Evaluation of mechanical / mechatronic systems in the context of functional safety

Description

Chemical plants, power stations and other large-scale plants and systems sometimes represent a high hazard potential. In order to operate these plants safely, protection concepts are developed which are mainly realized by process control technology (PCT) protection devices.

In recent years, comprehensive functional safety standards (e.g. IEC 61508, ISO 13849, etc.) have been developed for logic devices, which are primarily implemented with electronic systems.

However, actuators often consist of mechanical, mechatronic, pneumatic or hydraulic components or combinations of these elements. In the past, many attempts have been made to transfer the methods and procedures of functional safety for electrical/electronic components to mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic components.
This tendency has often triggered a discussion in operator, manufacturer, testing institute and certification circles, which has not yet been completed.

This seminar is intended to provide answers to questions relating to the assessment of mechanical/mechatronic components with regard to functional safety. Participants will learn the necessary analytical "tools" and their practical application and will be able to practise these using practical examples.

Inhalte

  • Mechanical/mechatronic components and subsystems in safety circuits
  • Reliability and safety of mechanical/mechatronic components
  • Applicable standards and data collections
  • Analytical methods for determining safety-related parameters
  • Good engineering practice and state of the art in the design of mechanical/mechatronic components and subsystems for safety applications (overview)
  • Theoretical correlations are conveyed using numerous practical examples from the fields of plant and process engineering, machinery and automotive
