3 Guidelines for electric design
As the biggest concern is how we can get our products to pass the test, this
document concentrates in this point
From MTB’s viewpoint, we can classify the tests listed in the previous section
as follows.
Group 1
1) Radiated emission
Group 2
3) Conducted emission
Group 3
2) Radiative susceptibility
4) Conductive susceptibility
5) Electrostatic discharge
6) Fast transient (burst)
7) Surge
8) Voltage variation
9) Voltage dip
10) Voltage interruption
11) Power frequency magnetic field
As to the test items in the group 3, as far as FANUC products are concerned,
it is OK to take the conventional countermeasure (unit grounding, shield
grounding and so forth) that has been described in ordinary connection
manuals. (To pass the tests, FANUC modified the products. The units
modified are listed in the annex 1.)
As to the conducted emission in the group 2, the countermeasure is just a
noise filter. If the recommended filter is used, a machine will get the test
passed. Though this is new item, it isn’t technically difficult except for space
needed.
Radiated emission in the group 1 is most difficult. FANUC modified products
(see annex 1) and MTBs need to take quite some new countermeasure on top
that. This document describes new countermeasure later and most of them
are for the radiated emission.
FANUC’s products are so called “electronic equipment” and they have some
oscillators as listed below.
(1) Switching of NC power supply unit
(2) Clock of NC logic circuit
(3) Switching of power supply module
(4) Switching of servo amplifier
These oscillators induce oscillating voltage in conductive materials (cables,
metals not grounded etc.) inside of a cabinet and those conductive materials
become antenna and emit electric wave. As mentioned earlier, FANUC
modified the products to have less noise emitted. However, MTBs also need to
take countermeasure. The countermeasure is fundamentally as follows.
