Siemens SIROTEC Planning Manual page 5

Preface
What does EMC mean
EMC is the abbreviation for electromagnetic compatibility. Electromagnetic
compatibility is defined as the characteristic of a piece of electrical equipment to
function satisfactory in a predetermined electromagnetic environment without
influencing this environment unduly.
Who is this manual for
·
Project managers creating NC and drive system configurations.
·
Installers routing the connection lines.
·
Service engineers involved in troubleshooting and fault elimination.
Machine manufacturers
The notes indicated in Chapters 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 are primarily directed
towards machine manufacturers, who can influence or change the functional
behaviour of the complete system by means of the described measures.
Subject matter of this manual
You receive the following information in this Guideline:
·
Why are EMC guidelines necessary?
·
Which interference sizes have an effect on the control from outside
(interference sink)?
·
How can EMC malfunctions be prevented?
·
Which practical application examples are available for a trouble-free system
structure?
·
What must be considered when handling electrostatically sensitive
assemblies?
·
How can a malfunction caused by a deficient EMC be eliminated?
Objectives
These guidelines are not, and do not aim to be, a textbook for EMC. The purpose
of these guidelines is to provide the practical person with instructions for securing
the EMC.
Compliance with these EMC guidelines are necessary to
a) achieve a minimum noise immunity of the accessories in such a way that they
function perfectly in a harsh industrial environment and
b) to not have an undue impact on the environment in terms of radio interference.
