EMC info sheet en

Many requirements must be satisfied in order to assure electromag-

netic compatibility. This info sheet is restricted to the principle rules
that must be observed at all cost.

Grounding and chassis ground connections

 It is essential that grounding and chassis ground connections be
performed exactly as specified in the wiring diagrams.
Leads not supplied by E+L must be equivalent to E+L leads, i.e.
also protected, so that all connections may be performed as spec- Toothed lock washer
ified in the wiring diagrams.
 It is essential that conductive connections permitting low and high
frequency equipotential bonding between the individual machine
parts and/or cable ducts be installed.
Paint may also isolate and thus prevent connections being
conductive.
 On screwed connections, set the toothed lock washer(s) so that a
conductive connection is formed between the indented teeth and

washer(s)

All E+L components (command parts, controller, switch inserts,

actuators and sensors) must be connected to the same chassis
ground as the entire machine.
 Link the ground connections on the housing of E+L components to
the machine frame via grounding leads (cross-section > 4 mm2).

 Establish a grounding contact for the actuators via the support

surfaces and screw components.
 Establish a good conductive connection to the machine chassis
for the sensors via the sensor mounting. If this is not possible,
connect the sensors via their own grounding connections (cross-
section > 4 mm2) to the machine chassis.

Cable paths  It is essential that signal lines (sensitive to disturbance) be run

separately to any potentially disruptive lines (e.g. mains or motor
cables.

Protection with cable clamps  Establish an all-round protection contact to the relevant cable
clamp.

(conductive)
and cable sheath.
The shield must provide a good conductive connection to the ma-
chine chassis via the cable clamp.
Paint may also insulate and thus prevent a connection being
conductive.
