European directives and standards
Servo amplifiers are components that are intended to be incorporated into electrical plant and
machines forindustrial use. When the servoamplifiers are built into machines or plant, the intended
operation of the amplifier is forbidden until it has been established that the machine or plant fulfills
the requirements of the EC Machinery Directive 98/37/EG and the EC Directive on EMC
(89/336/EEC).
To fulfill the EC Machinery directive (98/37/EG), the following standards have to be applied: EN
60204-1 (Safety and electrical equipment of machines) EN 292 (Safety of machines)
The manufacturer of the machine must produce a hazard analysis for the machine and take
appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements do not result in personal injury
or material damage.
To fulfill the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, the following standards have to be applied:
EN 60204-1
(Safety and electrical equipment of machines)
EN 50178
(Equipment of high voltage plant with electronic devices)
EN 60439-1
(Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies)
To fulfill the EC EMC regulations (89/336/EEC), the following standards have to be applied:
EN 61000-6-1 or EN 61000-6-2 (noise immunity within the domestic range/industrial range)
EN 61000-6-3 or EN 61000-6-4 (noise emission within the domestic range/industrial range)
The manufacturer of the machine or plant is responsible for ensuring that they meet the limits
required by the EMC regulations. Advice on the correct installation for EMC – such as shielding,
grounding, arrangement ofconnectors and cable routing – can be found in this documentation.
The machine / plant manufacturer must examine whether with its machine / plant still further
or other standards or EEC guidelines are to be used.
ce- conformance
Conformity with the EC Directive on EMC 89/336/EEC and the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC is
mandatory for servoamplifiers supplied within the European Union. To fulfill the EMC directive, the
standard EN 61800-3 is applied.
In the reference to noise immunity and noise emission the servoamplifier fulfills the requirement to
the category second environment (industrial environment).
The servo amplifiers have been tested by an authorized testing laboratory in a defined configuration
with the system components which are described in this documentation. Any divergence from the
configuration and installation described in this documentation means that you will be responsible for
carrying out new measurements to ensure that the regulatory requirements are fulfilled.
To fulfill the Low Voltage Directive, the standard EN 50178 has to be applied.
