Abstract
The safety of an automated machine is depending on the
control system, because systems are getting faster and
more complex. More and more often the operator or driver
is not able to control the system quick or well enough to
guarantee alone the safety, but he needs the help of the
control system. However, deficiencies or failures in the
control system of a machine may lead to a dangerous loss
of safety functions. Safety standards give a good basis
to reach adequate safety level. However, it is often hard
to adopt safety requirements and guidelines purely from
standard text. Suitable, generic examples help to adopt
the safety principles and they can be applied to
designers own solutions. This text introduces an example
library concerning safety related machine control
systems. The examples are classified according to
standard EN 954-1. PowerPoint animations based on
examples were also created. Animation helps in
understanding safety principles, but the reader needs to
know circuit diagrams
