When reducing risks by means of guards, as well as when designing emergency stops, safety functions must be defined and reliability calculations must be made for those functions, whereby 2 standards can be applied:
– EN IEC 62061 (SIL)
– EN ISO 13849-1 (PL)
PA Solutions helps you through a management system, the “machine safety lifecycle” to define, design, calculate and implement these functions.
Afterwards, a validation plan is also defined to evaluate the design according to the safety specifications.
