Appendix B –

CE Compliance

B-1

CE Compliance

This controller is a component intended for
implementation in machines or systems for the
industrial environment. It has been tested to meet
the Council Directive 89/336 Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) and all applicable standards.

Important: The conformity of the controller and
filter to any standard does not guarantee that the
entire installation will conform. Many other
factors can influence the total installation and
only direct measurements can verify total
conformity. It is therefore the responsibility of the
machine manufacturer, to ensure, that the
conformity is met.

A copy of the Declaration of Conformity (DOC) is
available from your local Rockwell Automation
sales office.

Essential Requirements for a Conforming
EMC Installation

1. An input line filter module (see “Accessories” in

Appendix A) must be installed to reduce
conducted emissions.

“LF type” Filters – These units have been
tested with a maximum motor cable length of
75 meters (250 feet) for controllers rated 200
– 240V AC, and 40 meters (130 feet) for
controllers rated 380 – 460V AC.

“RF type” Filters – These units have been
tested with a maximum motor cable length of
25 meters (80 feet) for all ratings.

2. The controller system must be mounted in a

shielded enclosure to reduce radiated emissions.

3. Grounding of equipment and cable shields must

be solid, with low impedance connections.

4. Motor and control cables entering the shielded

enclosure must have EMC-tested shielded cable
clamps, or grounded metal conduit.

5. All motor cables must use shielded cable, or be

in grounded metal conduit.

6. All control and signal wiring must use shielded

cable or be in grounded metal conduit.

7. The Common terminals (TB3-3 & 7) must have

a solid connection to PE (protective earth).
