Power Interface Module
Power interface modules (PIMs) provide the following:
- 
                  
                  
Electrical and thermal protection functions
 - 
                  
                  
Digital asset management
 
TeSys avatars that include power devices can provide full-load energy monitoring when a voltage interface module is installed on the TeSys island .
A PIM can be associated with an analog I/O module to measure temperature through an external sensor. A PIM can also control and monitor the current supplied to an external device.
The main functions of the PIMs are as follows:
- 
                  
                  
Measure electrical downstream data related to the load
 - 
                  
                  
Provide energy monitoring data when a voltage interface module is installed on the TeSys island
 
The PIMs are connected:
- 
                  
                  
Upstream to a circuit breaker
 - 
                  
                  
Downstream to an external power device like a contactor, soft starter, or variable speed drive
 
The PIMs communicate with the bus coupler, sending operational data and receiving commands.
