1.2 Electromagnetic compatibility
Definition
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of an electrical installation to function
satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without interfering with that environment.
The S7-300 modules also satisfy requirements of EMC legislation for the European domestic
market. Compliance of the S7-300 system with specifications and directives on electric
design is prerequisite.
Pulseshaped disturbance
The table below shows the EMC compatibility of S7 modules in areas subject to pulse-
shaped disturbance.
