2.6 Electromagnetic Compatibility
2.6.1 Definition
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of a device to function satis-
factorily in its electromagnetic environment without itself causing any
electromagnetic interference that would be intolerable to other devices
in this environment.
Of all known phenomena of electromagnetic noise, only a certain
range occurs at the location of a given device. These kinds of noise
are specified in the applicable standards.
Refer to IEC 61131-4, User's Guideline, for general installation instructions
to be complied with to ensure that hardware interface factors and the ensu-
ing noise voltages are limited to tolerable levels.
2.6.2 Interference Emission
DIN EN 6100-6-4
2.6.3 General Notes on Installation
As component parts of machines, facilities and systems, electronic
control systems must comply with valid rules and regulations, depend-
ing on their field of application.
General requirements concerning the electrical equipment of ma-
chines and aiming at the safety of these machines are contained in
Part 1 of European Standard EN 60204 (corresponds to VDE 0113).
For safe installation of our control system please observe the information
contained in the next chapters (
