EMC Kits
Overview EMC kits reduce electromagnetic and radio interference by grounding, at close
proximity, the shielded cables entering your Advantys I/O modules. The cables are
stripped, exposing the braided shield, then clamped to an FE grounded bar mounted
in front of your island segment. Kit STB XSP 3000 comes with a 1 m grounding bar
that can be cut to needed length/s.
There are three reasons for using the EMC kits on your Advantys island:
To make Advantys analog I/O modules CE compliant
To reduce RFI/EMI to Advantys analog modules
To reduce RFI/EMI to any of your I/O modules
The illustration below is an example of an assembled Advantys STB island segment
using an EMC kit to make the analog I/Os CE compliant .
