This workshop is ideal for product
design, safety, or management personnel involved in the development of
electronic or programmable systems that may have safety implications. It is
also applicable to a company’s product engineering processes as they relate to
safety requirements and standards.
Prerequisites
for the course:
An
understanding of the following Functional Safety Concepts (in accordance with
IEC 61508)o Functional
safety management
§ In particular, the safety development
lifecycle (V-model)
§ Specific aspects and activities: safety
requirements specification, FMEDA, Markov, software criticality analysis,
traceability, verification and validation plans, safety case construction
o Fail-safe,
fail operational
o Random
failures, systematic failures
o Safety
Integrity Level
§ Determination
§ Requirements and verification
- Probability
of Failure per Hour (PFH), Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD)
- Hardware
fault tolerance
- Diagnostic
capabilities
- Common
cause failures
- Systematic
safety integrity
o Environmental
impacts (electromagnetic immunity, temperature, humidity, mechanical shock and
vibration)
General understanding of electrical motor driveso Application,
functionality
o Technology
The
learning outcomes for those attending the workshop include:
An
understanding of why safety functions are integrated in electrical motor drivesKnowledge
of how to implement safety functions in a motor driveAn
understanding of functional safety, from both a systems and component perspectiveAn
understanding of the need for functional safety management; differences from
IEC 61508Clear
grasp of typical safety functions (e.g., when a fail-safe state exists for
machinery, elevators/lifts, processes)An
overview of design requirements: where IEC 61800-5-2 is more explicit or
precise than IEC 61508Requirements
related to usage instructions; in particular, related to commissioning from
“non-safe” platformsWorkshops
may be attended at UL facilities. However, if your organization plans on
sending five or more individuals to a workshop, it may be cost effective to
have UL present the course as a private workshop at your facility. For more
