European Union Directives
The end user of the products must comply with any Directives that may cover
maintenance, disposal, etc. of equipment or various components. Although we
strive to provide the best assistance available, it is impossible for us to test all
possible configurations of our products with respect to any specific Directive.
Because of this, it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure that your machinery (as
a whole) complies with these Directives and to keep up with applicable Directives
and/or practices that are required for compliance.
As of January 1, 1999, the DL05, DL205, DL305, and DL405 PLC systems
manufactured by Koyo Electronics Industries or FACTS Engineering, when properly
installed and used, conform to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Low
Voltage Directive, and Machinery Directive requirements of the following standards.
S EMC Directive Standards Revelant to PLCs
EN50081–1 Generic emission standard for residential, commercial,
and light industry
EN50081–2 Generic emission standard for industrial environment.
EN50082–1 Generic immunity standard for residential, commercial,
and light industry
EN50082–2 Generic immunity standard for industrial environment.
S Low Voltage Directive Standards Applicable to PLCs
EN61010–1 Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control, and laboratory use.
S Product Specific Standard for PLCs
EN61131–2 Programmable controllers, equipment requirements and
tests. This standard replaces the above generic standards for immunity
and safety. However, the generic emissions standards must still be used
in conjunction with the following standards:
EN 61000-3-2 Harmonics
EN 61000-3-2 Fluctuations
Automationdirect.com is currently in the process of changing their
testing procedures from the generic standards to the product specific
standards.
The installation requirements to comply with the requirements of the Machinery
Directive, EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive are slightly more complex than
the normal installation requirements found in the United States. To help with this, we
have published a special manual which you can order:
S DA–EU–M – EU Installation Manual that covers special installation
requirements to meet the EU Directive requirements. Order this manual
to obtain the most up-to-date information.
