About the course

This course introduces the fundamental and basic principles of functional safety for machinery according to IEC 62061. This course is for managers and engineers who want to understand the important aspects of machine safety design and selection of safety products, systems and the design of applications. This course is a preparation course for the TUV FS Program.

You will be able to:

• Communicate with safety engineers and experts in the field that talk the specialized and technical safety language
• Apply the lifecycle concept to your organization
• Communicate the functional safety management principles too your peers and management
• Establish a safety plan and specification  
• Design safety instrumented systems
• Calculate the probability of dangerous failure per hour of the safety function
• Select the right safety equipment
• Read product certificates and third party approval reports

You will cover:

• What functional safety means
• The link between the different functional safety standards
• Why the design of safety systems needs special attention
• Management of functional safety for machinery
• Fundamental hardware design concepts
• Architectural constraints and hardware fault tolerance
• The different between diagnostic tests, periodic proof tests
• Reliability analysis and reliability data
• Application software design
• And more
