Overview
Key facts
The Practical Machinery and Automation Safety for Industry workshop offered by IDC Technologies begins with an overview of machinery safety issues, introducing the concepts of hazard identification and risk reduction.
The workshop highlights the major international standards that are used to support compliance with EC regulations and uses these standards as a basis for the design procedures. This approach will assist you to follow best practices for safety system applications wherever your plant is situated.
The workshop looks at the risk assessment processes used to identify hazards and to quantify the risks inherent in a machine. This enables engineers to evaluate the need for risk reduction and hence define the safety functions to be provided by safety related electrical controls. The workshop then introduces the concepts of safety categories as defined by standard EN 954 and illustrates the principles of failsafe design, fault tolerance and self-testing.
The workshop continues with a study of Safety Control System techniques and introduces the principles of safety-certified PLCs focussing on practical useful information. Application examples such as guard door interlocking applications, twohand controls, muting, area protection of robot installations and motion detection are then discussed.
