Appendix 5 EMC Installation Guidelines
MITSUBISHI CNC
Appendix 5 - 2
Appendix 5.1 Introduction
EMC Instructions became mandatory as of January 1, 1996. The subject products must have a CE mark attached indicating
that the product complies with the Instructions.
As the NC unit is a component designed to control machine tools, it is believed to be out of the direct EMC Instruction subject.
However, we would like to introduce the following measure plans to backup EMC Instruction compliance of the machine tool
as the NC unit is a major component of the machine tools.
[1] Methods for installation in control/operation panel
[2] Methods of wiring cable outside of panel
[3] Introduction of countermeasure parts
Mitsubishi is carrying out tests to confirm the compliance to the EMC Standards under the environment described in this
manual. However, the level of the noise will differ according to the equipment type and layout, control panel structure and
wiring lead-in, etc. Thus, we ask that the final noise level be confirmed by the machine manufacturer.
For measures for CNC, refer to "EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES" of each NC Connection Manual.
Appendix 5.2 EMC Instructions
The EMC Instructions regulate mainly the following two withstand levels.
Emission ..... Capacity to prevent output of obstructive noise that adversely affects external sources.
Immunity ..... Capacity not to malfunction due to obstructive noise from external sources.
The details of each level are classified as Table 1. It is assumed that the Standards and test details required for a machine are
about the same as these.
