4.1 Basic rules for the EMC-equitable assembly of installations
The term electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the ability of
an electrical device to operate properly in an electromagnetic environ-
ment without interference from the environment or without the device
causing illegal interference to the environment.
The Operation Panels are developed for applications in harsh indus-
trial environments and complies with EMC requirements to a large
degree. In spite of this you should implement an EMC strategy before
installing any components, which should include any possible source
of interference.
Electromagnetic interference can enter your system in many different
ways:
Interference is coupled into your system in different ways, depending
in the propagation medium (conducted or not conducted) and the dis-
tance to the interference source.
We differentiate between:
n
galvanic coupling
n
capacitate coupling
n
inductive coupling
n
radiated power coupling
EMC
