Appendix A: European Union Directives (CE)
Basic EMC Installation Guidelines
Enclosures
The simplest way to meet the safety requirements of the Machinery and Low Voltage
Directives is to house all control equipment in an industry standard lockable steel
enclosure. This normally has an added benefit because it will also help ensure that the EMC
characteristics are well within the requirements of the EMC Directive. Although the RF
emissions from the PLC equipment, when measured in the open air, are well below the EMC
Directive limits, certain configurations can increase emission levels. Holes in the enclosure,
for the passage of cables or to mount operator interfaces, will often increase emissions.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
We specify in all declarations of conformity that our products are installed inside an industrial
enclosure using metallic conduit for external wire runs; therefore, we test the products in a
typical enclosure. However, we would like to point out that although our products operate
normally in the presence of ESD, this is only the case when mounted within an enclosed
industrial control cabinet. When the cabinet is open during installation or maintenance, the
equipment and or programs may be at risk of damage from ESD carried by personnel.
We therefore recommend that all personnel take necessary precautions to avoid the risk of
transferring static electricity to components inside the control cabinet. If necessary, clear
warnings and instructions should be provided on the cabinet exterior, such as recommending
the use of earth straps of similar devices, or the powering off of equipment inside the
enclosure.
