cabinet and connected to an external, often larger, cooling system (like a cabinet-cooling unit or a water-cooling circuit).
Cooling: External (by the customer).
Power Range: The highest power levels in the 9400 series.
