20.1 Requirements for Compliance with EMC Directives
The EMC Directives specifies emission and immunity criteria and requires the products to
meet both of them, i.e., not to emit excessive electromagnetic interference (emission): to
be immune to electromagnetic interference outside (immunity).Guidelines for complying
the machinery including MELSEC-QnA series PLC with the EMC Directives are provided
in Section 20.1.1 to Section 20.1.7 below.
The guidelines are created based on the requirements of the regulations and relevant
standards, however, they do not guarantee that the machinery constructed according to
them will comply with the Directives. Therefore, manufacturers must finally determine how
to make it comply and how it is compliant with the EMC Directives.
