See the difference

Stewart Robinson, a safety systems
specialist at Pilz Automation
Technology, will be presenting a
paper entitled ‘Machinery Safety –
PL or SIL, what is the difference’ at
the forthcoming Safety Control
Systems Conference 2011: Practical
Impacts of IEC 61508 & New Safety
Technologies, which takes place on
24th-26th May 2011 at the
Renaissance Manchester Hotel.

The conference will focus on the
technology and application of safetyrelated
control and instrumentation
systems in the chemicals, energy,
mining and manufacturing
industries. In particular, it will
discuss the changes to the IEC 61508
standard and the implications this
will have on different industry
sectors.

Robinson’s presentation will
provide attendees with a toolkit on
how they can apply the main
requirements of PL or SIL safetyrelated
control standards in the
machinery sector.
