The training presents a practical approach<\/b> to the design of control systems that perform safety functions according to ISO 13849-1<\/b>, the fourth edition of which was published in April 2023.<\/p>\n

The program is intended for machinery manufacturers<\/b> using relatively simple safety circuits, interlocks, safety barriers (AOPD<\/b> – Active Opto-electronic Protective Devices), contactors, and Variable Speed Drives (VSD)<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The training begins with a brief introduction to the concept of Reliability<\/b> and Performance Level<\/b>, describes the five categories<\/b> of ISO 13849-1, the Validation<\/b> process, and concludes with several practical examples<\/b> carried out together with the participants.<\/p>\n

TARGET AUDIENCE:<\/b> Electrical and mechanical technicians who work for a Machinery manufacturer.<\/p>\n

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FS 1, FS 2, AND FS 3 COURSES:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    The FS 1<\/b> course is for those who want to gain a good knowledge of ISO 13849-1<\/b>, which allows them to calculate the Performance Levels<\/b> of a safety function.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The FS 2<\/b> course is for those who are also interested in IEC 62061<\/b> (calculation of Safety Integrated Level \u2013 SIL<\/b>) and want to explore the differences between High and Low Demand systems.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Finally, the FS 3<\/b> course is suitable for those who already have a good knowledge of ISO 13849-1 and are interested in exploring the following aspects: IEC 62061<\/b>, the standard on Low Demand<\/b> (IEC 61508 and IEC 61511), how to interpret a certificate for a “SIL-certified” pressure transmitter<\/b>, how to manage “mixed” systems<\/b> (i.e., with loops in both High and Low demand), and generally gain excellent knowledge of the standards related to Functional Safety<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The FS 1, FS 2, and FS 3 programs are cascaded<\/b>: FS 2<\/b> includes the entire FS 1 course program, while the FS 3<\/b> course includes the entire programs of both FS 1 and FS 2<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    DURATION:<\/b> 8 hours, in person or remotely.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n \n \n
