4 – 2
D101583 0207
BL ident
For whom are the EMC directives intended?
These EMC directives are intended for:
„
Project engineers and planners who are planning the system 
with the RFID modules to be configured.
„
Installation personnel, service technicians and engineers, who 
use this description to correctly lay the connection cables or 
have to remedy the existing problems during a malfunction.
In this chapter you will learn more about the EMC guidelines, 
particularly:
„
Dispersion of electromagnetic interference
„
What does EMC mean?
„
Fundamentals for EMC protection
„
Installation in a switch cabinet
„
Avoiding sources of interference
„
Potential equalisation
„
Shielding the cable
Dispersion of electromagnetic interference
In a system or installation electromagnetic interference can only occur 
if the following components are mutually present:
„
Source of interference
„
Interference path
„
Susceptible equipment.
If one of these components is not present (for example the 
interference path), no interference will occur even if the source of 
interference sends high levels of interference (Fig. 1):
