Regulations and Standards

Conformance to EU Directives

The Industrial PC complies with EU Directives. To ensure that the machine or device in which the In-

dustrial PC is used complies with EU Directives, the following precautions must be observed:

• The Industrial PC must be installed within a control panel.

• The Industrial PC that complies with EU Directives also conforms to the Common Emission Stand-

ard. Radiated emission characteristics (10-m regulations) may vary depending on the configuration

of the control panel used, other devices connected to the control panel, wiring, and other conditions.

You must therefore confirm that the overall machine or equipment in which the Industrial PC is used

complies with EU Directives.

• This is a Class A product (for industrial environments). In a residential environment, it may cause

radio interference. If radio interference occurs, the user may be required to take appropriate meas-

ures.

Regulations and Standards

Applicable Directive

EMC Directive

OMRON devices that comply with EU Directives also conform to the related EMC standards so that

they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have been

checked for conformity to EMC standards.

Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:

• EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility): EN 61131-2

• EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): EN 61131-2 (Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)

Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by the customer, however, must be

checked by the customer. EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EU Di-

rectives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equipment or con-

trol panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer must, therefore, perform the final

check to confirm that devices and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.

NY-series Industrial PC Operating Systems and Software Utilities Manual (W616)

Regulations and Standards

Conformance to KC Certification

When you use this product in South Korea, observe the following precautions.

This product meets the electromagnetic compatibility requirements for business use. There is a risk of

radio interference when this product is used in home.

Conformance to UL and CSA Standards

Some Industrial PC Platform products comply with UL and CSA standards. If you use a product that

complies with UL or CSA standards and must apply those standards to your machinery or devices,

refer to this manual. This manual provides the application conditions for complying with the standards.

If the product is used in a manner not specified in the Instruction Sheet or in the product manuals then

the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
