Functional safety
Functional Safety Background
Development towards machine autonomy sets growing requirements for functional safety. Also legislation such as the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC sets requirements which machine manufacturers must comply to with their products. New revisions of C-type standards have been published to align application-specific requirements with the Machinery Directive and state-of-the-art technology.
For these demands, Epec has developed products like SL84 Safety Control Unit and a software ecosystem to meet all the technical requirements as well as business objectives. Our objective is to provide machine manufacturers with a complete solution.
Application Development Approarch
Epec’s application development tool chain streamlines the making of safety application:
- Make all the needed configurations with Epec MultiTool (all safety-related items are highlighted with yellow), MultiTool then generates a code template
- Continue the programming with CODESYS using Epec’s pre-certified safety libraries and normal CODESYS libraries
- Once the application is completed, use Epec CANmoon to download the software in safety unit
To enhance developing safety-related software we have prepared an efficient toolchain to make the safety development process fluent:
- Epec provides all the needed HW and SW for functional safety.
- Software consists of pre-certified safety libraries and the tool chain for creating an application
