Rockwell Automation releases free guide to functional safety for process applications
New publication from Rockwell Automation looks at the principles and standards relating to safety for process applications and how to implement effective solutions
To help customers with the application of IEC61511 (the process industry-specific implementation of IEC61508), Rockwell Automation has published the Process Safebook – a free guide to functional safety for process applications. The guide discusses how to manage safety in electrical, electronic and programmable electronic systems. It also provides guidance for engineers on how to integrate safety into a process system design.
“Understanding the do’s and don’ts of process safety isn’t always easy,” said Keith J. Kirkcaldy, author of the Process Safebook. “This new process-application-specific guide covers functional safety – from concept to decommissioning – and is illustrated with real-life examples that help engineers more quickly navigate and apply the standard.”
