APPENDIX
App. - 4
App. 3 Compliance with the CE marking
App. 3.1 What is CE marking?
The CE marking is mandatory and must be affixed to specific products placed on the European Union. When
a product conforms to the requirements, the CE marking must be affixed to the product. The CE marking
also applies to machines and equipment incorporating servos.
(1) EMC directive
The EMC directive applies to the servo motor alone. Therefore servo motor is designed to comply with
the EMC directive. The EMC directive also applies to machines and equipment incorporating servo
motors.
(2) Low voltage directive
The low voltage directive also applies to the servo motor alone. The servo motor is designed to comply
with the low voltage directive.
(3) Machinery directive
The servo motor as a single unit does not comply with the Machinery directive due to correspondence
with "Partly completed machinery" of 2006/42/EC article2 (g). However, machines and equipment
incorporating servo motors will be complied. Please check your machines and equipment as a whole if
they are complied.
App. 3.2 For compliance
Be sure to perform an appearance inspection of every unit before installation. In addition, have a final
performance inspection on the entire machine/system, and keep the inspection record.
(1) Wiring
Use wirings which complies with EN for the servo motor power. Complying EN products are available as
options. Refer to chapter 5 for details of the options.
(2) Performing EMC tests
When EMC tests are run on a machine and device into which the servo motor and servo motor have
been installed, it must conform to the electromagnetic compatibility (immunity/emission) standards after
it has satisfied the operating environment and electrical equipment specifications.
For EMC directive conforming methods about servo amplifiers and servo motors, refer to the EMC
Installation Guidelines (IB(NA)67310) and each Servo Amplifier Instruction Manual.
