1.1 General

Thyro-S is a Thyristor switch with the ability to communicate. It will also be referred
to as Power Controller or simply controller. It can be used wherever voltages or cur-
rents need to be controlled in processing technology. With its good coupling ability
to process and automation technology, high control precision and simple handling,
Thyro-S is also future-orientated for new applications. The Thyro-S is suitable for a
direct supply of ohmic loads.

1.2 Specific characteristics

Thyro-S has a wide range of distinguishing features, for instance
• easy handling
• type range 230-500 Volts, 8-280 A, single phase
• ohmic load
• operating modes 1:1, as well as 1:2, 1:3 and 1:5 (e.g. for commissioning)
• control with 24V signal (from 3V) via optional bus module
• series system interface
• electrical separation according to EN 50178 chapt. 3
Options:
• bus connections via bus module (bus adapter) coupling to different bus systems,
