EC Directives
Japan
In Japan, type test requirements are provided in Article 44 of the
Industrial Safety and Health Law. These requirements apply to
complete systems and cannot be applied to a module by itself.
Accordingly, to use the module in Japan as a safety device for press
machine or shearing tool pursuant to Article 42 of the
above-mentioned law, it is necessary to apply for testing of the entire
system.
DeviceNet products conform to the EMC Directive and Low-voltage
Directive.
EMC Directive
Rockwell Automation devices that comply with EC directives also
conform to the related EMC standards so that they can more easily be
built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products
have been checked for conformity to EMC standards. Whether they
conform to the standards in the system used by the customer,
however, must be confirmed by the customer.
EMC-related performance of Rockwell Automation devices that
comply with EC directives vary depending on the configuration,
wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or control panel in
which the Rockwell Automation devices are installed. The customer
must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices and
the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
Compliance with EC Directives
DeviceNet products that comply with EC directives must be installed
as follows.
All Type IP20 DeviceNet units must be installed within control
panels.
Use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the dc power
supplies used for the communication power supply, internal-
circuit power supply, and the I/O power supplies.
