Functional Safety for Drives and Encoders. (Live-Online)

Übersicht

Drives and encoders are key safety-related components of modern machinery. In practice, a single product often has to comply with multiple standards, each with different requirements and assessment approaches across development, audits, and certification.

The seminar Functional Safety for Drives and Encoders provides a practical understanding of the relevant standards EN ISO 13849-1, EN 61508, EN 61800-5-2 and EN IEC 61800-5-3. Participants learn how to classify similarities and differences between these standards and derive a pragmatic approach for product development.

Using well-known safety functions such as Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Operating Stop (SOS), and Safely Limited Speed (SLS), the seminar helps participants make compliant decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and prepare effectively for product assessments, management audits, and certifications.

Nutzen
