Functional Safety for the Process Industry Training
Functional safety for the process industry for Siemens PROCESS CONTROL solution SYSTEM partners
THIS IS ONE OF THREE MANDATORY TRAINING COURSES TO BECOME A SIEMENS FUNCTIONAL SAFETY PROFESSIONAL
As system integrator you are at the heart of the work that needs to be performed to achieve safety instrumented systems that meet not only your clients expectations but also the IEC 61511 standard.
This training course teaches you how IEC 61511 applies functional safety to safety instrumented functions and how IEC 61508 needs to be utilised to select SIL rated hardware. This training is one of three mandatory workshops for the Siemens Partner program. If you pass the associated exam, you earn an internationally recognised knowledge certificate.
Key Course Outcomes:
- What functional safety is and why it exists in the first place
- How functional safety applies to your job, your services, and your company
- What end users to do select SIFs and SILs
- How system integrators apply functional safety management
- The four documents you need to plan and start building safety functions.
- What the content of an SRS is and why it is the most important document
- How to select SIL rated devices that meet IEC 61508
- Important hardware concepts that apply to devices Type, Voting, HFT, SFF, diagnostics, etc.
- How to design architectures that meet the SIL requirements
- What PFD means and how to calculate PFD for a safety function.
- The different PFD modelling techniques.
- How to achieve application programs that are SIL compliant.
- The role of FAT, iFAT and SAT
- The content of the safety manual on SIS level
Module 1 - Introduction
A warm welcome to everybody. You will have the opportunity to introduce yourself, your company and why functional safety is important to you. Further more you will receive an overview of how you can become a Siemens Functional Safety Professional.
Module 2 - Functional safety in a nutshell
You need to understand what functional safety is before you can apply it effectively. That is exactly what we do in this module. We will address where functional safety comes from, how it is defined and which standards are important for system integrators.
Module 3 - Hazard and risk analysis
Before an system integrator needs to create a functionally safe safety instrumented function, somebody has to decide that a SIL rated SIF is needed in the first place. That is why industry applies hazard and risk analysis. In this module we will explain the work that is done by end users before system integrators start their work.
Module 4 - Functional safety management for system integrators
Once we have decide that we need a safety function, engineers get excited. They love designing and building stuff. But in the functional safety world you need to get your foundation right. You need to understand and apply functional safety management. In this module we explain who FSM affects system integrators.
Module 5 - Safety requirements specification (SRS)
Module 6 - Selecting hardware devices
Module 7 - Designing the hardware architecture
Module 8 - Probability calculation
The most famous functional safety requirement in the SIL world is the probability calculation. You can only do this once you decided which hardware you integrate into which architecture. In this module we explore its importance, what can be calculated and how to do it.
Module 9 - Application program
Module 10 - Validation testing
Module 11 - Safety manual and user documentation

The training was superb.
Prashant TAWDE
It gave detail insight about life cycle of a project where functional safety is involved. It is necessary to know how to handle such projects. However the training course was well prepared, it was easy to understand and well organised
