LENZ EPL10200-W EPZ-10203 CANPT010W3E
Introduction
The Lenze EPL10200-W is a drive-integrated, freely programmable compact PLC system (commonly known as a Drive PLC) manufactured by Lenze.
Engineered to embed high-performance programmable logic controller functionality directly onto variable frequency drives (VFDs) and servo systems, it allows for decentralized automation control.
This unit is paired with the Lenze EPZ-10203 (CANPT010W3E) extension board, which expands its communication capabilities (specifically adding robust CAN bus interfaces) and supplements its standard physical $I/O$ count.
This combination eliminates the need for standalone central PLCs in modular machine building, significantly lowering hardware footprint, reducing wiring complexity, and minimizing network communication lag.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Guidelines
Mounting: Ensure the base unit and the EPZ-10203 extension module are firmly fastened together before sliding them into the designated control slot of the main drive framework. Do this only when the unit is entirely powered down.
Wiring Protections: Always isolate analog and encoder cabling from heavy 3-phase AC power lines to avoid electromagnetic cross-induction. Ground the 9-pin D-Sub shield comprehensively.
Power Supply: Provide a clean, regulated $24\text{ VDC}$ power architecture. Voltage s
