9.1 inTRoDUCTion: eC DIreCTIveS
The EC Directives are manufacturing prescriptions intended to guarantee a standard level of
quality, reliability and safety for all industrial goods produced and marketed across the Euro-
pean Union. The EC Directives are general documents that establish base specifications for
the certifications, which are subsequently converted into national laws by all member states.
A certification issued by a member state is valid automatically in all other member states.
Technical details are not included in the directives. They are determined by the relevant
European harmonized standards (EN).
After verification, affixing a CE mark certifies the conformity to the CE directives. Within the
EU there are no commercial barriers for a product with the CE mark. A conformity certificate,
however, is generally not required for most directives. Consequently, it is not always evident
which of the (so far) 21 EC directives is considered in the CE mark of a product and which
standards are considered in the conformity verification.
In the field of Brushless motor drives, the CE mark is referred exclusively to the Low Voltage
Directive. As for the EMCD directive, a drive is only a component and not a system, and the
conformity of the system to the EMCD remains the sole responsibility of the system designer
or user. In order to assist their Customers, Phase Motion Control have already proved and
certified the conformity of a CE-typical system to the EMC directive (see following chapter)
with the AxM digital platforms and the ULTRACT III brushless motors.
9.2 lVD DIreCTIve
The LVD directive deals with all electrical machines operating in usual environments be-
tween 50 and 1000 V AC, and between 75 and 1500 V DC. This directive does not apply to
applications in particular atmospheres and/or anti-explosion machines; also it does not refer
to lifting equipment.
The directive’s general purpose is to guarantee a uniform electrical safety level from the
point of view of user’s risk and of possible damage to objects; the directive dictates the
product to be supported from the point of view of safety and of application prescriptions.
9.3 PrODuCT sAFeTy
1. Transport, installation and use of the drives is reserved to qualified staff (IEC 364)
2. The opening of the drive’s enclosure or motors protections, or a defective installation,
can lead to personal or material damage
3. Drives and motors can have hot, rotating and live internal parts; this can be the case even
with power supply turned off.

oF APPliCATion
1. AxM II / AxP drives are intended for variable speed motion control application, inside the
entire machine control cabinets.
2. When integrating the drives into machines, they may only be commissioned (i.e. opera-
tion as directed) if the correspondence to the EC EMC directive 89/336/EWG is proved,
EN 60204 must be observed
3. The technical data on the units nameplates must be observed
