Power Devices
TeSys island offers two types of power devices:
-
Standard and SIL* starters that include a contactor and provide the following functionality as part of a TeSys avatar:
-
Load control management
-
Electrical protection functions
-
Digital asset management
-
-
Power interface modules that monitor current but do not provide load control. Load control must be provided by a downstream external power device like a solid-state relay or a soft starter.
Avatars that include power devices can provide load level energy monitoring when a voltage interface module (VIM) is installed in the TeSys island .
SIL starters in combination with a SIL interface module (SIM) can achieve certified Stop Category 0 and Stop Category 1 functions. *
