3 Standards
3.1 European Directives and Standards
Servo amplifiers are components that are intended to be incorporated into electrical plant
and machines for industrial use. When the servoamplifiers are built into machines or
plant, the intended operation of the amplifier is forbidden until it has been established that
the machine or plant fulfills the requirements of the EC Machinery Directive 98/37/EG and
the EC Directive on EMC (89/336/EEC) and the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC.
To fulfill the EC Machinery directive 98/37/EG, the following standards have to be applied:
EN 60204-1
(Safety and electrical equipment of machines)
EN 12100 (Safety of machines)
The manufacturer of the machine must produce a hazard analysis for the machine
and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements do not result
in personal injury or material damage.
To fulfill the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, the following standards have to be applied:
EN 60204-1
(Safety and electrical equipment of machines)
EN 50178 (Equipment of high voltage plant with electronic devices)
EN 60439-1 (Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies)
To fulfill the EC EMC regulations 89/336/EEC, the following standards have to be applied:
EN 61000-6-1 or EN 61000-6-2 (noise immunity in the domestic range/industrial range)
EN 61000-6-3 or EN 61000-6-4 (noise emission in the domestic range/industrial range)
The manufacturer of the machine or plant is responsible for ensuring that they meet the
limits required by the EMC regulations. Advice on the correct installation for EMC – such
as shielding, grounding, arrangement of connectors and cable routing – can be found in
this documentation.
The machine / plant manufacturer must examine whether with its machine / plant
still further or other standards or EEC guidelines are to be used.
