SIL* starters provide similar functions to standard starters but are associated with a SIL interface module.
The main functions of the SIL starters are as follows:
-
Provide Stop Category 0 and Stop Category 1* functionality
-
Provide operational control for loads
-
Measure electrical data related to the load
-
Provide energy monitoring data when a voltage interface module is installed in the TeSys island
Multiple SIL starters might be needed for a single TeSys avatar function. For example, the avatar Motor Two Directions - SIL Stop, W. Cat 1/2* includes two SIL starters. In addition, avatars using SIL starters always include a SIL interface module.
The SIL starters are connected:
-
Upstream to a circuit breaker
-
Downstream to the load
The SIL starters communicate with the bus coupler, sending operational data and receiving commands.
