Rockwell Automation has announced details of its functional safety seminars. With safety standards changing, these seminars will explain how, and clarify what the new EU Directive means and how to protect your personnel and machinery from everyday risk without adversely affecting productivity.
The company states that keeping abreast of changes in functional safety standards can be a challenge, and explains that the seminar is designed to get you up to speed on changes in relevant EU Directives and legislation, quickly and efficiently. During the space of just a few hours, delegates will find out what’s new and what’s coming and how they can be implemented.
Delegates will also learn, for example, why the concept of functional safety will change the behaviour of users and designers of automation systems, and why the publication of ISO 13849 has led to growing interest in performance levels & SILs (Safety Integrity Levels).
Other key topics covered will include: safety standards; how to use SISTEMA; understanding the structure of the safety related control components and designated architecture; and how to integrate safety PLCs into a functional safety system.
To compliment the seminar, there will be four functional safety workshops and a mini Connected Components exhibition designed to allow attendees to discuss and experience, first-hand, the latest technology and tools in key areas within functional safety. The workshops are as follows:
Workshop 1: SISTEMA software utility tool for ISO 13849-1
Workshop 2: Safe speed monitoring - improve productivity and simplify control system operation
Workshop 3: Presence sensing - optimal safety and greater productivity
Workshop 4: Integrated safety systems
The latest products in the Rockwell Automation range will be showcased during the Connected Components exhibition, which will also present the opportunity to discuss applications and issues with the company's commercial engineers.
