CE ISO 9001

SISTEMA is a PC software developed by the German Berufsgenossenschaftlichen Institutes für Arbeitsschutz (BGIA) for calculating and evaluating the safety of a machine's safety-related control systems (SRP/CS) in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1.

On the basis of the control system architectures provided for in section 6 of the standard, the tool provides an automated calculation of the reliability values and the achieved performance level (PL). The user can consequently very quickly and easily verify whether or not the achieved performance level of the control component (PL) they have implemented corresponds with the required performance level (PLr) that the risk assessment determines necessary for this safety function.

The program also transparently administers and structures complex projects. It allows creation of internal component libraries for element systems, block systems and subsystems and their implementation in projects. An integrated wizard simplifies use of the software. SISTEMA supports German and English. The software is provided free to the user as as freeware, and can therefore be copied for free. Leuze electronic has supplemented the software with a database, which contains all of the safety-related parameters of selected Leuze electronic safety sensors and control system modules that SISTEMA requires. The SISTEMA version with integrated Leuze electronic database can be downloaded free.
