Model Based Failure Data
Recorded Webinars: IEC 61511 - Proof Test Planning, Data Collection, and Analysis
Equipment failures that would prevent an automatic safety function from performing a trip are called “dangerous failures.” These failures not detected by automatic diagnostics are only detected during a manual proof test. Making this manual testing very critical to the ongoing safety. This web seminar covers manual proof test planning and the important proof test quality metric called “proof test coverage.” The necessary procedures for recording the results of such testing are described. The methods used to analyze this data to confirm Prior Use justifications and failure data are described including the Predictive Analytic techniques used by exida.

Collecting Good Field Failure Data
Recorded Webinars: Accurate Failure Data – Field Calibrated FMEDA Results
While most agree that the FMEDA method provides very accurate diagnostic measurements, it is understood that overall results depend on a good component failure database that matches the application environment. A database calibrated and compared to well analyzed field failure data offers high accuracy, perhaps the best. The web seminar describes the FMEDA technique. This web seminar also then describes Predictive Analytics, a field failure analysis technique that utilizes known design information to verify quality of the data. The results from over ten billion unit operating hours of field failure studies are compared with FMEDA results. The resulting improvements to both the component database and the field failure data collection systems are covered.
Recorded Webinars: SIF Verification – Scaling the Three Barriers
This web seminar will describe the SIF verification process and three “barriers” that must be met to show that a specific design has met performance requirements for a given SIL. It will also describe the SIF Verification CFSE Endorsement requirements and is excellent preparation in part for this highly valued functional safety recognition.
Recorded Webinars: IEC 61508 (2010): What’s New and How Does it Affect Me
The IEC released their second edition of the umbrella standard for Functional Safety, IEC 61508 in 2010, which is applicable to programmable electronic safety related systems. This webinar will discuss:
• What has changed in the standard compared to first edition (2000)
• How it will impact the market for functional safety including suppliers, product developers, and end users
