If your PLCs are connected near to VFDs, process, and control variables (PVs and CVs) may fluctuate due to harmonics introduced by VFDs, causing controller malfunction. To be on the safer side, we need harmonic filter directly connected to the incoming and outgoing power cables, and care must be taken when grounding VFDs, motors (connected to these VFDs) and other sensitive equipment (PLCs). You can get more information below.
Harmonics components of a spectrum which integral multiplies of a fundamental frequency. A harmonic series in a spectrum is the result of a periodic signal in the wave form.
