Safety Design Software Available in More Languages

Engineers designing machinery safety systems can now more easily collaborate across multiple languages using the Safety Automation Builder software tool from Rockwell Automation.

The software saves time when designing safety systems by automating the safety-selection process. You import an image of the machinery you need to safeguard and answer questions using a drop-down menu and help screens to identify and select the necessary safeguards. The software then compiles all product selections, generates a bill of materials, and compiles necessary data to populate IFA’s SISTEMA (Safety Integrity Software Tool for Evaluation of Machine Applications). SISTEMA helps evaluate the system in accordance with ISO 13849-1:2008.

The software—which is available as a free download—requires that you download and run SISTEMA.

SISTEMA is available in a limited number of languages, so the Safety Automation Builder tool’s expanded language function lets you more easily generate SISTEMA reports outside of your local language. For example, an engineer who doesn’t speak any of the languages offered by SISTEMA can create a bill of materials in his or her local language using the Safety Automation Builder tool. He or she can then import the data into SISTEMA, and generate a final report without needing to translate the information.

The new languages include Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, and Swedish.

The software includes new safety functions, which are pre-engineered design documents containing detailed information for many safeguarding methods, including specific functionality, performance level data, and required input, logic and output components. These documents also include parts lists, electrical drawings, a SISTEMA project file, and verification and validation plans. After completing the Safety Automation Builder process, users can select the appropriate safety function needed for a particular machine and combine it with the bill of materials to design a complete safety system.
