System description
12 TM800_D00165_00_M_XXEN/06.2015
MEDICS®includes:
Single and three-phase monitoring modules. MEDICS®system modules are, for example:
UMC…, USC…, UFC… and/or EDS… insulation fault location systems
Display and operating units such as TM… alarm indicator and operator panels or MK… alarm
indicator and test combinations
Communication between these components via the BMS bus (two-wire connection).
The connection of third-party technical systems by means of protocol converters (gateways) or
via digital inputs and relay outputs.
The real strength of MEDICS®is to be found in communication between all involved components and
the resulting information provided to the user. The functionality of the equipment is continuously
monitored. Operating states, irregularities, faults and equipment failures are displayed. This means
high operational reliability of the installation for the user.
3.2 TM800 features
On its backlit LC display, the TM800 displays messages from all BMS-bus devices and digital inputs
assigned via alarm addresses. As well as being used as a standalone indicator, the TM800 also sup-
ports parallel indication in different rooms. In the event of an alarm message, the yellow LED "WARN-
ING" or the red LED "ALARM" lights up and the message appears on the LC display in plain text
format. At the same time there is an audible signal (can be acknowledged/muted). If a second mes-
sage is received whilst the first is still pending, the audible signal will sound again and the messages
will appear alternately on the LC display. The address of the device triggering the alarm can also be
called up. The audible signal sounds again once a configurable period of time has elapsed (repetition
can be deactivated). Illuminated pushbuttons can be programmed to signal alarms and operating
states or for programming operating information. Operator actions or messages can be output via
digital outputs.
Internal device parameters (alarm addresses, test addresses…) and the parameter setting of EDS-
and RCMS systems can be accessed via the menu system. TM800 can be also be used as a master de-
vice in installations with a number of IT and EDS systems.
The test button can be used to check the function of the associated devices such as insulation mon-
itoring devices, LIM (Line Isolation Monitors) or GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit interrupters). The message
is output only on the TM800 on which the test button "TEST" was pressed. The test and its individual
evaluations are carried out sequentially. Finally, a message appears indicating either a successful test
or a fault.
