The world is now moving on to integrated safety which integrates safe and standard data on a common network. Even in a decentralized architecture, communication is possible over a single bus, thus harvesting the benefits of integrated safety.
In plants users have machines from different vendors communicating on different fieldbuses. These fieldbuses need different safety protocols. These safety standards are proprietary and not compatible with one another. openSAFETY is the only open source and fieldbus independent safety protocol.
A secure system is one where the features are relatively inaccessible to unauthorized users, therefore the system is protected.
A safe system needs to be secure, whereas, a secure system may not need to be safe depending on the application.

For project managers and engineers involved with hazardous processes, this workshop focuses on the management, planning and execution of automatic safety systems in accordance with IEC 61511, the newly released international standard for process industry safety controls.
IEC 61511 has been recognised by European safety authorities and by USA based process companies as representing the best practices available for the provision of automatic safety systems. The new standard captures many of the well established project and design techniques that have been described since 1996 in ANSI/ISA standard S84 whilst introducing many newer principles based on the master standard IEC 615108. The newly released standard IEC 61511 (published in 3 parts) combines the principles of IEC 61508 and S84 into a practical and easily understood code of practice specifically for end users in the process industries.
This workshop is structured into two major parts to ensure that both managers and engineering staff are trained in the fundamentals of safety system practices. The first part of the workshop, approx the first third, provides an overview of the critical issues involved in managing and implementing safety systems.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Automation/machinery design engineers
Control systems engineers
Chemical or energy process engineers
Instrument/electrical engineers and technicians

It is well known that transporting dry dusty materials can create explosive atmospheres. Four conditions have to exist in order for the explosive state to occur. First of all, there needs to be high concentration of dust, then there must be oxygen and there should also be an ignition source. If all of these appear in a confined space – an explosion will happen. The most common ignition sources have long been identified as over-heated bearings, misaligned belt, slipping belt and misaligned pulleys.
RITA SECURE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL: APPLICATION TO SCADAcsandit
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have their own constrains and specifications. These systems control many of our critical industrial infrastructures, yet they are hardly secured. The biggest problem in securing these systems is the lack of cryptography support especially that most SCADA systems work in real-time which is not compatible with most cryptography algorithms. Additionally, a SCADA network may include a huge amount of embedded devices with little computational powers which adds to the cost of any security improvement. In this paper we present a new approach that would secure SCADA communications by coding information without the need of the complex cryptography algorithms. The reconfigurable information transmitter agent (RITA) protocol that we present does not need the already installed devices to be modified nor replaced, it only needs to add costless electrical chips to these devices. This approach can also be used to secure any type of communication that respects the protocol's constraints.

EMPLOYEE TRUST BASED INDUSTRIAL DEVICE DEPLOYMENT AND INITIAL KEY ESTABLISHMENTIJNSA Journal
An efficient key management system is required to support cryptography. Most key management systems use either pre-installed shared keys or install initial security parameters using out-of-band channels. These methods create an additional burden for engineers who manage the devices in industrial plants. Hence, device deployment in industrial plants becomes a challenging task in order to achieve security. In this work, we present a device deployment framework that can support key management using the existing trust towards employees in a plant. This approach reduces the access to initial security parameters by employees; rather it helps to bind the trust of the employee with device commissioning. Thus, this approach presents a unique solution to the device deployment problem. Further, through a proof-of-concept implementation and security analysis using the AVISPA tool, we present that our framework is feasible to implement and satisfies our security objectives.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Impacts of integrated safety on machine and plant concepts

safety & security APPLICATION
Impact of integrated safety
The world is now moving on to integrated safety which integrates safe and standard data on a common network. Even in a decentralised architecture, communication is possible over a single bus, thus harvesting the benefits of integrated safety. ■ Ninad Deshpande
Sep/Oct 2011 | EMover the present system can be highlighted in a number of ways; a few have been described below.
Reduced wiring
■ The present systems have inputs and safety devices. Safety devices have to communicate data to the PLC, this requires wiring. In case of failure of the standard inputs and outputs safety will be adversely affected.
■ Integrated safety will give the benefit of transferring safe and standard data over the same communication network. This avoids unnecessary wiring.

PDF file from
www.efficientmanufacturing.in
Present safety systems consist of discrete components like PLC, inputs and outputs, safety relays, safety devices. All these components have to be connected to each other through wires. The safety devices have to transfer safe data to the PLC. The PLC in turn needs to control safe actuators and outputs. Both require intense wiring. Advanced applications also contain motion and in case of motion, speed monitors form a very important feature. Last but not the least, shutting down the entire system should be in a synchronised method. Thus, these can be treated as primitive methods of implementing safety in any machine.

Decreased response time
■ When using the safety relays some delays are induced in the network which can be up to tens of milliseconds. Safety relays will induce some latency in the network.
■ With integrated safety the response time is reduced to less than ten milliseconds. With reduction in the response time danger levels are
also reduced.
Elimination of setup errors
The most important factor in using safety instruments is to parameterise the equipment. In case of wrong parameterisation the system will not be safe. This is very well portrayed in an example in any system plant present in any corner of the world. In the scenario of the failure of a safety device, it needs to be replaced, rewired, and reconfigured. If rewiring and reconfiguration is done with errors, the system will run, but problems will only come to the surface on occurrence of an accident. In another scenario if the system configuration was erroneous at the beginning and this device is replaced, rewired, reconfigured exactly as present in the system thus leading to a replication of error, then this error will be observed in the occurrence of an accident. These sort of human errors are inevitable in case of such
safety systems.
Integrated safety contains the possibility of automatic parameterisation. This parameterisation is through EDS files thus maintaining consistency of
the configuration.
Intelligent safety features
We need large number of safety devices in order to implement complex features. Large number of safety devices lead to extensive wiring and configurations. Handling this can be a nightmare to all. Even after implementing these systems and complex features the problem occurs when we stop the machine. Resuming the process after an emergency stop needs re-initialising of the entire system and synchronisation. This can take an awfully long time and result in a major downtime and production loss. With these systems there are only two options - machine operating with maximum efficiency or stopped due to reasons like emergency, safety breached etc.
Integrated safety offers features like SOS (safe operating stop), SLS (safety limit speed). With SOS one gets benefits of machine stopping synchronously on safety breached or emergency and the process can be resumed with a single push of a button immediately. Thus, due to synchronisation being maintained on stopping, the downtime is reduced extensively. There are certain maintenance activities or safety breaches where the machine need not be stopped completely, this is achieved by SLS. The machine speed is reduced to a safe operating speed.
openSAFETY
openSAFETY is independent of the bus system and interoperable with all transport protocols thanks to the black channel principle. This means that any transport protocol can be used to transfer the safety-oriented data which is packed in a special frame format. When implementing openSAFETY in products one does not need to sign contracts or license for using it. With openSAFETY it is possible to utilize the maximum advantages and features of integrated safety. If component manufacturers develop devices complying with openSAFETY standards the major advantage is the one time development cost incurred. They have to invest only once and the device will function with all fieldbuses. The development and the testing time are also reduced as the openSAFETY standard stack is readily available and the best part is that it is certified and people are legally permitted to use these stacks. The certifications are easy with the TUV certified conformance tests already completed and the interoperability between fieldbuses is
also guaranteed.
The usage of openSAFETY is also of key importance to end users. Any plant might have machines from different manufacturers working on different fieldbuses. The example of a plant shows four machines which can be seen on working over Modbus, Powerlink, Sercos. With openSAFETY different machines will be able to exchange safe data over the same network without problems. Cost reduction, less downtime, higher productivity and easy maintenance are the benefits of openSAFETY.
A case in point
Nestle which is a major player in the food and beverage market has understood the importance of openSAFETY and has requested machine and component manufacturers to implement openSAFETY as a standard for safety in all the plants worldwide. Currently, a Nestlé engineering team in Switzerland is preparing the pilot implementation of a packaging line in cooperation with these automation suppliers in order to develop manufacturer- independent standards for the integration of different control systems. The team is focusing on the use of open communication technologies. “Nestlé uses automation and safety components from various manufacturers. An integrated standard for safety communication allows for a reliable transfer of safety data within the complete plant, irrespective of the manufacturer of its components. Additionally, the standard also facilitates engineering with regard to system design, commissioning, and maintenance and diagnosis of the safety systems.”
openSAFETY is also supported by users like ALSTOM, SIDEL. Thus, the usage of openSAFETY is not limited to any one industry. openSAFETY is even being considered as the next generation standard for safety in air and space
industry in Europe. ■
