Electromagnetic compatibility
Definition
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of an electrical apparatus to function in a
satisfactory manner in its electromagnetic environment without affecting this environment.
An I/O device of the ET 200AL distributed I/O system fulfills the requirements of the EMC law
of the European Union. The requirement for this is that an I/O device of the ET 200AL
distributed I/O system meets the specifications and guidelines for electrical configuration.
