6.4 EMC installation guideline
6.4.1 Outlines
The EMC directive is coerced from January 1, 1996, and it is necessary to attach the CE mark which shows
that the product is in conformity to directive.
Since the industrial robot is the component of the automation system, it considers that the EMC directive is
not the target product of the direct. However, because it is one of the main components, introduces the
method and components of the measures for conforming the automation system to the EMC directive.
And also we are carrying out the qualification test about the conformity of the EMC directive under the envi-
ronment based on the contents of this document. However, the noise level is changed by the kind of equip-
ment to be used, the layout, the construction of the controlling board, the course of wiring, etc. Therefore,
please confirm by the customer eventually.
6.4.2 EMC directive
The Mitsubishi Electric industrial robot follows the European EMC directive. This technical standard regu-
lates the following two items.
(1) Emission (EMI: Electromagnetic Interference).......The capacity not to generate the disturbance noise
(2) Immunity (EMS: Electromagnetic Susceptibility) ...The capacity which does not malfunction for the
Each contents are shown below.
Item
Emission
Radiative noise disturbance
(EMI)
Electrical-conduction noise disturbance
Immunity

test
Immunity to conducted distrurbances
induced radio-frequency fields
Power frequency magnetic field immu-
nity test
Voltage dips, short interruptions and volt-
age variations immunity test
Surge immunity test
6.4.3 EMC measures
There are mainly following items in the EMC measures.
(1) Store into the sealed metal board.
(2) Grounding all the conductor that have floated electrically (makes the impedance low).
(3) Wiring so that the power source wire and signal wire are separated.
(4) Use the shield cable for the cable which wired outside of the metal board.
(5) Install the noise filter.
To suppress the noise emitted out of the board, be careful of the following item.
(6) Ensure grounding of the equipment.
(7) Use the shield cable.
(8) Separate the metal board electrically. Narrows the distance/hole.
The strength of electromagnetic noise emitted to environment is changed a lot by the shielding effi-
ciency of cable and the distance of metal board, so it should be careful.
