Introduction to Functional Safety
Omschrijving
Nearly anyone has seen it sometimes on Discovery Channel, episodes about causes and effect of disasters in petrochemical environments, Piper Alpha, Deepwater Horizon etc..
Technicians with affinity for the process industry know that, besides the DCS system, an independent safety system must be present. This safety system monitors the process under control and in case something runs "out-of-control" the safety system will shut down (part of) the process. In this session you will receive an introduction to Functional Safety: What is it? How does it work? How is it designed? How safe is it? What do the IEC61508 and IEC61511 standards say about Functional Safety and how should it be applied?
