“Functional safety” indicates functional tweaks made to ensure a level of acceptable safety. Automotive systems, components, electronic circuit and software can achieve “functional safety” by adding safety mechanisms. Safety mechanisms include fail-stop and fail-operational (continued functionality) and...
Learn about automotive hardware functional safety, its importance in preventing design failures and controlling random faults as defined by ISO 26262 standards.
The first step of an automotive functional safety program is identifying and evaluating potential hazards through a Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA). Typically, it is OEMs’ responsibility to conduct HARAs on vehicle-level features to identify potential hazards and hazard scenarios and to d...
As an adaptation of the IEC 61508 standard, theISO 26262 standardspecifies recommendations to ensure functional safety throughout the product development cycle—at the system, hardware, and software levels. TheASIL classificationis a key component of theISO 26262 standardcompliance. Mo...
What is Functional Safety? Functional Safety, as defined by IEC standard 61508, is the safety that control systems provide to an overall process or plant. The concept of Functional Safety was developed in response to the growing need for improved confidence in safety systems. Major accidents aroun...
What is Functional Safety over EtherCAT? FSoE is a communication protocol that combines control and safety functions to ensure your data gets where it needs to go while protecting your systems. It simplifies safety applications by differentiating between regular data and safety-critical data. ...
Evidence created through each development layer needs to be traceable, justified and then documented as a safety case, which is then kept around for years after the design work has been completed. FS Data You can expect that the FSWG will provide us with a FS data exchange that is ...
Humans need a minimum number of their needs met in order to survive, contribute to a community, and achieve self-actualization, according toMaslow’s famous hierarchy. Social scientists now believe that psychological safety is one of these basic needs, a prerequisite for people to be at their ...
Environment, Health, and Safety are referred to as EHS. It enables companies to operate their businesses responsibly with the planet and employees in mind.
Mental well-being is regarded as a state of health where a person is able to address normal stresses in daily life. Recently,this state has been grasped as much attention as physical health. Obviously, there are several factors that affect people's mental well-being. Firstly, a strong contri...
