Electromagnetic Compatibility as the Foundation of Modern Electronics
When Electronic Systems Work Together Without Interference
Modern devices communicate with one another continuously. Motors are controlled electronically, household appliances are networked, and wireless connections transmit data continuously. For this interaction to function, electronic components must avoid interfering with one another.
This is precisely where electromagnetic compatibility, or EMC, comes into play. It ensures that electronic devices operate reliably themselves while not transmitting impermissible interference to other systems.
Early Testing Saves Time and Development Effort
Every electronic system generates electromagnetic fields. If these are not adequately taken into account, malfunctions may occur or legal requirements may not be met. Both a product’s emitted interference and its immunity to interference must therefore be verified. Only then can the corresponding declarations of conformity be issued.
At Diehl Controls, many of these tests are performed on early prototypes. This allows potential problems to be identified before the product enters series development. Necessary adjustments can be implemented at an early stage, shortening development times and avoiding additional costs.
The result is robust and reliable products that meet international requirements and are ready for customer use more quickly.
