5. EMC DIRECTIVE, LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE

This chapter provides information on the A1FXCPU only. For the FX series products

such as extension modules/extension blocks, refer to the FX series manual.

The products sold in the European countries have been required by law to comply

with the EMC Directives and Low Voltage Directives of the EU Directives since 1996

and 1997, respectively.

The manufacturers must confirm by self-declaration that their products meet the

requirements of these directives, and put the CE mark on the products.

The EMC Directives specifies emission and immunity criteria and requires the

products to meet both of them, i.e., not to emit excessive electromagnetic

interference (emission): to be immune to electromagnetic interference outside

(immunity).

Guidelines for complying the machinery including MELSEC-A series PLC with the

EMC Directives are provided in Section 5.1.1 to 5.1.5 below.

The guidelines are created based on the requirements of the regulations and

relevant standards, however, they do not guarantee that the machinery constructed

according to them will not comply with the Directives.

Therefore, the manufacturer of the machinery must finally determine how to make it

comply with the EMC Directives: if it is actually compliant with the EMC Directives.
