Overview
SIST EN 61800-5-2:2017/oprA1:2026 is an amendment to the established standard for adjustable speed electrical power drive systems (PDS), specifically focusing on functional safety requirements. Developed under the auspices of CLC and based on IEC guidance, this amendment addresses updates to normative references, clarifies definitions, and provides enhanced safety and security measures for systems used in variable-speed drive environments.
Functional safety is critical in industries utilizing electrical power drive systems, who rely on robust measures to mitigate risks associated with failures or malfunctions. This amendment aligns requirements with advancements in technology and current international best practices, supporting safer and more reliable deployments.
Key Topics
Updates to Normative References: The amendment brings normative references up to date, including new or revised standards related to safety of machinery, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), and control systems.
Security Aspects and Functional Safety: A key revision is the clear exclusion of cyber security requirements directly from the functional safety framework, instead cross-referencing IEC TS 63074:2023 for guidance on addressing security risks related to functional safety.
Architectural and Design Constraints: Updates ensure consistency with the latest methodologies for safety integrity, including references from ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061, covering fault tolerance and reliability in safety-related controls.
Data Communication Requirements: An expanded approach to quantifying the Probability of Dangerous Failure per Hour (PFH) includes addressing data communication as a sub-function, ensuring all relevant communication paths impacting safety functions are considered in risk calculations.
AI and Self-evolving Control Logic: The document explicitly restricts the use of artificial intelligence or machine learning in safety sub-functions of PDS(SR), citing the absence of a proven framework for ensuring comprehensible safety integrity for such technology.
Immunity Requirements and Performance Criteria: Enhancements and clarifications on testing procedures and immunity requirements for electromagnetic disturbances are introduced, ensuring consistent performance under challenging electrical environments.
Applications
This amendment is valuable to:
- Manufacturers and Integrators of Adjustable Speed Drives: Ensuring that products and solutions meet the latest functional safety requirements.
- Safety Engineers and System Designers: Supporting risk assessment, design, and validation of safety-related control systems in machinery and automation.
- Industrial Facility Operators: Enhancing plant safety by improved clarity on data communication and electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
- Compliance and Certification Bodies: Providing updated methodologies for certifying adjustable speed drive systems according to latest European and IEC standards.
Systems impacted by this amendment span across factory automation, robotics, manufacturing lines, process industries, and any setting where adjustable speed electrical power drive systems are deployed and functional safety is a concern.
Related Standards
For comprehensive compliance and up-to-date safety management, consider the following related standards:
- IEC 60204-1:2021: Electrical equipment of machines - general requirements.
