4.2.1 European Directives and Standards for the machine builder
Drives are components that are intended to be incorporated into electrical plant and
machines for industrial use. When the drives are built into machines or plant, the drive must
not be used until it has been established that the machine or equipment fulfills the require-
ments of the
l EC Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
l EC EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)
l EC Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC)
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
l IEC 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
l ISO 12100 (Safety of Machines)
The manufacturer of the machine must generate a risk assessment for the
machine, and must implement appropriate measures to ensure that
unforeseen movements cannot cause injury or damage to any person or
property.
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC Low Voltage Directive(2006/95/EC)
l IEC 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
l IEC 60439-1 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies)
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)
l IEC 61000-6-1/2 (Interference Immunity in Residential & Industrial Areas)
l IEC 61000-6-3/4 (Interference Generation in Residential & Industrial Areas)
The manufacturer of the machine/plant is responsible for ensuring that it meets the limits
required by the EMC regulations. Advice on the correct installation for EMC (such as shield-
ing, grounding, treatment of connectors and cable layout) is shown in this manual.
The machine/plant manufacturer must check whether other standards or EC Directives must
be applied to the machine/plant.
Kollmorgen™ only guarantees the conformance of the servosystem with the standards cited
in this chapter if the components (motor, cables, chokes etc.) are those supplied by Koll-
morgen™.
