Learn to assess and reduce risk levels in electronic and electrical safety systems based on ISO 13849 / IEC 61508.
Functional Safety is part of the overall safety of a system or process and involves the definition of, and requirements for, safety functions to reach an acceptable level of risk. This course provides an overview of Functional Safety standards and how they should be interpreted and used, as well as examples of methods for assessing and reducing risk levels. This includes important concepts such as PL(Performance Level) and SIL (Safety Integrity Level).
The course is based on ISO 13849, but when required refers to IEC 61508, (Functional Safety for electrical, electronic or electronically programmable systems), and related standards in areas such as Robotics, Industrial equipment, AGV and Safety controls/products.
From the program
- The purpose of functional safety
