PILZ Inside Automation
Issue 2 2022 / Feb 25, 2022


In future, functional safety control systems are no longer supposed to simply shut down in the event of an error. But, from a standards perspective, what are the conditions under which an automation system with a safety-critical error can continue to be operated? We'll explain in our new white paper. More information about "fault tolerance in machinery safety" and other exciting issues around safe automation are included in this edition of the newsletter!
Fault tolerance in machinery safety – New white paper available!

Part two of the white paper on fault tolerance in machinery safety is available now and can be downloaded free of charge. It clearly describes how to implement fault-tolerant safety functions, which allow a plant or machine to continue operating in certain fault scenarios, without neglecting personal protection requirements.

Overrun measurement - Safety distance guaranteed

On machines with electrosensitive protective equipment, safety is guaranteed by the distance between the hazardous movement and the electrosensitive protective equipment. Where there is intervention/access to the danger zone, no more rundown movements may occur! The Pilz inspection guarantees that the safety distance meets the legal requirements.
