User Guide for Bohui E200 Series Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

1. Introduction

The Bohui E200 series Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a high-performance, reliable vector control inverter widely used in industrial automation, including fans, pumps, textile machinery, machine tools, packaging, and food processing. It supports VF control, open-loop vector control, and closed-loop vector control, and features PLC functionality, PID control, multi-speed operation, and high-speed pulse input.

This guide provides a detailed explanation of the E200 series operation panel, parameter settings, external control wiring, and fault troubleshooting to help users efficiently operate and maintain the device.


2. Operation Panel Overview

2.1 Panel Buttons and Functions

The E200 series VFD operation panel includes the following buttons:

ButtonFunction
RUNStarts the VFD.
STOP/RESETStops the VFD or resets faults.
MODESwitches between parameter setting and monitoring modes.
UP/DOWNAdjusts parameter values or navigates menus.
ENTERConfirms parameter settings or enters submenus.
JOGUsed for jog operation or command source switching.

2.2 Display Screen Functions

The display screen shows real-time data, including:

  • Running frequency
  • Set frequency
  • Bus voltage
  • Output current
  • Fault codes

Users can customize the display content via F0-00 (Menu Mode Selection).


3. Parameter Settings and Management

3.1 Restoring Factory Default Settings

To reset all parameters to factory defaults:

  1. Press MODE to enter parameter setting mode.
  2. Navigate to F0-47 (Parameter Initialization).
  3. Set F0-47 = 1001 to restore factory settings (excluding motor parameters).
  4. Set F0-47 = 1002 to reset recorded information.
  5. Press ENTER to confirm. The VFD will restart automatically.

3.2 Setting and Removing Password Protection

To prevent unauthorized parameter changes, the E200 supports password protection:

Setting a Password

  1. Enter F0-46 (Password Setting).
  2. Set a non-zero value (e.g., 1234).
  3. Confirm with ENTER. The password will be required to access parameters.

Removing a Password

  1. Enter F0-46.
  2. Set the value to 0.
  3. Confirm with ENTER. Password protection will be disabled.

3.3 Parameter Access Restrictions

The E200 allows different access levels via F0-44 (Parameter Access Level):

LevelAccess Permission
0No restrictions.
1Basic parameter modifications only.
2Most parameter modifications allowed.
3Monitoring only (no modifications).
4Fully locked.

Steps to Set Access Level:

  1. Enter F0-44.
  2. Select the desired level (0~4).
  3. Confirm with ENTER.

4. External Terminal Control and Speed Adjustment

4.1 External Terminal Forward/Reverse Control

The E200 supports forward and reverse control via external terminals.

Wiring Terminals

  • X1: Forward run (default function).
  • X2: Reverse run (requires configuration).
  • COM: Common terminal.

Parameter Settings

  1. Enter F5-00 (X1 Input Function Selection) and set to 1 (Forward Run).
  2. Enter F5-01 (X2 Input Function Selection) and set to 2 (Reverse Run).
  3. Ensure F0-02 (Run Command Channel Selection) is set to 1 (Terminal Control).

Wiring Example:

  • Connect an external switch or PLC output to X1 and X2, with COM as the common terminal.

4.2 External Potentiometer Speed Control

The E200 supports speed adjustment via an external potentiometer (010V or 420mA).

Wiring Terminals

  • AI1: Analog input terminal (default 0~10V).
  • +10V: Reference voltage output.
  • ACM: Analog common terminal.

Parameter Settings

  1. Enter F0-03 (Main Frequency Source Selection) and set to 2 (AI1).
  2. Configure F5-24~F5-27 to set the AI1 input range (e.g., 010V corresponds to 050Hz).
  3. Ensure F0-02 (Run Command Channel Selection) is set to 1 (Terminal Control).

Wiring Example:

  • Connect the potentiometer to AI1 and ACM, and use +10V as the reference voltage.

5. Fault Codes and Troubleshooting

The E200 displays fault codes on the screen or via U0-62 (Current Fault Code). Below are common faults and solutions:

Fault CodeFault NamePossible CauseSolution
OC1Acceleration OvercurrentShort acceleration time, excessive loadIncrease acceleration time (F0-10), check load
OC2Deceleration OvercurrentShort deceleration time, high inertiaIncrease deceleration time (F0-11), add braking resistor
OU1Acceleration OvervoltageHigh supply voltage, insufficient brakingCheck power supply, add braking unit
LUUndervoltage FaultLow supply voltageCheck power supply stability
OL2Motor OverloadMotor overheating, excessive loadCheck motor cooling, reduce load
IPLInput Phase LossMissing input phaseCheck input power wiring
ETFExternal FaultExternal fault signalCheck external control wiring
CoFCommunication FaultCommunication line issueCheck communication interface and wiring

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Check U0-62 for the fault code.
  2. Refer to the table above to identify the cause.
  3. Take corrective action.
  4. Press STOP/RESET to clear the fault after resolution.

6. Conclusion

The Bohui E200 series VFD is a powerful and flexible device suitable for various industrial applications. This guide covers operation panel functions, parameter settings, external control wiring, and fault troubleshooting to help users operate the VFD efficiently.
