Course Overview

The Functional Safety For Machinery Introduction (SAF-TUV1) course by Rockwell Automation is designed to equip engineers and technical professionals with foundational knowledge in machinery safety standards and compliance. This instructor-led training is highly recommended for individuals preparing for the Rockwell Automation®/TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Engineer certification, serving roles such as control systems engineers, safety integrity specialists, and machinery design engineers. With increasing regulatory demands across industries, 78% of industrial manufacturers now require functional safety certification for critical automation roles, underscoring the importance of standardized training. The course covers core principles of safety-related control systems, risk assessment methodologies, and compliance with international standards such as ISO 13849-1:2015 and IEC 62061, ensuring participants understand the lifecycle requirements for safe machinery design.

Participants engage with key Rockwell Automation platforms including Allen-Bradley safety controllers, GuardLogix systems, and Studio 5000® software to configure and validate safety circuits. The hands-on lab component is conducted in a simulated industrial environment using real-world safety devices such as light curtains, safety mats, and emergency stop circuits. Students build and test safety logic implementations, perform Performance Level (PL) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) calculations, and validate system designs per ISO 13849-2. A capstone scenario involves designing a compliant safety system for a robotic cell, integrating hardware selection, software logic, and documentation for audit readiness. These practical exercises ensure that learners gain applied experience with the tools and processes used in certified safety system deployment.

Completion of the Functional Safety For Machinery Introduction (SAF-TUV1) course prepares candidates for the Rockwell Automation/TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Engineer certification, a globally recognized credential that validates expertise in industrial safety systems. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 18% and are in high demand across automotive, pharmaceutical, and heavy manufacturing sectors. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with official Rockwell Automation courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and access to 1-on-1 post-training mentoring.
