Electromagnetic compatibility (abbreviation: EMC)
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the desirable condition that electromagnetic devices do not
interfere with each other through unintended electrical or electromagnetic effects.
EMC cable gland
An EMC cable gland is a special type of cable gland. It is used to establish the electromagnetic compatibility
of the cables/wires. Inside the EMC cable gland there is a contact area to ground the cable shield of the
cable/wire.
To ensure electromagnetic compatibility, the EMC cable gland must always be used together with a shielded
cable/wire. In addition, the installation of the cable/wire and EMC cable gland must be carried out
according to the specifications in the installation manual of the manufacturer of the EMC cable gland.
IDE VECTOSTUDIO
IDE VECTOSTUDIO is used to program extensions for VEConfig.
IGBT
The IGBT is a variant of a power transistor. The IGBT switches the voltage to either the "+" or "-" of the
output, generating a current flow. IGBT switching generates current ripples.
Logical connection
The logical connections indicate the connections used for control and signal exchange: for example [ST1].
Mounting plate
The mounting plate is the surface on which the device is mounted.
Power connection
The power connections are the connections at which the electrical power is consumed and delivered: for
example, DC link [DC+/-], output [/-], and brake chopper [BR+/-].
Tightening the screws crosswise
Tightening the screws "crosswise" in "two steps" protects the component from becoming deformed.
"Crosswise" means that diagonally opposite screws are tightened one after the other, for example: the screw
at the bottom left, at the top right, at the top left, at the bottom right, ...
In "two steps" means that the screws are first tightened crosswise with a torque that is less than the
maximum allowed. In the second step, the screws are tightened in the same order as before with the
maximum permitted torque.
U
B
U
B
is the internal ARADEX designation for the voltage supply of the logical connections. This corresponds to
the terminal KL_30B in automotive engineering.
