EMC Laboratory

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an important topic in the industrial sector. The relevant standards must be observed as early as the circuit development stage. The design of the circuit board and the housing, for example, has an influence on the electrical performance of the electronic system in the event of a failure. MESCO develops EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) compliant products for you or advises you during your development and design phase.

Existing products are examined and, if necessary, suggestions for improvement are drawn up. The MESCO services of the EMC test center and EMC engineers consist of training, support and cooperation during development as well as the complete documentation, preparation and performance of all necessary measurements for CE marking. If required, MESCO development experts from the fields of explosion protection, functional safety or fieldbus communication can be called in. This makes it possible to implement the interference suppression measures found directly in CAD in order to avoid a completely new design.

The MESCO services in the EMC test center at a glance:

• Training courses and CE seminars
• Fast and competent advice, solid support in the elimination of EMC faults
• Conformity assessments and measurements during development in MESCO’s own EMC laboratory
• Design and implementation of interference suppression measures in the circuit and layout
• Detailed logging and documentation of the measurement results
• Test report from a certified test laboratory if required (CE marking)

Technology and standards

In the field of technology and standards, MESCO offers measurements, tests and documentation in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025, conducted interference measurements and immunity tests in accordance with national, European and international standards (DIN, VDE, EN, IEC, CISPR, NAMUR, etc.). etc.), standard-compliant tests e.g. according to EN 61000-4, standard-compliant measurements of conducted interference voltages according to EN 55011 and EN 55022 (150kHZ…30MHz) as well as preliminary tests according to EN 55011 and EN 55022 (HF field 30…1000MHz).

Laboratory, test stations and EMC test center: Tests under laboratory conditions

Our laboratory, our test stations and our own EMC test center enable thermal and humidity measurements for testing product developments under laboratory conditions. In the field of industrial Ethernet communication, MESCO offers extended test capacities for comprehensive testing of industrial Ethernet communication for PROFINET and EtherCAT. In our EMC test center, electromagnetic compatibility tests (EMC tests) ensure compliance with the standards so that the products can withstand electromagnetic interference and thus guarantee trouble-free operation. Test stations for PROFINET and EtherCAT communication, including the PROFISAFE and FSoE safety protocols, also enable pre-certification tests.
