Safety-Related Controls

What is a Safety Related Control


System?
A control system in a machine should be
regarded as being safety-related if it contributes
to reducing any risk to an acceptable level or if it
is required to function correctly to maintain or
achieve safety.

Systematic failure

Failure related in a deterministic way to a certain


cause, which can only be eliminated by a
modification of the design or of the manufacturing
process, operational procedures, documentation or
other relevant factors
the safety requirements specification,
the design, manufacture, installation, operation of the
hardware, and
the design, implementation, etc., of the software.

Specifying requirements

EN ISO 13849-1
4.2.2 For each safety function the characteristics
and the required performance level shall be
specified

4.3 Determination of required performance level


(PLr)
For each selected safety function to be carried out by a
SRP/CS, a required performance level (PLr) shall be
determined and documented (see Annex A for guidance
on determining PLr).

F1 Seldom.
F2 Frequent to continuous ( Frequent to continuous
are not defined in the standard).

Possibility of avoiding the hazard.


P1 Possible.
P2 Less possible.
Based on the speed of approach of the hazard and the ability
of the operator to avoid the hazard. If the operator can avoid
the hazard then you would choose P1.

Performance Level

EN ISO 13849-1 Clause 4.7


Verification that achieved PL meets PLr
For each individual safety function the PL of the related
SRP/CS shall match the required performance level
(PLr) determined according to 4.3
The PL of the different SRP/CS which are part of a safety
function shall be greater than or equal to the required
performance level (PLr) of this safety function.

Slide 19

Factors to establish PL

The Performance Level achieved depends on:


The architectures of the SRP/CS
Categories

The reliability of components


Mean Time To Dangerous Failure (MTTFd)

The effectiveness of error detection


Diagnostic Coverage (DC)

Designated Architectures

Clause 6 describes designated architectures


as categories (B, 1 4). Categories state the
required behaviour of a SRP/CS in respect of its
resistance to faults etc.

Slide 21

Categories

SRP/CS shall be designed in accordance with relevant standards

SRP/CS shall use well tried components and principles. No protection against
faults.

SRP/CS shall use well tried principles and functions shall be checked at
suitable intervals. Testing rate better than 100 times demand rate. No
protection against faults.

SRP/CS shall be designed, so that: a single fault in any of these parts does
not lead to the loss of the safety function; and whenever reasonably
practicable the single fault is detected.

SRP/CS shall be designed, so that: a single fault in any of these parts does
not lead to a loss of the safety function; and the single fault is detected at or
before the next demand upon the safety function. If this is not possible, then
an accumulation of faults shall not lead to a loss of the safety function

Diagnostic Coverage
Diagnostic Coverage is the fractional decrease in the
probability of dangerous hardware failures, resulting from the
use of automatic diagnostic tests.
This is determined using the following equation
DC = lDD / lDtotal
l DD is the probability of detected dangerous failures
lDtotal is the probability of total dangerous failures.
