Join us for our next webinar: "Basic OSHA Requirements for a Control Reliable Safety Circuit". Unlock the secrets of #safety control circuits with our expert guide to wiring designs that ensure compliance with OSHA standards and meet essential Performance Levels (PL) and Safety Integrity Levels (SIL). Control reliability is a benchmark for the design of #SafetyControl circuits. Properly designed control circuits ensure the safety of the system overall. There are several Categories of circuits for safety systems. OSHA refers to control reliable circuits for #SafetyFunctions, while current ANSI and ISO standards refer to these safety #circuit classifications as Performance Levels (PL) and Safety Integrity Levels (SIL). Join us October 30th at 2:00PM EDT, as we discuss the basic wiring designs of a #SafetyCircuits, to help you fulfill #OSHA requirements and meet the conditions of a specific PL or SIL rating.

Last month, our colleagues in Brazil hosted a special event to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. They discussed the vital role of CVV (Centro de Valorização da Vida - Life Appreciation Center), which provides free and confidential support 24/7, and emphasized the importance of emotional well-being in our lives. Inspired by the yellow ribbon, a symbol of hope, we are committed to breaking the silence around #MentalHealth. Mental health affects us all – remember, open conversations are key to fostering well-being. 💛 Schmersal Brasil

Question: How can safety outputs fail within a #SafetyController? Answer, from Devin Murray, BSEE, MBA, FS Eng (TÜV Rheinland): 🔽 Safety outputs of a controller can be susceptible to damage when directly switching inductive loads such as a coil from a motor or relay. In short, as an inductive load is switched off it will attempt to maintain its magnetic flux thus creating a #voltage spike. This elevated voltage surge can cause damage as it flows through a sourcing PNP output or as an electric arc flows across a relay contact. Over time and/or with enough voltage these outputs would fail-to-a-safe state. Protection circuits such as utilizing a fly back diode is commonly used to prevent such damage

Registration deadline for our next TUV Certification course is TOMORROW, Friday, October 25th. Take the TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Training Program with us online, Monday, November 4th through Friday, November 15th.
