Bfernand - Functional Safety 1

The document discusses functional safety activities following standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 for process control and safety. It outlines the agenda for a workshop covering an introduction to standards and safety integrity levels (SIL), examples of safety instrumented systems (SIS), and SIS specification and development. The document also summarizes the IEC 61508 safety lifecycle of analysis, realization, and commissioning. It compares IEC 61508 and 61511, noting that 61511 is more specific to process industry users while 61508 is more generic.

Functional Safety Activities

(1)
ALBA – CERN workshop

Borja Fernández Adiego BE/ICS


Functional safety in ICS

• 2 different teams performing Functional Safety solutions:

• Process control & safety (Thursday afternoon module of the workshop)

Agenda
• Introduction: standards and SIL (just some tips)
• Examples of SISs
• SIS specification and development
• SIL compliance

• Personnel safety, access control (Friday morning module of the workshop)


Process control and safety

• Functional safety activities following the IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 standards (a bit of IEC 62061)

• IEC 61508: Functional Safety of Electrical / Electronic / Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems

• IEC 61511: specific for the process industry

• IEC 62061: specific for the machinery industry

• SIL (Safety Integrity Level) concept:


• Not only about hardware random failures (PFD or PFH)
• Hardware safety integrity (random failures & Architectural constrains)
• Systematic safety integrity
IEC 61508 safety lifecycle

1. Analysis
• Risk analysis
• Safety Instrumented Functions definitions

2. Realization
• Implementation of the Safety Instrumented System
• Steps to prove the SIL of one SIF

3. Commissioning, operation and management of the SISs


How can we reduce the risk?

• Reducing the severity of the consequence


Severity

• Reducing the likelihood of the consequence


Risk
• SIS, SIFs, SIL

Differences between IEC 61508 and IEC 61511
• http://www.exida.com/Blog/functional-safety-standards-iec-61508-vs.-i
ec-61511

• IEC 61508 is a generic standard and useful for various industry sectors

• But some parts of the realization phase are applicable to equipment


manufacturers

• IEC 61511 is user focused

• They both have same lifecycle and SIL concepts, but 61511 has a more
specific language and context
