Reliability, Safety KUHNKE Automation 3.6 Electromagnetic Compatibility 3.6.1 Definition Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of a device to function satisfacto- rily in its electromagnetic environment without itself causing any electromag- netic interference that would be intolerable to other devices in this environ- ment. Of all known phenomena of electromagnetic noise, only a certain range oc- curs at the location of a given device. These kinds of noise are specified in the applicable standards.
Refer to IEC 61131-4, User's Guideline, for general installation instructions to be complied with to ensure that hardware interface factors and the ensu- ing noise voltages are limited to tolerable levels. 3.6.2 Interference Emission DIN EN 6100-6-4 3.6.3 General Notes on Installation As component parts of machines, facilities and systems, electronic control systems must comply with valid rules and regulations, depending on their field of application. General requirements concerning the electrical equipment of machines and aiming at the safety of these machines are contained in Part 1 of European Standard EN 60204 (corresponds to VDE 0113).
