Riskcat61508
Riskcat61508 enables the rapid, intuitive navigation of the IEC61508 Edition 2 standard, including selection of appropriate measures for a specific project and calculation of the appropriate SILs.
Version 6 of Riskcat61508 includes, as an optional component, a module for comparing IEC 61508 Edition 2 (2010) against Edition 1 (1998 until 2000).
It also has an improved user interface, the option to compare different SILs and improvements in the definition of SILs.
Riskcat, with documentation and a complete version of the standard, is delivered on a USB stick.
Existing customers can get Riskcat 61508 as a paid upgrade.
Phaedrus Systems will be running a seminar on 6508 Version 2 in September.
