9-1 Glossary
Machinery Directive
Safety directive which applies to machines shipped to EU region.
This directive is for an assembly of linked parts or components, at
least one of which moves and co-operates for a specific purpose,
and in which a drive system is incorporated or intended to be incor-
porated.
EMC Directive
The directive is for electromagnetic compatibility, which applies to
any electronic devices shipped to EU region.
Electronic devices have a possibility of “EMI or emission,” which has
them play a role of noise source affecting other electric devices, and
a possibility of “EMS or immunity,” which has them affected by noise
generated by surrounding electronic devices.
EMC means that electronic devices achieve not only reduction of
electromagnetic energy emitted, conducted or propagated by them-
selves, but also resistance to electromagnetic energy generated by
surrounding electronic devices.
IEC 61508-1 to 7
JIS C 0508-1 to 7
The standards that pertain to general functional safety for electrical,
electronic, and programmable electronic devices.
These standards are provided intended to serve as basic and me-
chanical safety standards that are applicable for various types of
industries.
Functional safety is defined as the “totally safe part that associates
EUC (Equipment under control) and ECU control with a system
depending on correct functioning of safety-related system of E/E/
PE (electrical/electronic/programmable electronic), other technology
safety related systems, and external risk reduction equipment.”
EN 55011
Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance character-
istics of industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment.
FSD
The abbreviation for Final Switching Device.
Components of a safety-related control system of a machine that
cuts off the circuit of main element of the machine when control out-
put is turned OFF.
Lockout status
Status in which this device cannot operate normally. In this status,
