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.
