TM5 Environmental Characteristics

Introduction

The following information describes the system-wide environmental requirements and character­istics for the TM5 Safety-Related System.

Enclosure Requirements

TM5 components are designed as Zone B, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. If they are used in environments other than those described in the standard, or in environments that do not meet the specifications in this manual, your ability to meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements in the presence of conducted and/or radiated interference may be reduced.

All TM5 components meet European Community (CE) requirements for open equipment as defined by EN61131-2. You must install them in an enclosure designed for the specific environmental conditions and to minimize the possibility of unintended contact with hazardous voltages. Your enclosure should be constructed of metal to improve the electromagnetic immunity of your TM5 System. Your enclosure should have a keyed locking mechanism to minimize unauthorized access.

(1)   Strict adherence to environmental conditions described in IEC 61000-4-2 is necessary for parts handled by persons other than operating personnel with specific ESD (electrostatic discharge) control operations. However, this is not valid for equipment with limited access by properly trained personal only.

(2)   The increased values must be implemented in frequency areas generally used for digital radio transmission, excluding areas where reliable measures are taken to reduce the electromagnetic influence of such equipment. ISM frequencies must be individually observed.

(3)   For magnetically sensitive equipment only.

(4)   An increased value is not used on phenomena where it is not considered necessary for the functional safety.

(5)   External protection devices are allowed in order to achieve immunity.

(6)   DC connections between system/equipment parts that are not connected with a DC distributing network are handled as I/O signal/control connections.

(7)   Only in the case of long lines.
