}
It does not adversely affect its own environment.
Electromagnetic interference can reach the devices through:
}
Fields
}
Power supplies
}
Earth cabling
}
Bus connections
}
Interfaces
}
Input and output cables
The interference can be transferred from the producer (source) to the receiver (interference
sink) via the coupling routes.
Interference reaches the interference sink (e.g. the control system devices) in various ways:
