The SISTEMA software utility provides developers and testers of safety-related machine controls with comprehensive support in the evaluation of safety in the context of ISO 13849-1. The tool enables you to model the structure of the safety-related control components based upon the designated architectures, thereby permitting automated calculation of the reliability values with various levels of detail, including that of the attained Performance Level (PL).
Relevant parameters such as the risk parameters for determining the required performance level (PLr), the category of the SRP/CS, measures against common-cause failures (CCF) on multi-channel systems, the average component quality (MTTFd) and the average test quality (DCavg) of components and blocks, are entered step by step in input dialogs. Each parameter change is reflected immediately on the user interface with its impact upon the entire system. The final results can be printed out in a summary document.

Critical "Log4Shell" vulnerability: SISTEMA is not affected!
The SISTEMA software does not use JAVA and thus does not use the "log4j" library. "Log4Shell" can therefore not affect SISTEMA.
