European Machinery Functional Safety
The functional safety of control systems is one of the buzz subjects currently within machinery safety, with debates on the relative importance of circuit architecture, selection of components and the safety integrity of components and systems. The aim of this course is to give practical examples of how to apply functional safety standards correctly and how functional safety fits in the overall machinery safety landscape.
