Paitron– Functional Safety Suite

Automated functional safety analysis via drag & drop

Automate with Paitron

Paitron acts as a spell checker for engineering models, offering a “one-click” approach for safety analysis. Unlike other solutions, it seamlessly integrates with your preferred simulation tools, such as OrCAD & Matlab Simulink, reusing existing digital models for FMEA, FMECA, and FMEDA.

This streamlined process significantly reduces modeling overhead, eliminates the need for additional test models, and ensures a seamless, efficient, and hassle-free workflow with no media break.

Trustworthiness

No magic, nor probabilistic methods are used to derive the results. Formal methods and theorem proofing enable white-box reasoning and the highest quality. Therefore, receiving a Concept Report by TÜV SÜD (for ISO 26262 and IEC 61508).

Generic Approach

Whether E/E, PL, or interdisciplinary systems covering mechanics, hydraulics, and pneumatics, Paitron will support you.

Quick Specs

Relevant for

Standards

ISO 26262

Originated in 2011 as a functional safety standard for the automotive industry. The latest revision is in 2018. Distinguishes critical systems along ASIL A-D. Mandatory FMEA/FMEDA.

IEC 61508

The “mother of” functional safety standards was published in 1998. With its latest revision in 2010, it is mainly applied in the process industry. Categories are SIL 1-4. Mandatory FMEDA.

ISO 13849

Published in 2015, ISO 13849 is specifically applicable to control systems of safety-related systems, e.g. in robotics. Provides five classes to determine the safety of a system, PL a-e. FMEA/FMEDA/FMECA is mandatory.

and many more...

Whether medical devices, marine systems, trains, or aerospace, functional safety analyses are prescribed globally.

Workable with

Interfaces

Matlab Simulink

The modeling and simulation tool for nearly all use cases. With libraries ranging from the hydraulic to the electronic domain, Matlab Simulink is used across industries. Matlab Simulink 2019a onwards is supported.

LTSpice

The freeware tool by Analog Devices is the go-to software to simulate electronic circuits. Features are modeling, simulation & generation of Bill-of-materials. The latest version LTspice XVII is supported.

Cadence

Developed by Cadence, OrCAD offers functionality from modeling, and simulation to layouts.

and many more...

Siemens EDA Xpedition, Altium Designer, and many more tools are supported by Paitron. In case of no existing interface to your tool, we are happy to provide you with the proper implementation.

Capable of

Analyses

FMEA

FMEA is an inductive approach to assess a system’s behavior under fault. The bottom-up analysis allows inspecting possible failure modes methodologically.

FMEDA

Failure modes, effects, and diagnostic analysis is an extension to the FMEA to reflect the diagnostic capabilities of a system.

FMECA

Failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis put emphasis on the severity and occurrence rate of failure effects.

and many more...

Furthermore, Fault-tree analysis (FTA), Root-cause analysis (RCA), and many more analyses are employed in the industry. In case of an individualized analysis, please contact us for support.

Template-based formalization of safety functions and analyses

In this article, we present a template for gathering & structuring all information required by a human or software to perform a failure-mode-and-effects analysis (FMEA) using formal languages. The practical use of such a template for safety analysis is highlighted through the safety analysis (single point of failure) of a voltage monitor presented in the “ARP4761 recommended practice for aerospace system safety assessment”.
