Design SIL Achievement
A practical training course for engineers or designers who require more detailed training in the concepts and principles that underpin the IEC 61511 functional safety standard and its use for verifying the achieved Safety Integrity Level (SIL) of the proposed or existing Safety Instrumented Function (SIF).
2 days
£1,320 excl. VAT
Outline:
- SIL as part of functional safety
- Setting the target SIL
- Safety requirement specification
- Designing for SIL
- SIL verification calculations
- SIL device selection
Who is this for?
The course is aimed at engineers and designers involved in SIF device selection and for verifying the performance of new or existing safety instrumented functions. The course features a number of workshops to enable delegates to practice using the formulae on ever increasing complex examples.
What prior study is recommended?
Completion of an awareness course in the subject area, or equivalent practical experience, beneficial but not essential.
At the end of the course you should be able to:
- Understand the concepts underpinning SIL achievement requirements
- Identify what information is essential before starting the SIL calculation
- Apply correct formula PDFavg / PFH for serial or parallel instrument configurations
- Derive instrument failure rates from commonly available sources
- The benefits and disadvantages of manufacturers certificates
- What checking and approval is needed for different Safety Integrity Levels
- Verify the achieved SIL from a number of worked examples
