App. 8 Compliance With The European Ec Directives - Mitsubishi Electric MELSERVO-J3 Series Instruction Manual

APPENDIX

App. 8 Compliance with the European EC directives

App. 8.1 What are EC directives?
The EC directives were issued to standardize the regulations of the EU countries and ensure smooth
distribution of safety-guaranteed products. In the EU countries, the machinery directive (effective in January,
1995), EMC directive (effective in January, 1996) and low voltage directive (effective in January, 1997) of the
EC directives require that products to be sold should meet their fundamental safety requirements and carry the
CE marks (CE marking). CE marking applies also to machines and equipment into which servos have been
installed.
(1) EMC directive
The EMC directive applies to the servo units alone. This servo is designed to comply with the EMC
directive. The EMC directive also applies the servo-incorporated machines and equipment. This requires
the EMC filters to be used with the servo-incorporated machines and equipment to comply with the EMC
directive. For specific EMC directive conforming methods, refer to the EMC Installation Guidelines
(IB(NA)67310).
(2) Low voltage directive
The low voltage directive applies also to servo units alone. This servo is designed to comply with the low
voltage directive.
(3) Machinery directive
The servo amplifiers comply with the safety components laid down in the machinery directive.
Do not allow using the machine until the machine in which the servo amplifier is mounted is declared to
comply with the machinery directive.
App. 8.2 For compliance
Be sure to perform an appearance inspection of every unit before installation. In addition, have a final
performance inspection on the entire machine/system, and keep the inspection record.
(1) Servo amplifiers and servo motors used
Use the servo amplifiers and servo motors which are standard product.
