Heavy Industrial Peripherals

1997-09-10 Thread Rick Busche
My company manufactures large main-frame computer devices for commercial
and military simulation environments. As such, our IGs (Image
Generators) are CE marked and tested to Heavy Industrial immunity and
emission levels. Attached to these IGs, are off-the-shelf peripheral
devices such as monitors, printers and terminals. These commercial
devices would not be expected to pass the 10V/m radiated immunity or
other portions of EN 50082-2, as they are typically defined as Light
Industrial. Magnetic immunity for the display devices would pose another
significant risk of non compliance. As a system integrator how can this
issue be resolved?


Can someone comment as to the availability of Heavy Industrial
peripheral devices. Do they exist?  Are there suggestions for commercial
peripheral devices which have successfully been used in these test
environments?

Thanks in advance

Rick,

Do you really need the Heavy Industrial rating?  If you look at the actual
environment, you may find it considerably more benign than the usual steel
mill, railway switchyard, etcetera.

If this is the case, I suggest you consider the less stringent Light
Industrial requirements.
