SNAP-IN system simplifies industrial motor control

Schneider Electric has introduced TeSys Deca SNAP IN, a new motor control solution designed to reduce wiring complexity and installation time in industrial automation systems, improving the efficiency of assembly and commissioning processes.

Application context and technical relevance
In industrial motor control, wiring tasks account for a significant share of control cabinet assembly time and maintenance effort. TeSys Deca SNAP IN was developed to address this challenge through a simplified connection concept, particularly for panel builders and OEMs with high requirements for productivity and reliability.

Operating principle and installation
The system is based on SNAP-IN connection technology, which allows conductors to be inserted directly without tools. This approach eliminates conventional screw terminals and significantly reduces manual wiring steps.

According to the manufacturer, the SNAP-IN technology can reduce wiring time by up to 92% compared with conventional solutions. The transition from screw connections to push-in connections also reduces assembly variability and improves process repeatability.

Integration and operational robustness
TeSys Deca SNAP IN is designed for direct integration into existing motor control architectures and supports a plug-and-play approach that simplifies both new installations and retrofit projects. The mechanical design is suited for industrial environments with high requirements for robustness and operational continuity.

Operational benefits for panel builders and OEMs
The reduction in wiring time has a direct impact on control cabinet production workflows. For panel builders and machine manufacturers, this results in shorter assembly times, faster commissioning, and reduced time-to-market. In critical applications where system availability is essential, rapid installation and maintenance help minimize downtime.

Technical positioning
TeSys Deca SNAP IN is positioned within Schneider Electric’s portfolio as a solution aimed at simplifying motor control engineering. Tool-free connection technology, compatibility with existing systems, and design for industrial operating conditions make it suitable for applications where operational efficiency, reliability, and reduced installation time are key requirements.
