nuclear critical softwares and RAM

Systerel has recognized expertise in the development of safety-critical software for the energy sector, particularly for nuclear systems subject to stringent functional safety and cybersecurity requirements.

We support our clients in the design, development, and security hardening of Instrumentation & Control (I&C) systems across all architectural levels of nuclear facilities.

I&C solutions across all architectural levels

Supervision and secure interconnections

  • Systerel designs and develops safe and secure gateways providing interfaces between:
    • Safety-classified I&C systems and non-classified supervision and operation systems (such as Panorama or Ignition).
    • These solutions ensure isolation, security, and integrity of data exchanges between domains with different criticality levels.
  • Systerel also develops non-classified control systems based on Industrial Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).

Safety-classified I&C systems

We deliver safety-classified I&C systems (Class A and B/C), particularly for:

  • Boiler systems and associated auxiliary equipment
  • Embedded computer programming
  • Safety Programmable Logic Controllers (Safety PLCs)

Our developments comply with the highest requirements in terms of functional safety, traceability, and regulatory compliance.

Our verification and validation (V&V) activities rely on various tools, some of which implement formal methods to ensure safety while automating verification activities (IXL Builder, back-to-back testing).

Field level and secure interfaces

Systerel provides Safe & Secure solutions at the field level through the SnS (Safe and Secure) product family:

  • Safe and secure digital input/output (I/O) modules
  • Industrial communication interfaces (IO-Link, discrete I/O)
  • Native integration of functional safety and cybersecurity constraints directly at field level

Cross-functional support and regulatory expertise

Beyond development activities, Systerel supports its clients across all technical, methodological, and regulatory aspects:

  • Preparation of safety cases
  • Technical and organizational audits
  • Implementation and continuous improvement of engineering processes
  • Design of software and hardware architectures targeting functional safety and cybersecurity certification

Proven expertise in complex projects.
