15.2 Electromagnetic compatibility

15.2 Electromagnetic compatibility
Definition
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of an electrical installation to function
satisfactorily in its electromagnetic environment without interfering with that environment.
Among other things, the S7-1500 automation system also meets the requirements of the
EMC legislation for the European single market. The prerequisite for this is that the S7-1500
system complies with the requirements and guidelines relating to electrical equipment.
EMC in accordance with NE21
The S7-1500 automation system meets the EMC specifications of the NAMUR guideline
NE21.
Pulse-shaped disturbances
The following table shows the electromagnetic compatibility of the S7-1500 automation
system with regard to pulse-shaped disturbances.
