EtherCAT Conformance Marking
10.8.1
An EtherCAT device conformance mark is attached to each drive in order to verify that the unit has been tested
for compliance with the EtherCAT marking, indicator and performance guidelines covered by the ETG standards
listed in section 10.8
. Future drive revisions intend to achieve “Conformance tested” marking by independent
verification through an externally registered body.
CE Marking
10.8.2
A CE mark is attached to each drive in order to verify that products meets the relevant Low Voltage and
Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) directives of the European Union.
10.8.2.1
European EMC Directive EN 61800-3
The object of this standard (61800-3) is to define the limits and test methods for a Power Drive System (PDS)
according to its intended use, whether residential, commercial or industrial. The standard sets out immunity
requirements and requirements for electromagnetic emissions as minimums within these different environments.
The AMD5x PIUs and Drives are intended for use as Category 3 PDS, and have been tested and certified to
comply for use within what 61800-3 defines as the second environment. The AMD5x PIUs and Drives comply
with the standard with the following provisions:
1. The motor and control cables are selected according the specifications given in this manual.
2. The PIUs and Drives are installed and maintained according to the instructions given in this manual.
3. The maximum cable lengths are 30 metres.
Warning:
A drive of category C3 is not intended to be used on a low-voltage public network which supplies
domestic premises. Radio frequency interference is expected if the drive is used on such a network
Definitions
First environment
Environment that includes domestic premises, it also includes establishments directly
connected without intermediate transformers to a low-voltage power supply network which
supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Second environment
Environment that includes all establishments other than those directly connected to a low-
voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
Category C3 Power Drive System
Category 3 is for a PDS of rated voltage less than 1000 V, intended for use in the second
environment and not intended for use in the first environment.
