Kenexis - Functional Safety Podcast

S1E50 12.3

To clarify, the standard separates application program design from its actual implementation.  It feels like a bit much… Join us for our 50th episode as this is discussed in more detail!

S1E49 12.2.6 to 12.2.9

The startup sequence of a Safety Instrumented System (SIS)represents a critical vulnerability phase, as it triggers initialization code that rarely executes during steady-state operation. Join us as this important topic is discussed in this episode.

S1E48 12.1 to 12.2.5

The first technical safety standard ISA84 didn’t talk about programming in it at all.  So, we decided when we added it, wewould wildly over complicate the situation…

S1E47 11.9.3 to 11.9.5

Do not incorporate human failure into your SIL verification calculations, it will actually lead you to do the wrongthing. In this episode, this important topic is covered by our industry expert as he discusses these sections and shares his vast knowledge and experience.

S1E46 11.9.1 and 11.9.2

When it comes to SIL verification calculations, we look at Clause 11.9. It’s appropriately titled 'Quantification of Random Failures'…putting the focus on 'random' right there in the name.
