Functional Safety of Machinery

This is a 5 day training with limited participation to 12 persons.

The new standards regarding Functional Safety as well as the new European Machinery Directive demand that persons and organizations performing responsible (accountable) tasks during the life cycle phase of a machine have to acquire and prove their competencies in Machine Safety.

Within this training the requirements for the design as well as the proof of Functional Safety for Machinery applilcations are described and discussed in detail based on the relevant current standards. The selection of protective devices for Machinery in order to achieve the required risk reduction is shown. Examples of safety functions are explained. The main requirements of ISO 13849 and IEC 62061 for the design of safety related parts of machine control systems are presented and appliction examples illustrating the quantitative assessment of safety functions are discussed.

Target Group

Application engineers and system integrators with some experience in Functional Safety; also designers and safety specialists working in Machinery applications.
