General EMC Considerations The ACR9000 product is a Motion Control Component and as such will be built in to another machine that will in turn be required to comply with the relevant directives of the marketplace.
In certain circumstances, opening the cover may void the product warranty. The ACR9000 controller is a vented product. To prevent material spilling into the controller, mount it under an overhang or in a suitable enclosure. ACR9000 products are made available under “Restricted Distribution” for use in the “Second Environment”...
Controller’s inherent noise immunity, the following recommendations should be followed. • For EMC compliance, the ACR9000 controller must be installed within an earth-bonded metallic enclosure. The enclosure must provide at least 10 dB of shielding effectiveness for a Class A (industrial) installation.
Page 105
Again, the machine builder’s primary focus should be on ensuring operators are kept safe from all hazards. • Install a Mains filter. Installing with multiple ACR9000 controllers requires an EMC mains supply filter to meet EMC emission requirements. It is recommended that the controllers are mounted on a conductive panel which is shared with the EMC filters.
The design of the ACR9000 controller D-sub connectors provides a reliable earth bond when used with Parker EMC cabling. It requires no additional cable screen earth bond if the chassis of the ACR9000 is adequately bonded to the system earth.
Some installations may require that you take additional EMC measures. To further increase product immunity and reduce product emissions, you may add clip-on ferrite absorbers to all cables. Parker Hannifin recommends ferrites with at least 200 ohm impedance at 100 MHz,...
