After this seminar, participants
will understand the connection
between pneumatic and electric
components, be able to evaluate
the behaviour of pneumatic
drives and design safety circuits
up to control category 4. They
will work in accordance with
DIN EN ISO 13849-1 and other
standards required to fulfil the
EC Machinery Directive.
Content:
• Structure and function of
safety-related circuits to
DIN EN ISO 13849-1
• Identification of the safety
categories of circuits
• Selecting spare parts
• Power failure and restore
• Reliable pressurising and
exhausting
• Safe opening of brakes and
clamps
• Fundamental and proven
safety principles of
pneumatics per
DIN EN ISO 13849-2
• Selected safety measures of
safety-oriented pneumatics
(unexpected restart; blocking,
braking and reversing of
movements; switching off
power and free mobility;
reduced force and speed;
two-hand operation)
• Error analysis and exclusion
per DIN EN ISO 13849-2
• Effect of tube length, diameter
and fittings on the speed of
cylinders
• Information on operating
instructions and maintenance
Target group: mechanical,
electrical and control technology
engineers
Duration: 2 days
This course will enable
participants to specify the
components in a protection
circuit and calculate the
performance level of this circuit
using the SISTEMA software.
They will be able to understand
the qualitative aspect of DIN EN
ISO 13849-1.
• Risk assessment
to DIN EN ISO 13849-1
• Terms in EN ISO 13849-1:
Performance Level (PL),
probability of failure per hour
(PFH), mean time to failure
(MTTF), service life
characteristics of components
(B10), diagnostic coverage
(DC), common cause failures
(CCF)
• Safety functions and control
categories
• Determining the components
in the safety chain
• Structure of the software
SISTEMA
• Calculations based on many
examples
• Calculation with complex
structures (multiple guards,
multiple drives)
• Calculations with safety
components and error
exclusion
• Creation of own libraries
• Integration of own
documentation
• Many practical computer
exercises using the software
SISTEMA
Target group: mechanical,
electrical and control technology
