Schneider TeSys island system

Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, has announced important additions to its versatile TeSys island digital load management system solution.

TeSys island on launch redefined the way loads are managed and introduced unprecedented potential for efficiency in machine design, installation and service phases, said a statement.

TeSys island is a fully digitised and object-oriented load management system and an Industry 4.0 compliant data provider, it said.

With the availability of advanced power and diagnostic data, it is improving load performance and control while limiting downtime. The efficient modular/scalable TeSys island design translates into OEM assembly savings due to drastically reduced wiring, integration savings because of easy connectivity in mixed vendor environments, maintenance savings since remote maintenance is now possible.

End users benefit from a rich suite of functions that drive operational efficiencies. Also, users and OEMs now have the benefit of predictive maintenance to help reduce downtime.

TeSys island application avatars, which are now added to the existing library of function-based avatars, are digital objects with pre-programmed functionality integrated.

The two new configurable application avatars, one for pumping applications and one for conveyor applications, are designed to ensure easy integration into existing system infrastructures, through connection to the TeSys island bus coupler and I/O modules.

Control modes can be chosen by the user to be either remote (PLC driven), autonomous (process variable driven) or local (operator driven).

Application avatar features enable flexible operation of the TeSys island digital load management system in a number of new ways.

The new features have earned TeSys island third place in the Automation category award of SPS Nürnberg in 2019.
