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.
