Notes concerning the safe and EMC-compliant installation
8.14.1
Definitions and terms
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) or electromagnetic interference (EMI) includes the following requirements:
Sufficient immunity of an electrical installation or an electrical device against external electrical, magnetic, or
electromagnetic interferences via cables or the environment.
Sufficiently small unwanted emission of electrical, magnetic, or electromagnetic interference from an electrical
installation or an electrical device to other devices in the vicinity via cables or the environment.
8.14.2
General information on EMC
The interference emission and interference immunity of a servo positioning controller always depend on the overall drive
concept consisting of the following components:
Power supply
Servo positioning controller
Motor
Electromechanical system
Configuration and type of wiring
Superordinate control system
In order to increase interference immunity and to decrease interference emissions, the item Servo Positioning Controller C 3-
Series has integrated output chokes and line filters so that it can be used without additional shielding and filtering devices in
most applications.
The item Servo Positioning Controller C 3-Series are certified as per the product standard EN 61800-3 for
electrical drive systems.
In most cases no external filtering is required (see below).
The declaration of conformity in line with the EMC directive 2004/108/EC is available from the manufacturer
upon request.
Caution!
In a residential (i.e. non-industrial) environment, this product can cause high-frequency interferences that may
require interference suppression measures.
8.14.3
EMC areas: first and second environment
The item Servo Positioning Controller C 3-Series fulfil the requirements of the applicable product standard EN 61800-3,
provided that the servo positioning controllers are properly installed and the connecting lines are properly wired. This standard
