Introduction to IEC 61800-5-2: Adjustable Speed Power Drive Systems, Part 5-2: Safety Requirements – Functional Safety
Description
This three-day workshop instructs participants how to navigate the relevant requirements and concepts in IEC 61800-5-2, and provides a kick-start for motor drive manufacturers who consider integration of functional safety in their products. Several key advantages include: reducing the complexity of safety related control systems, reducing the amount of components and wiring, and increasing maintainability and up time.
Workshop Topics
- Control Systems Engineering
- Microprocessors
- Systems Engineering
- Communications Systems Engineering
- Software Engineering
- Reliability Engineering
- SIL and PL calculations
Objectives
- Explain why safety functions are integrated in electrical motor drives, including a global perspective on regulations and laws.
- Discuss the principles of implementing safety functions in a motor drive – under what circumstances can a motor drive be considered to be fail-safe.
- Describe functional safety from a sub-system aspect
- Discuss the need for functional safety management for a subsystem; differences between IEC 61508 and IEC 61800-5-2
- Have a clear grasp of typical safety functions and their applications in machinery, elevators/lifts, processes
- Determine design requirements: where IEC 61800-5-2 refers to IEC 61508, where it differs (i.e. is more concise, more explicit) from IEC 61508
- Explain requirements related to usage instructions; in particular, related to commissioning from “non-safe” platforms
Target Audience
Product design, safety, or management personnel involved in the development of electronic or programmable systems that may have safety implications, and for a company’s product engineering processes as they relate to safety requirements and standard
