Technology object
A technology object supports you in the configuration and commissioning of a technological
function.
The properties of real objects are represented by the technology objects in the controller.
Real objects can be, for example, controlled systems or drives.
The technology object includes all data of the real object that is required for its open-loop or
closed-loop control, and it signals the status information.
TIA Portal
Totally Integrated Automation Portal
The TIA Portal is the key to the full performance capability of Totally Integrated Automation.
The software optimizes all operating, machine and process sequences.
Total current
Sum of the currents of all output channels of a digital output module.
TWIN end sleeve
End sleeve for two cables
Type of coordination 1
The motor starter may be non-operational after a short circuit has been cleared. Damage to
the motor starter is permissible.
Types of coordination
The IEC 60947-4-1 (VDE 0660 Part 102) standard distinguishes between two types of
coordination referred to as coordination type "1" and coordination type "2". The short circuit
that needs to be dealt with is cleared reliably and safely with both types of coordination; the
only differences are in the extent of the damage sustained by the device following a short
circuit.
