Bfernand - Functional Safety 1
(1)
ALBA – CERN workshop
Agenda
• Introduction: standards and SIL (just some tips)
• Examples of SISs
• SIS specification and development
• SIL compliance
• 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
1. Analysis
• Risk analysis
• Safety Instrumented Functions definitions
2. Realization
• Implementation of the Safety Instrumented System
• Steps to prove the SIL of one SIF

Differences between IEC 61508 and IEC 61511

ec-61511
• IEC 61508 is a generic standard and useful for various industry sectors
• They both have same lifecycle and SIL concepts, but 61511 has a more
specific language and context
