Safety Lifecycle

Provides a roadmap for the implementation of Safety!


The Design of Safety Systems

3

The design phase of a safety system

includes three key steps:

1. Develop

2. Evaluate

3. Document

Safety Automation Builder is a FREE

software tool from Rockwell Automation®

that simplifies these three steps

Build a safer machine with Safety Automation Builder!

* Patent pending on the Safety Automation Builder software

Safety Automation Builder

4

Safety Automation Builder is based on the global standard ISO 13849-1

Use Safety Automation Builder to:

Layout machine hazards and access points

Define safety functions and select safety products

Export data to SISTEMA for evaluation*

Outputs of Safety Automation Builder include:

Bill of Material

Conceptual safety layout drawings

SISTEMA project file*

* Safety Automation Builder and SISTEMA tools must be used in conjunction with each other to provide this output


How it Works

5

Safety Automation Builder guides users through the safety system development process and helps to select the necessary safeguards.

STEP 1: Basic project info

Name

Description

Import machine layout image

STEP 2: Safety system layout

Graphically document:

Hazards

Physical guards

Access points

Safety zones

Control panels


How it Works

6

STEP 3: Hardware selection Define safety functions

Select safety devices for each function

Inputs Logic Outputs

STEP 4: Circuit evaluation Safety Automation Builder creates

SISTEMA project file of all safety

functions

SISTEMA evaluates Performance Level

(PL) of each circuit and creates a report

STEP 5: Bill of Materials ProposalWorks™ generates a BOM with

pricing info


Significant Time Savings

7

Compared to traditional safety system design methodologies,

Safety Automation Builder simplifies the process of:

Identifying required safety functions

Selecting safety input, output and logic devices

Calculating the achieved system performance level

per ISO 13849-1

Identifying and drawing potentially

hazardous access points

Drawing hard and movable guarding

Printing out machinery layout drawings


The Complete Safety System Design and Evaluation Tool

Complete Safety System Layout

Complete Bill of Materials
