Chapter 11 Compliance with EMC Specifications 
  11.1 Requirements Complying with EMC Specifications 
 EMC Directions describe “Do not emit strong electromagnetic wave to the outside: Emission” and “Do not have an influence of 
electromagnetic wave from the outside: Immunity”, and the applicable products are requested to meet the directions. The chapter 
summarizes how to structure a system using XGT PLC to comply with the EMC directions. The description is the data summarized for 
the requirements and specifications of EMC regulation acquired by the company but it does not mean that every system 
manufactured according to the description meets the following specifications. The method and determination to comply with the EMC 
directions should be finally determined by the system manufacturer self.   
 
11.1.1 EMC specifications 
 
The EMC specifications affecting the PLC are as follows.

*1 : QP: Quasi Peak, Mean : average value 
*2 : PLC is a type of open device(installed on another device) and to be installed in a panel.  
For any applicable tests, the system is tested with the system installed in a panel.
