TeSys island Concept
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) installed in an electrical control panel.
This system is designed around the concept of TeSys avatars. These avatars :
-
Represent both the logical and physical aspects of the automation functions
-
Determine the configuration of the TeSys 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 flat cables 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 I/O modules, voltage interface modules, and SIL (Safety Integrity Level according to standard IEC 61508) interface modules, covering a wide range of operational functions.
