Cause
Capacitate or electric coupling occurs
between conductors with different
potential. The coupling is propor-
tionate to the temporal change of the
voltage.
Inductive or magnetic coupling occurs
between two current active line loops.
The magnetic flows associated with
the currents induct interference vol-
tages. The coupling is proportional to
the time related change of the current.
One talks of radiate power coupling,
when an electromagnetic wave meets
a line circuit. The hit of the wave
inducts currents and voltages.
In the most times it is enough to take care of some elementary rules to guarantee the
EMC. Please regard the following basic rules when installing your PLC.
n
Take care of a correct area-wide grounding of the inactive metal parts when installing
your components.
–
Install a central connection between the ground and the protected earth conductor
system.
–
Connect all inactive metal extensive and impedance-low.
–
Please try not to use aluminium parts. Aluminium is easily oxidizing and is there-
fore less suitable for grounding.
n
When cabling, take care of the correct line routing.
–
Organize your cabling in line groups (high voltage, current supply, signal and data
lines).
–
Always lay your high voltage lines and signal respectively data lines in separate
channels or bundles.
–
Route the signal and data lines as near as possible beside ground areas (e.g.
suspension bars, metal rails, tin cabinet).
