Notes on EMC−compliant wiring
General notes
¯ The electromagnetic compatibility of the system depends on the type of installation
and care taken. Especially consider the following:
– Structure
– Shielding
– Earthing
¯ For installations differing from the one described, the evaluation of the conformity
with the EMC Directive requires a check of the system regarding the EMC limit
values. This for instance applies to:
– Use of unshielded cables
¯ The compliance with the EMC Directive is in the responsibility of the user.
– If you observe the following measures, you can assume that no EMC problems will
occur during operation and that compliance with the EMC Directive and the EMC
law is achieved.
– If devices which do not comply with the CE requirement concerning noise
immunity (EN 6100042) are operated close to the system, these devices may be
electromagnetically affected by the system.
Structure ¯ Provide electrical contact between the DIN rail and the earthed mounting plate:
– Mounting plates with electrically conductive surfaces (zinccoated or stainless steel)
allow permanent contact.
– Painted plates are not suitable for an EMCcompliant installation.
¯ If you use several mounting plates:
– Connect as much surface of the mounting plates as possible (e.g. with copper
strips).
¯ When laying the cables, pay attention to the separation of signal cables and mains
cables.
¯ Lay the cables as close as possible to the reference potential. Freely suspended cables
act like aerials.
Shielding ¯ Only use cables with braided shield if possible.
¯ The overlap rate of the shield should be higher than 80%.
¯ For data cables for serial connection, always use metal or metallised connectors.
Connect the shield of the data cable to the connector shell.
Earthing ¯ Earth all metallically conductive components using suitable cables connected to a
central earthing point (PE bar).
¯ Keep to the minimum crosssections defined in the safety instructions:
– For EMC not the cable crosssection is important, but the surface of the cable and
the contact with a crosssection as large as possible, i.e. large surface.
