Functional Safety (SIL) – New manual available

The field of functional safety (SIL) is in a process of change. National standards are being removed in order to be replaced by new, international standards.

The new SIL manual from Pepperl+Fuchs describes some of those aspects of the recently published standards which are relevant especially for safety-related systems in the process industry. It also considers their effect on the specifications of sensors and interface components for signal transmission.

The manual contains two main subjects. The first part is designed to provide a general overview over vital aspects contained in the standards and is directed especially to persons who

• Are entrusted with definition and design of safety-related systems,
• Need devices to be used within a safety-related application or
• Simply want to inform themselves about IEC/EN 61508.

The second part especially addresses persons who are directly responsible for defining, designing, installing, operating and maintaining electronic or programmable safety-related systems.

You can make gratis application for the manual or download it as a PDF file at our website or ask your Pepperl+Fuchs representative for it.
