Abstract
Designers of industrial machinery have for many years adopted the use of control systems based upon electrical and electronic technology to perform safety functions. Increasingly, control systems at machinery now incorporate programmable electronic devices together with electrical and/or electronic equipment to perform safety functions. A machinery safety function is carried out by a safety-related system that comprises a combination of electrical and non-electrical technologies. The contribution of the electrical aspects of a safety-related control system can be considered separately as its proper design, implementation and integration into an overall machine assembly can be critical to safety. However, if the use of safety-related electrical control systems is to be effectively exploited, it is essential that those responsible for making decisions have sufficient guidance on all aspects required for safety.
