Machine safety software FAQ
What is machine safety software?
One workflow for risk assessment, PL/SIL and compliance evidence, replacing spreadsheets.
Does MSA calculate ISO 13849 performance levels?
Yes. It determines PLr and verifies achieved PL per safety function.
Does MSA support IEC 62061 SIL?
Yes. SIL assignment and verification per IEC 62061, plus HAZOP, LOPA and SIF registers per IEC 61511.
Is there a human in the loop?
Yes. MSA does the analysis; certified safety engineers review and sign off.
Is MSA cloud software?
No. MSA runs offline, on-premises, so your machine and plant data stays inside your network.
