Good News! Sinsegye SAF Series Attains TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Certification, Achieving SIL 3, Cat. 4 / PL e — The Highest Industrial Safety Ratings!
Sinsegye’s SAF series safety modules, SAF1000 and SAF1010, have officially passed TÜV Rheinland functional safety certification and obtained SIL 3, Cat. 4 / PL e accreditations, the maximum achievable safety levels in industrial applications. This milestone adds an internationally recognized safety credential to domestic industrial control products.
The full-scale verification was conducted by TÜV Rheinland in strict accordance with three core standards: EN 61800-5-2, EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 61508. Every link underwent rigorous testing, including safety logic calculation, communication protocol stacks and actuator response. The SAF series can be deployed seamlessly in scenarios compliant with EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG, truly delivering domestic industrial control hardware with international certification for global deployment.
Committed to Building Top-Tier Domestic Industrial Functional Safety
Amid Industry 4.0, manufacturing equipment runs at higher speeds and production lines feature greater integration. Higher efficiency brings elevated safety risks. Accidental emergency stop triggers can halt entire production lines worth millions, while faulty safety logic may endanger personnel lives. For this reason, Sinsegye regards functional safety as the lifeline of all its products.
We are proud to announce that our SAF series safety modules, our dedicated industrial safety solution, have completed functional safety assessment by TÜV Rheinland, a globally renowned authoritative testing and certification body.
This achievement marks a major milestone for Sinsegye and represents a breakthrough for domestically manufactured industrial control products on the path to global safety compliance.
Why TÜV Rheinland Certification Is More Than a Credential
Why invest heavily in obtaining TÜV Rheinland certification? Trust requires authoritative validation. TÜV Rheinland holds one of the most prestigious safety certifications across the industrial control sector. The assessment evaluates not only individual hardware modules, but the entire chain of control logic, actuators and software ecosystem. The competitive edge of Sinsegye SAF series lies in its complete closed-loop system, covering deterministic hardware response and visual software programming.
Product Highlights: Six Core Capabilities Forming an Industrial Safety Brain
Built on cutting-edge technical architecture, the SAF series delivers core strengths across six dimensions:
- Deterministic Safety Logic Processing：The SAF series performs nanosecond-level real-time logic computation for safety inputs, outputs and activation signals. It delivers fixed response times for emergency stops, safety light curtains and safety doors, eliminating logic jitter.
- Intelligent Scanner Management：Supports dynamic activation and monitoring of safety scanning zones. The system intelligently calculates monitoring results based on equipment operating status and reports data in real time to enable full-coverage safety protection.
- Integrated Safe Motion Control：For high-dynamic motion scenarios, the SAF series enables deterministic communication and processing of safe position and speed signals. It accurately executes SLS (Safely Limited Speed), SOS (Safe Operating Stop) and other safety commands to maintain equipment within safe operating boundaries during human-machine collaboration.
- Dual Communication Architecture：Breaking communication barriers, the series integrates non-safety EtherCAT and Modbus TCP/IP interfaces, alongside an embedded FSoE master protocol stack for secure connection with upper-level control systems.
- Simplified Maintenance & Parameter Storage：Built-in safety parameter storage eliminates reprogramming when replacing modules — plug-and-play operation. The front panel features multi-function buttons and IO indicator lights, allowing engineers to start, reset and diagnose faults on-site with one click, no PC connection required.
- Visual Programming Ecosystem (UniSafe PLC) — Core Software Advantage：Unlike traditional complex coding workflows, the SAF series supports configuration via the UniSafe PLC environment:
-
- Graphical drag-and-drop programming with function blocks for intuitive logic visualization
- Flexible configuration of sensors, actuators and technical parameters
- Cost and time efficiency: drastically shortened programming cycles for faster delivery of safety projects
Closing Remarks: Safer Smart Manufacturing Made in China
This TÜV Rheinland certification recognizes countless days and nights of R&D work and stands as a solemn promise to all our customers.
For Sinsegye, domestic industrial localization is not merely catching up on performance, but surpassing international benchmarks in quality and safety. We will uphold our standards of high safety, high performance and high reliability, leveraging self-developed core technologies to empower China’s smart manufacturing sector.
