To make machines smarter and help reduce machine stoppages and downtime for unprecedented productivity, Schneider Electric has, launched TeSys Island – a digital load management system – in Australia.

The new connected system digitally integrates multifunction motor starters into machine control panels, allowing fast installation and configuration for the direct control and management of low voltage loads thanks to an end-to-end digital customer experience.

TeSys Island’s innovative object-orientated concept of TeSys avatars acts as a digital replica on top of the physical devices to facilitate integration and allows faster time to market.

This approach lets users focus on machine design, load integration, control and
simplifies the selection and commissioning of each electro-mechanical component.

Due to integration with the industrial fieldbus, TeSys Island eliminates the need for auxiliary wiring and therefore reduces the need for I/O modules.

Once in operation as part of Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Machine solution, TeSys Island helps minimise machine stoppages by providing easy and secured access diagnostic data for engineering and maintenance personnel by generating pre-alarms when unusual electrical load behavior is detected.

Operators can access information remotely and set up timely intervention by maintenance personnel.

This unprecedented level of data enables more accurate decision making to all users and reveals the secrets of the machine in operation. TeSys Island provides comprehensive device health, load level energy consumption, and application-specific protection data.

Asset identification data is also available to track installations and support the development of new service enabled business models.

As part of the renowned TeSys range, TeSys Island can be easily integrated into Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Machine architecture and 3rd party automation systems; supporting all major fieldbuses.

Automation integration is simplified, as are programming, testing, and commissioning. The system manages motors and other electrical loads up to 80A, and electrical and mechanical configurations can be easily updated throughout a machine’s life cycle, with only basic system knowledge required.
