Hello group,
I have a few questions but first I think they require some
background.
Our company is manaufacturing a daughter card for use in an
industrial control environment. Being that it is intended for use in
industrial control networks and will be operating in conjunction with
PLC's, we are applying EN61131-2 and FCC class A. The card will not
function on its own so the purchaser is responsible for building a
compatible host. I don't see a problem so far.
But, we also can provide a development kit that includes an evaluation
board that acts as a host to assist the purchaser in the design of their
product (most likely to take place in a lab or office environment). So
I see the evaluation board more fitting to EN60950 and FCC class B
limits. In this application the above mentioned daughter card is also
required, and now seems fitting to EN60950 and FCC class B limits.
Now the questions,
1: Can we apply the CE mark to the daughter card even though it does not
operate on its own and therefore is not an end product?
2: Can we apply EN61131-2 as well as EN60950 in order to satisfy both
applications (can we list both of these on the DOC), does this create
some sort of conflict? Do we have to apply both?
3: Can we use our eval board (intended for development purposes) as a
host for our testing of the daughter card to EN61131-2? At this point
no other host is available.
Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
