Beckhoff Sistema Library

Ensuring machinery complies with international safety standards is a critical requirement for modern automation engineers. To simplify this process, the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA) developed SISTEMA. This widely accepted software tool helps engineers calculate the Performance Level (PL) of safety-related control systems according to ISO 13849-1.

In the domain of industrial automation, functional safety is paramount. For engineers utilizing Beckhoff’s TwinCAT automation suite, the serves as a critical bridge between hardware safety implementation and safety compliance validation. It provides a software interface that allows safety logic in TwinCAT to communicate directly with the SISTEMA calculation tool (Safety Integrity Software Tool), widely used for evaluating safety functions according to ISO 13849-1. beckhoff sistema library
