Machinery safety - IEC 62061
Are you a machine designer, manufacturer or integrator of control systems and want to learn more about standard IEC 62061:2005? Take this course led by RISE researchers and experts in machine control.
Content
As a result of automation, demands for increased production and reduced physical effort for the operator, safety-related electrical control systems (called SRECS) for machines play an increasingly important role in achieving overall machine safety.
This course covers all elements of standard EC 62061:2005, from initial risk analysis to final validation and requirements for any modifications. The documentation structure of the standard is consistent with ISO 13849, but the level of detail differs. Furthermore, we go through the differences in application between the two standards to give the course participant a better knowledge and understanding.
Purpose
The aim of the course is to give the participant a deep technical knowledge of the standard IEC 62061:2005. This standard is machine sector specific within the framework of IEC 61508.
Target group
The course is primarily intended for machine designers, manufacturers and integrators of control systems, but also for other professionals involved in activities such as specification, design and validation of SRECS.
Programme
Programme
The course contains the following elements:
- Approaches and requirements of the standard to achieve the required performance
- Safety and reliability of a control system
- Differences in application between IEC 62061 and ISO 13849
- Complex and low complexity component
- SRECS and its meaning
- SIL levels and how they can be converted to Performance Levels
