The Open Secure Automation (OSA) platform is in full compliance to Military Standard 461 (MIL-STD-461F) and International Electrical Commission 61000 (IEC 61000) for electromagnetic pulse (EMP) resistance. Along with cyber security, EMP compliance was designed into the system at the outset. Engineers incorporated such design elements as a pinless backplane, which eliminates the possibility of pins as antennae to absorb and disperse energy. As a result, EMP protection is standard to all of the company’s control systems.
