You can now configure the TeSys™ island parameters in offline mode using the avatar concept.

Avatar Concept of the TeSys™ island DTM

The TeSys™ island DTM is using an avatar concept. Avatars are functional and digital representations of the physical modules and processes that are available in the TeSys™ island.

The following types of avatars are available:

Avatar	Representing	Description
System	Bus coupler	Managing and integrating the TeSys™ island.
Device	Individual modules (such as starter, input / output modules)	Managing modules as stand-alone devices.
Load	Module operation relating to a specific load	Managing different load type applications. For example, a forward-reverse motor avatar includes a forward and reverse starter, along with pre-programmed forward-reverse operating logic.
