8.1 OVERVIEW
The β series servo amplifiers are designed to the following European
safety standard.
DIN VDE 0160 : 1988/A1 : 1989
(Electronics devices to be used in power equipment and their
installation in it)
This chapter supplements conditions for installation of the β series
servo amplifiers, focusing on safety standard-related topics. If you
want to acquire a CE mark for your power magnetics cabinet based on
the EC machine commands (based on 89/392/EEC), be sure to satisfy
this requirement in designing the power magnetics cabinet.
Remark
To acquire a CE mark for equipment, it is necessary
to make the equipment comply with the related EN
standard, EN60204-1 (general requirements for
electric equipment for industrial machines).
If there is an EN standard (or IEC standard if there is no EN standard)
that applies to machine components, the components used in your
machine must conform to the standard.
Because there is no EN standard (IEC standard) for amplifiers at
present, FANUC is using amplifiers that comply with the VDE
standard according to the result of investigation made by TÜV
Rheinland, which is a qualified certifying agency.
Therefore, the β series servo amplifiers satisfy the requirements to
acquire a CE mark. So you can use them without anxiety.
