FSE 120 – Functional Safety Engineering for Complex Machines

Course Information

Description

With the limitations in the IEC 62061 and ISO 13849 machine safety standards, there is a need to combine elements of those standards along with the overall IEC 61508 standard to best manage functional safety for complex machines such as in mining and materials handling applications. Machine functional safety is particularly relevant to professionals who are responsible for validating the safety of machines that use complex systems such as PLCs for safety critical control. These standards are continually being developed, placing unfamiliar requirements on the task of assuring machine safety, especially when more complex equipment such as PLCs are used. This course will walk participants through the various versions of the safety lifecycle, with a focus on developing a workable version for their application and the associated guidance and skills to best manage risk. Participants will also learn about how to identify and estimate risk, practicably reduce it with SIL rated safety functions, and much more.

Course Schedule

 The FSP Exam (Complex Machine Safety Specialty):

The exida Functional Safety Practitioner (FSP) program is a certificate program that provides confirmation that an attendee shows competency by retaining the knowledge presented in this course. The FSP program also provides an analysis of where the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses lie, helping participants judge their competency level if interested in obtaining a certification like the CFSE or CFSP. The exam will be given at the conclusion of the training course. The candidate must achieve a minimum of 80% on the exam in order to receive their FSP certificate.
