Providing a solution to manage and control low voltage loads
An object-oriented digital load management solution is said to have huge potential in a modern industrial automation context, with its capacity to deal with motors and other electrical loads, such as pumps, relays, programmable logic controllers and conveyors up to an 80 A rating.
RS Components (RS), a trading brand of Electrocomponents, a global omni-channel solutions partner for industrial customers and suppliers, has added TeSys island from Schneider Electric to its portfolio.
Through its object-oriented approach with an array of 30 different predetermined application-specific functions that may be utilised, the platform is designed to provide a straightforward method for implementing and configuring complex industrial systems. The system aims to enable engineers to effectively offload much of the effort involved in the defining and commissioning of each constituent electro-mechanical component within the system. This makes the hardware installation phase much quicker and easier to complete, reducing costs and shortening the time before systems can be put into action.
The TeSys island allows supervisors of industrial systems to gain access to key diagnostic data, aimed at ensuring that maximum operational performance is always upheld and helping with preventive maintenance and fault identification.
The platform is compatible with all the main automation fieldbus IOs - including Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET and PROFIBUS. It can also be integrated with Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Machine Expert, Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000 and Siemens’ TIA portal and other proprietary third-party automation systems.
To further support automation engineers using the TeSys island platform, RS has also launched its own dedicated online configuration tool, allowing for the assignment of the correct variable speed drives and direct or soft starters to meet specific application requirements.
