Functional Safety in TeSys island

TeSys™ island provides specific avatars and physical devices to build configurations for Stop Category 0 and Stop Category 1 functions according to EN/IEC 60204-1. TeSys avatars are digital representations of the physical modules on the island, however, the TeSys island safety function relies only on electro-mechanical hardware components. The specific devices are the SIL* starter and SIL interface module. Another important concept is the SIL group: a set of avatars that are associated to one SIL interface module and follow the same safety function. Multiple SIL groups are possible within an island.

TeSys island must be integrated with other safety-related elements in a broader safety-related system to help ensure the functional safety of a machine or a system/process.
