Training objective
The training provides a practical approach how to design Safety Control Systems according to ISO 13849-1, whose forth revision was published in April 2023.
It is ideal for manufacturers with simple safety loops using Interlocks, Safety Barriers (AOPD), Contactors and Variable Speed Drives.
The training gives a short introduction to Functional safety; it describes the five categories; goes through the validation process and it concludes with several examples.
TARGET GROUP: Mechanical and Electrical department of machinery manufacturers
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FS1, FS2 and FS3 COURSES:
- If the goal is a good knowledge of ISO 13849-1, we recommend the 8-hour FS1 course.
- If you are also interested in IEC 62061 and want to improve your knowledge on the differences between High and Low Demand systems, we recommend FS 2.
- However, if some participants already have a good knowledge of ISO 13849-1 and are interested in learning more not only about IEC 62061, but also about the Low Demand technical standards (like IEC 61511), understand how to read a certificate of a “SIL certified” pressure transmitter, how to handle “mixed” systems, i.e. with loops in both high and low demand and in general to obtain an excellent knowledge of the standards related to functional safety, we recommend the FS 3.
Moreover, the FS 2 program contains all the FS 1 subjects and FS 3 contains all the programs of both FS1 and FS 2.
