Session topics

Abstract

Introduction of functional safety in industrial automation & robotics

This session provides a holistic overview of functional safety standards in industrial automation and robotics, covering fundamental concepts, key standards (such as Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and Performance Level (PL) targets) and how TI enables functional safety through chips and system-level solutions. As system complexity and intelligence continue to increase, safety design has evolved from single-point protection to system-level collaboration. The session will also outline how functional safety chips and reference designs can help engineers achieve compliant functional safety systems as efficiently as possible.

Safety design considerations for functional sensing systems for robots and industrial automation

In industrial automation and robotics systems, sensing is a critical enabler of environmental understanding and autonomous decision making, and its functional safety directly impacts the reliability and safety of the overall system. This session focuses on functional safety design requirements within sensing systems for robotics and industrial automation, with emphasis on key elements of the sensor signal chain — including fault detection and diagnostic mechanisms across data acquisition, processing, and transmission. It also explores how system-level safety architecture design and functional safety device support can enhance sensing system stability and data trustworthiness in complex application scenarios, helping achieve higher-level safety targets such as SIL.
