3.2 EC Conformance
Conformance with the EC Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, the EC EMC Directive
2004/108/EC and the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC is mandatory for the supply of
servo amplifiers within the European Community.
The servo amplifier meets the noise immunity requirements to the 2nd environmental
category (industrial environment). For noise emission the amplifier meets the requirement
to a product of the category C2 (motor cable � 10m).
This product can cause high-frequency interferences in non industrial
environments which can require measures for interference suppression.
With a motor cable length of 10m or longer, the servo amplifier meets the requirement to
the category C3.
The servo amplifiers have been tested by an authorized testing laboratory in a defined
configuration, using the system components that are described in this documentation.
Any divergence from the configuration and installation described in this documentation
means that you will be responsible for carrying out new measurements to ensure conformance
with regulatory requirements.
3.2.1 European Directives and Standards for the machine builder
Servo amplifiers are safety components that are intended to be incorporated into electrical
plant and machines for industrial use. When the servo amplifiers are built into machines
or plant, the amplifier must not be used until it has been established that the machine
or equipment fulfills the requirements of the
� EC Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
� EC EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)
� EC Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC)
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EC Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
EN 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
EN 12100 (Safety of Machines)
The manufacturer of the machine must generate a hazard analysis for the machine,
and must implement appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements
cannot cause injury or damage to any person or property.
The machine/plant manufacturer must check whether other standards or EC
Directives must be applied to the machine/plant.
Standards to be applied for conformance with the Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC):
EN 60204-1 (Safety and Electrical Equipment in Machines)
EN 60439-1 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies)
Standards to be applied for conformance with the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC):
EN 61000-6-1 / 2 (Interference Immunity in Residential & Industrial Areas)
EN 61000-6-3 / 4 (Interference Generation in Residential & Industrial Areas)
The manufacturer of the machine/plant is responsible for ensuring that it meets the limits
required by the EMC regulations. Advice on the correct installation for EMC can be found
in this documentation.
We only guarantee the conformance of the servo system with the standards cited in this
chapter if the components (motor, cables, chokes etc.) are those supplied by us.
