TeSys island Overview

TeSys island is a modular, multifunctional system providing integrated functions inside an automation architecture, primarily for the direct control and management of low-voltage loads. TeSys island can switch, help protect, and manage motors and other electrical loads up to 80 A (AC1) or 65 A (AC3) installed in an electrical control panel.

This system is designed around the concept of TeSys Avatars.

These Avatars:

• Represent both logical and physical aspects of the automation functions.

• Determine the configuration of the island.

The logical aspects of the TeSys island are managed with software tools, covering all phases of product and application lifecycle: design, engineering, commissioning, operation, and maintenance.

The physical TeSys island consists of a set of devices installed on a single DIN rail, and connected together with a flat cable providing the internal communication between modules. The external communication with the automation environment is made through a single bus coupler module, and the TeSys island is seen as a single node on the network.

The other modules include starters, power interface modules, analog and digital IO modules, voltage interface modules, and SIL interface modules, covering a wide range of operational functions.
