by a permissible loss of performance. If the minimal performance<br />
level or permissible loss of performance is not specified<br />
by the manufacturer, both of these specifications can be derived<br />
from the description of the product, the relevant documentation<br />
and from what the operator expects from the equipment during<br />
its intended operation.<br />
Criterion B<br />
The equipment shall continue to operate as intended after<br />
the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is<br />
allowed below a minimum performance level as specified by<br />
the manufacturer, when the equipment is used as intended.<br />
In certain cases the minimal performance level can be replaced<br />
by an permissible loss of performance. During testing degradation<br />
of the performance level is permitted; however, changes<br />
to the specified operation mode or data loss are not permitted.<br />
If the minimal performance level or permissible loss of performance<br />
is not specified by the manufacturer, both of these specifications<br />
can be derived from the description of the product, the<br />
relevant documentation and from what the operator expects<br />
from the equipment during its intended operation.<br />
Measures<br />
• Install the products in a metal enclosure (control cabinet,<br />
metal housing).<br />
• Protect the voltage supplies with a surge protection device<br />
• Use only shielded cables for analogue data signals.<br />
• Apply ESD measures during installation, maintenance and<br />
operation.<br />
• Maintain min. 200 mm clearance between electronic modules<br />
and sources of interference (e.g. inverters) or power lines.<br />
• Ensure ambient temperature and relative humidity values do<br />
not exceed those specified.<br />
• Protect long cables with surge protection devices.<br />
For safety reasons, do not operate walkie-talkies and mobile<br />
telephones within a radius of 2 m of the equipment.<br />
Criterion C<br />
Temporary loss of function is allowed, provided the loss of function<br />
is self-recoverable or can be restored by the operation of<br />
the controls.<br />
Criterion B is most frequently specified in the generic standards<br />
and is used by Weidmüller.<br />
Taking the example of a WAVEANALOG analogue coupler:<br />
During testing, the analogue coupler may convert values that lie<br />
outside the permissible tolerances. After testing, however, the<br />
values must lie within the given tolerances.<br />
General installation instructions<br />
In conformity with the performance level and criteria A and B,<br />
the products may and can be affected by external influences<br />
during a fault. However, the aim should be to suppress this as<br />
far as possible by means of an optimum installation.<br />
