Electromagnetic Compatibility
Introduction
This chapter presents information about immunity to interference of fail-safe modules and
about EMC conformity.
Definition of EMC
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an electrical device to function in its
electromagnetic environment in a satisfactory manner without affecting this environment.
Fail-safe modules also comply with the requirements of the EMC law for the European
Single Market. As a requirement, the ET 200S distributed I/O system must comply with the
specifications and guidelines for electrical configuration.
Pulse-Shaped Interference
The following table presents the electromagnetic compatibility of fail-safe modules with
regard to pulse-shaped interference.
Pulse-Shaped Interference
