Engineering Tools

The engineering tools include EcoStruxure Machine Expert, EcoStruxure Control Expert, SoMove software, and the TeSys island DTM.

These tools allow you to configure, monitor, control, and customize TeSys island . The engineering tools assist with the design, engineering, and commissioning phases of the island, as well as with PLC programming. The TeSys island engineering tools are built using open FDT or DTM technology.

Design Functions

Design the TeSys island topology.
Generate a bill of material.

Engineering Functions

Adjust the settings of TeSys avatars to customize the electrical and load protection parameters.
Communicate with the PLC (Machine Expert and SoMove software).

Commissioning Functions

Check the electrical wiring and test the electrical lines in Test mode without loading a configuration.
Simulate commands from the PLC and set the status of the avatars in Force mode.
Check the island’s status and monitor the avatars with diagnostic features.
Compare the loaded configuration and topology against the project file.
Operate the island directly from a control panel.

Programming Functions

Generate exchange files for third-party PLC programming environments (SoMove software).
Access a library of function blocks (Machine Expert) for control, diagnostics, energy monitoring, and asset management.

The engineering tool can be downloaded from www.se.com by entering TeSys island DTM in the Search field. SoMove software can also be downloaded directly from the Schneider Electric website.

Full Integration into SoMove Software

Aided design to determine

The bill of materials of the TeSys island
The topology of the TeSys island

Aided engineering

Generation of exchange files with a third party programming environment (EDS files, AML files)
Fast programming using function blocks
Customized functions for Electrical protections, Motor protections, and Energy monitoring
Contextual setting of parameters for communication with the controller and avatars

Aided commissioning

Test mode: Check the electrical wiring and test the electrical lines without loading a configuration.
Force mode: Force the commands and avatar status to ease commissioning.
Diagnostic tab: Check the status, monitor the avatars and their associated modules, and compare the loaded configuration and topology with the project file.
Control panel: Operate the TeSys island directly.
