Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry - Safety-related parts of control systems - Part 2: Concept phase (ISO 25119-2:2010 modified)
This part of EN 16590 specifies the concept phase of the development of safety-related parts of control systems (SRP/CS) on tractors used in agriculture and forestry, and on self-propelled ride-on machines and mounted, semi-mounted and trailed machines used in agriculture. It can also be applied to municipal equipment (e.g. street sweeping machines). It specifies the characteristics and categories required of SRP/CS for carrying out their safety functions.
This part of EN 16590 is applicable to the safety-related parts of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic systems (E/E/PES), as these relate to mechatronic systems. It does not specify which safety functions, categories or performance levels are to be used for particular machines.
Machine specific standards (type-C standards) can identify performance levels and/or categories or they should be determined by the manufacturer of the machine based on risk assessment.
It is not applicable to non-E/E/PES systems (e.g. hydraulic, mechanic or pneumatic).

Dieser Teil der EN 16590 beschreibt die Konzeptphase der Entwicklung sicherheitsbezogener Teile von Steuerungen (SRP/CS) in land- und forstwirtschaftlichen Traktoren, selbstfahrenden Aufsitzmaschinen sowie Anbau-, Aufsattel- und Anhängemaschinen für landwirtschaftliche Geräte. Sie kann auch auf kommunale Geräte (z. B. Straßenkehrmaschinen) angewendet werden. Sie beschreibt Merkmale und Kategorien, die zur Ausführung sicherheitsrelevanter Funktionen durch SRP/CS-Systeme erforderlich sind.
Dieser Teil der EN 16590 gilt für sicherheitsbezogene Teile elektrischer/elektronischer/programmierbarer elektronischer Systeme (E/E/PES) als Teil mechatronischer Systeme. Sie schreibt jedoch nicht vor, welche Sicherheitsfunktionen, Kategorien oder Performance Levels für bestimmte Maschinen anzuwenden sind.
Maschinensicherheitsnormen (Typ-C-Normen) können entweder Performance Levels und/oder Kategorien selbständig identifizieren oder sie sollten durch den Maschinenhersteller auf Basis einer Risikobeurteilung festgelegt werden.
Sie ist nicht anzuwenden auf nicht-E/E/PES Systeme (z. B. hydraulische, mechanische und pneumatische).

La présente partie de l’EN 16590 spécifie la phase de conception du développement des parties relatives à la sécurité des systèmes de commande (SRP/CS) utilisés sur les tracteurs agricoles et forestiers, sur les machines automotrices à conducteur porté et sur les machines portées, semi-portées et remorquées utilisées en agriculture. Elle peut être également applicable aux équipements municipaux (par exemple machines de balayage des rues). Elle spécifie les caractéristiques et les catégories requises des SRP/CS pour réaliser leurs fonctions de sécurité.
La présente partie de l’EN 16590 s'applique aux parties relatives à la sécurité des systèmes électriques/électroniques/électroniques programmables (E/E/PES). Dans la mesure où celles-ci sont liées aux systèmes mécatroniques, elle ne spécifie ni les fonctions de sécurité ni les catégories censées être utilisées dans un cas particulier.
Les normes spécifiques (normes de type-C) peuvent identifier les niveaux de performance et/ou catégories ou il convient qu’ils soient déterminés par le fabricant de la machine sur la base de l’évaluation du risque.

Traktorji ter kmetijski in gozdarski stroji - Varnostni deli krmilnih sistemov - 2. del: Faza koncepta (ISO 25119-2:2010, spremenjen)
Standard EN 16590-2 določa fazo zasnove za projektiranje in razvoj varnostnih delov krmilnih sistemov (SRP/CS) za traktorje, ki se uporabljajo v kmetijstvu in gozdarstvu, in za samognane stroje s sedežem ter za priklopne, polpriklopne in vlečene stroje, ki se uporabljajo v kmetijstvu. Uporablja se lahko tudi za komunalno opremo (npr. za pometalne stroje). Določa lastnosti in kategorije, ki so zahtevane za SRP/CS, da lahko ti izvajajo svoje varnostne funkcije. Ta del standarda EN 16590 se uporablja za varnostne dele električnih/elektronskih/programirljivih elektronskih sistemov (E/E/PES), saj so ti povezani z mehatronskimi sistemi. Ne določa, katere varnostne funkcije, kategorije ali ravni delovanja je treba uporabiti za posamezne stroje. Standardi, značilni za stroje (standardi tipa C), lahko določajo ravni zmogljivosti in/ali kategorije oziroma naj bi jih določil proizvajalec stroja glede na oceno tveganja.

The hardware categories are listed on the horizontal axis. Each category has an associated diagnostic coverage (DC), mean time to dangerous failure (MTTFdC) and software requirement level (SRL) for a given performance level. For the required AgPLr the designer shall select one hardware category. NOTE Choosing a higher category for a given AgPL could allow lower MTTFd and/or SRL. 7.3.2 Achieving the required AgPLr The system design requirements shall be derived from the safety goals and, if necessary, from information about the safe state defined in the risk analysis (e.g. switching off or maintain function). The selected design shall be verified in an appropriate manner for effectiveness. NOTE The effectiveness can be verified, for example, in clinics, studies, by test subjects, or by simulation. The measures can also be defined in standards. A safety function may be implemented by one or more safety-related parts of the control system. The designer may use any of the technologies available singularly, or in combination. A safety E/E/PES can be combined with a mechanical function (e.g. mechanically linked contacts).

Designated architectures for SRP/CS A.1 General Figure 3 and Figures A.1 to A.3 define the architecture required for each respective hardware category. All architectures apply well-tried safety principles, including — avoidance of certain faults, e.g. avoidance of short circuit by separation, — reducing the probability of faults, e.g. over-dimensioning or underrating of components, — controlling the fault mode, e.g. by ensuring an open circuit when it is vital to remove power in the event of fault (normally open contact), and — detecting faults very early. The use of well-tried components is recommended. A well-tried component for a safety-related application shall be a component which has been a) widely used in the past with successful results in similar applications, or b) made and verified using principles which demonstrate suitability and reliability for safety-related applications. Newly developed components may be considered as being equivalent to well-tried components if they correspond to b), above. NOTE 1 The figures do not show examples but general architectures. A deviation from these architectures is always possible. Nevertheless, any deviation from these categories will require justification, by means of appropriate analytical tools, that the architecture meets the required category. NOTE 2 Redundancy, e.g. redundant sensors, can be used to improve diagnostic coverage. A.2 Category B (basic) See Figure 3 for the designated architecture. Properties — DC = low. — MTTFdC for channel = low to medium, the use of well-tried components is recommended. — The consideration of common-cause failure is not relevant. — The occurrence of a single fault can lead to the loss of the safety function. — Not suitable for a single-point fail operational system.
