EMC Directives
OMRON devices are designed so that they comply with the related EMC
Directives so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the over-
all machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC
Directives (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the stan-
dards in the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the
customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Direc-
tives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of
the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed.
The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices
and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
Note Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61000-6-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61000-6-4
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 V AC and 75
to 1,500 V DC meet the required safety standards for EN 61131-2.
6-3 Conformance to EC Directives
The CompoNet Master Units comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the
machine or device in which a CompoNet Master Unit is used complies with
EC Directives, the CompoNet Master Unit must be installed as follows:
1,2,3... 1. The CompoNet Master Unit must be installed within a control panel.
2. You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power
supplies used for the communications power supply and I/O power sup-
plies.
3. CompoNet Master Units complying with EC Directives also comply with the
Common Emission Standard (EN 61000-6-4). Radiated emission charac-
teristics (10-m regulations) may vary depending on the configuration of the
control panel used, other devices connected to the control panel, wiring,
and other conditions. You must therefore confirm that the overall machine
or equipment complies with EC Directives.
