installing the products in a manner which will ensure compliance is maintained. You are also
responsible for testing any combinations of products that may (or may not) comply with the
Directives when used together. The end user of the products must comply with any Directives
that may cover maintenance, disposal, etc. of equipment or various components.
Although we
strive to provide the best assistance available, it is impossible for us to test all possible configurations
of our products with respect to any specific Directive. Because of this, it is ultimately your
responsibility to ensure that your machinery (as a whole) complies with these Directives and to keep
up with applicable Directives and/or practices that are required for compliance.
As of January 1, 1999, the DL05, DL06, DL205, DL305, and DL405 PLC systems
manufactured by Koyo Electronics Industries, FACTS Engineering or HOST Engineering,
when properly installed and used, conform to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC),
Low Voltage Directive, and Machinery Directive requirements of the following standards.
•
EMC Directive Standards Relevant to PLCs
EN50081–1 Generic emission standard for residential, commercial, and light industry
EN50081–2 Generic emission standard for industrial environment.
EN50082–1 Generic immunity standard for residential, commercial, and light industry
EN50082–2 Generic immunity standard for industrial environment.
•
Low Voltage Directive Standards Applicable to PLCs
EN61010–1 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory
use.
•
Product Specific Standard for PLCs
EN61131–2 Programmable controllers, equipment requirements and tests. This standard replaces
the above generic standards for immunity and safety. However, the generic emissions standards must
still be used in conjunction with the following standards:
-EN 61000-3-2 Harmonics
-EN 61000-3-2 Fluctuations
•
Warning on Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
We recommend that all personnel take necessary precautions to avoid the risk of transferring
static charges to inside the control cabinet, and clear warnings and instructions should be
provided on the cabinet exterior. Such precautions may include, the use of earth straps, similar
devices or the powering off of the equipment inside the enclosure before the door is opened.
•
Warning on Radio Interference (RFI)
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
General Safety
• External switches, circuit breaker or external fusing, are required for these devices.
• The switch or circuit breaker should be mounted near the PLC equipment.
AutomationDirect is currently in the process of changing their testing procedures from the
generic standards to the product specific standards.
