2-5-5 Compliance with EC Directives
The following precautions must be abided by when installing CQM1-series PCs
to meet EC Directives.
1, 2, 3... 1. CQM1-series PCs are classified as open-structure devices and must be
installed inside a control panel.
2. Use reinforced insulation or double insulation on the DC power supply con-
nected to DC Power Supply Unit and DC I/O Units.
3. CQM1-series PCs that meet EC Directives meet the common emission
standard (EN50081-2) of the EMC Directives as individual products. When
assembled into machinery, however, the noise generated by switching relay
outputs can fail to meet the standard. When noise is excessive, surge killers
must be installed or other measures must be taken outside of the PC. The
measures required to meet the standard will vary with the load being driven,
wiring, the configuration of the machinery, etc.
The following examples show means of reducing noise. These means will
only reduce the amount of noise and will not eliminate noise. They are pro-
vided here as examples only.
Requirement
The following conditions can be used to determine if measures to reduce noise
are necessary. Refer to the EN50081-2 Standard for details.
• If the loads of the devices into which the PC is built are switched less than 5
times a minute, then no measures need to be taken.
• If the loads of the devices into which the PC is built are switched 5 times or
more a minute, then measures need to be taken.
