Renesas first to offer SIL3 software certification for industrial equipment
When starting on a new functional safety system, developers face a large number of difficult technological problems, including the interpretation of standards, acquiring methods for constructing dual-structure MCUs, and selecting third parties for support. Users experienced in configuring functional safety systems also face development burdens such as acquiring software certification and the recertification associated with the expansion of system functions.
Renesas’ solution is based on the company’s RX MCU series and is intended to provide advanced functional safety for industrial equipment, including functions for chip self-diagnostics, what the company claims is the world’s first SIL3-certified functional safety software, and reference documents for users to develop the safety part of industrial applications.
Featuring dual-MCU configuration, RX Functional Safety will support all RXv2 core Renesas MCUs to enable simple safety verification and highly efficient diagnostics software.
