Safety Precautions ATTENTION - DANGER TO LIFE Do not touch the main power supply fuses or any components internal to the power modules while the main power supply switch is ON. Note that when the main power switch is OFF, the incoming supply cable may be live.
Safety Precautions 2.2.2 Danger, Warning, or Caution Warning Symbol plus DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION When you see this safety label on a system, it gives a warning of a hazard or possibility of a hazard existing. This type of warning is given by the pictorial representation on the label plus text if used, and provides information intended to prevent potential injury and/ or equipment damage.
Safety Precautions Safety First G&L Motion Control equipment is designed and manufactured with consideration and care to generally accepted safety standards. However, the proper and safe performance of the equipment depends upon the use of sound and prudent operating, maintenance and servicing procedures by trained personnel under adequate supervision.
Safety Precautions Where access to the control system is permitted for manual operation, only those doors which provide that access should be unlocked. They should be locked immediately after the particular operation is com- pleted. Never remove warnings that are displayed on the equipment. Torn or worn labels should be replaced.
Safety Precautions • Make sure your tools and body are clear of the areas of equipment which may be live. • Extra safety measures should be taken in damp areas. • Be alert and avoid any outside distractions. • Make certain another qualified person is in attendance. Before applying power to any equipment, make certain that all per- sonnel are clear of associated equipment.

Installation, Operation, & Maintenance It is recommended that the same main disconnect switch be used for the MMC system and for all devices in the application. IMPORTANT No matter how the system is installed, before you con- nect the MMC to the application, make sure that power is off to the system and to the devices that are wired to the MMC.
Installation, Operation, & Maintenance • AC common line from the noise filter, if any. • The ground of the power source of the computer worksta- tion, if any, from which you monitor the system operation. An AC outlet in the control cabinet is recommended. •...
Installation, Operation, & Maintenance spots do not exceed specifications. For example, when heat- generating components such as transformers, drives or motor controls are installed, separate them from the system by doing one of the following: • Place them near the top of the control cabinet so their heat output rises away from the MMC.
Installation, Operation, & Maintenance the appendices are included with modules that have replaceable components. System Wiring Guidelines The MMC relies on electrical signals to report what is going on in the application and to send commands to it. In addition, signals are constantly being exchanged within the system.

CE and EMC Guidelines 11 CE and EMC Guidelines NOTE The CE mark on PiC products assures compliance with both the EMC and low voltage European directives. Prior to this CE mark, EMC on the product label only assured compliance with the EMC directives. 11.1 Background on EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Compliance In order to market products in the European Union after January 1, 1996, an...
CE and EMC Guidelines 11.3 RFI Emission and Immunity The EMC product characteristics are classified by the emission and immunity performance. Emissions not only include radiated noise from the product enclosure and cabling, but also that which is conducted away from the product along the cables connected to it.
CE and EMC Guidelines 11.4 Classes of EMC Operating Environments Before the correct level of EMC can be designed into equipment, the EMC operating environment must be defined. For example in industrial locations where high power equipment is in use, high levels of background electrical noise would be expected when compared to a household or office environment.
CE and EMC Guidelines 11.5 Conformance with the EMC Directive G&L Motion Control will be complying to the Directive by self-certification to the following generic EMC standards: EN50081-2 for industrial emissions using EN55011 (based upon CISPR 11A) EN50082-2 for industrial immunity using: IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD- 4KV contact mode, 8 KV air discharge) IEC 61000-4-3 (Radiated susceptibility) IEC 61000-4-4 (Electrical fast transient)
CE and EMC Guidelines 11.7.1 Changes Affecting the User Many of the changes G&L Motion Control has implemented are transparent to the user. However, there are some changes affecting user installation. G&L Motion Control continues to recommend separation of low level signals (encoder, analog, communications, fast DC inputs) from high voltage or high current lines from any of the above.
Page 170
CE and EMC Guidelines There is now a provision for shield termination to the CPU modules for peer-to-peer communication. Shielded cable must be used to reduce emissions. Inside a control cabinet, the practice of connecting the shields of shielded cables at the modules should be continued. For an example of a shielded cable entering/leaving the cabinet see Figure 11-3 on page...
Page 171
CE and EMC Guidelines Under the stated conditions, there will be no disturbance of digital I/O, encoder, or stepper operation. For analog signals, there may be momentary disturbances but there will be self-recovery when the noise subsides. In order to meet the EU directive requirement for emissions and immunity, fiber optics must be used for I/O expansion.
CE and EMC Guidelines 11.8 Using CE/EMC and Non-CE/EMC Modules IMPORTANT Failure to follow these guidelines may result in undesired system performance. NOTE CE indicates compliance to both the EMC and low voltage directives. EMC indicates compliance to the EMC directive. There are several issues that must be considered when using CE/EMC compliant and Non-CE/EMC compliant Modules.
Page 173
CE and EMC Guidelines If your rack contains one or more Non-CE/EMC modules that perform D/A • conversion or provide an Encoder interface, you must use a non-CE/EMC CSM, RSM, or CSM/CPU (PiC90). If your rack does not contain one or more Non-CE/EMC modules that per- •...
