IEC 61511 - Functional safety for the process industry (ST-WSFSP)

• In various process applications, more and more components and systems have to fulfil safety related tasks. Safe functioning of control and instrumentation is often essential for the safety of operating personnel and the environment.
• Therefore it is essential to know the international standards for safe functioning of measurement and control technology and how to apply these correctly and intelligently.
• The workshop offers an insight into the standards that relate to Functional safety and describes, by use of examples, the architectural possibilities for solutions to safety relevant tasks.
• All aspects which need to be considered for the design of a hardware and software system in order to meet the requirements for Functional safety to a given safety integrity level will be discussed in this workshop. Furthermore references to practical applications are shown and reviewed.
