Industrial Environments

Electromagnetic Compatibility in Industrial Environments

Industrial environments are production and automation areas with harsh operating conditions where electromagnetic interference levels are high. It is extremely critical that devices used in these environments demonstrate immunity against strong electromagnetic fields and do not emit interference to their surroundings. EMC testing is one of the most important steps in ensuring that devices operate safely and continuously under these challenging conditions.

What Are the Main Product Groups Covered by This Environment?

Industrial EMC tests cover many different product groups, from production lines to heavy machinery, from automation systems to power electronics. Since these products generally contain high-current, high-frequency or motor-controlled systems, they have significant potential to generate and receive interference.

📌 Some of the products covered include:

Automation and Control Systems:

  • PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers)
  • Industrial control panels
  • I/O modules
  • Remote access control units

Power Electronics Products:

  • Frequency converters
  • AC/DC drives
  • Power supplies
  • UPS systems
  • Industrial inverters

Industrial Information Technology Equipment:

  • Industrial computers (IPC)
  • Data acquisition systems (DAQ)
  • Industrial routers, switches and communication units
  • HMI (Human-Machine Interfaces)

Production and Machinery Equipment:

  • CNC machines
  • Industrial robots
  • Automatic packaging machines
  • Welding machines
  • Pump and compressor systems

Motor and Drive Systems:

  • Servo motors
  • Stepper motors
  • Motor drive control units

Industrial Lighting and HVAC:

  • High-power LED fixtures
  • Industrial fans and air conditioning systems
  • Air purification and filtration devices

Testing and Reporting Process

EMC tests for industrial devices are planned by considering the electromagnetic challenges that the product may be exposed to. While immunity tests measure the product’s resistance, emission tests determine the electromagnetic interference emitted by the product to the outside environment. All tests are carried out in accordance with international norms and detailed technical reports are provided to the manufacturer. These reports form the basis for CE marking and validity in international markets.
