SIL3 System Software Kit: Functional Safety Platform Software Overview

The certified Functional Safety Platform Software provided with the SIL3 System Software Kit streamlines IEC 61508 compliance for industrial equipment based on dual-redundant MCUs/MPUs. By automatically performing CPU, ROM, and RAM diagnostics, as well as mutual monitoring between the MCUs/MPUs, it significantly reduces the development effort required for functional safety systems. In addition, its configurable round-robin scheduling capability enables flexible control of software execution order and execution time. The partitioning function prevents interference between software components, simplifying re-certification processes and reducing associated workloads. It also enables the safe coexistence of safety and non-safety applications on a single device. Furthermore, the kit includes comprehensive TÜV Rheinland certification documentation, a Safety Manual, a Development Handbook, and configuration tools, helping developers shorten development cycles and accelerate time-to-market.
