Abstract
The importance of software in machinery continues to grow
as hardware functions are replaced with software and the
number of safety functions increases. This has crucial
consequences for machine safety. Software failure in
safety-critical areas, such as driveby-wire systems,
automated stability control and control of automated
guided vehicles (AGVs), can result in accidents,
fatalities and costly material losses.
