Understanding ISO 26262

The functional safety of electrical and electronic systems in mass-produced cars is addressed by ISO 26262, an international standard. It outlines requirements for the systematic and structural development of safety-related systems, including wire harness design, and offers guidance for their development.

A software program called Aucotec Engineering Base is used for wire harness design as well as the design and documentation of electrical and automation systems. With capabilities like these, it can support ISO 26262's criteria.

The ability to organize the design into several levels, such as system, subsystem, and component level, enables hierarchical design and can aid in the methodical development of the design.

Configuration management: Offers tools for controlling and recording changes to the design, such as revision history and version control, which can aid in tracing changes and preserving the design process's documentation.

Collaboration: Offers resources for team members to work together on the design. These resources include the ability to assign tasks, provide comments, and review modifications. These resources can aid in the methodical and structural development of the design.

Data management: Offers resources for organizing and managing design data, including the capability of connecting design data to other documents and restricting access to data, which can aid in the management of the design process.

Overall, Aucotec Engineering Base can support ISO 26262 criteria by offering tools and features that make it easier to construct safety-related systems in a systematic and systematic-structural way, including wire harness design.
