Aimed at anyone responsible for the
functional safety of
machinery – ie. mechanical
and electrical engineers,
machine builders and
systems integrators – Pilz
Automation Technology
has produced a 200-page
‘Safety Compendium’.

Compiled by a committee
of machinery safety experts
at Pilz that includes engineers, lawyers
and academics, it is intended as an
overview or technical guide for those
keen to learn more about the
application of functional safety
standards to machinery and all its
other associated aspects.

Available to download or
as a hard copy, the Safety
Compendium addresses a
number of topics including:
laws, directives and
standards (including the
new Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC); safeguards
and other protective
equipment; safety control technology;
safety-related communications; and
safe motion control.
