OVERVIEW
With the adoption of Singapore Standard SS 550:2020 on the Installation, Operation and Maintenance of Electric Passenger and Goods Lift since 1 July 2021, there are new safety components (in a lift system) that are to be type-examined in accordance with EN81-50 which is a European Standard on the examinations and tests of lift components. Among the newly included safety components is the safety circuits containing Programmable Electronic Systems in Safety Related Applications for Lifts (PESSRAL) which are required to be type-tested by a Certified Body. Additionally, with lifts and escalator becoming more connected to networks and integrated into building automated systems, they present potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited to gain unauthorised access to the network, disrupt operations or cause harm to passengers and maintenance personnel. Robust cybersecurity measures could help prevent cyberattacks and safeguard data from potential misuse or unauthorised access.
This course aims to equip professionals in the lift & escalator industry with knowledge in enhancing functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic systems used in the lift and escalator industry. The concepts in IEC 61508, titled “Functional Safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic safety-related systems” will be taught to give participants a good understanding on the principles, requirements, and guidelines for achieving functional safety in the lift and escalator systems. The second part of the course will cover cybersecurity standards and the best practices of maintaining cybersecurity in lifts and escalators. It also teaches participants on how to identify the risk of IoT in lift, escalator and safety components and the ways to mitigate the risks.
Besides lectures, case studies will also be included in the course to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making the learning experience more relevant and meaningful.
OBJECTIVES
The proposed course will explain the functional safety requirements of programmable electronic systems during the lifecycle of lift and escalator.
At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
· Understand Functional Safety practices in lift and escalator;
· Apply the appropriate guidelines and standards (including IEC61508) in functional safety;
· Explain the functional safety requirements of programmable electronic systems during the lifecycle of lift and escalator;
· Identify risks of I0T in lifts and escalator systems; and
· Relate the cybersecurity best practices in lifts and escalators
