Burner control unit with plug-in spring force connection terminals
Burner control units BCU 560 or BCU 565 control, ignite and
monitor gas burners in intermittent or continuous operation.
They can be used for directly ignited industrial burners of
unlimited capacity. The burners may be modulating-controlled
or stage-controlled. Their fast reaction to various process
requirements makes the BCUs suitable for frequent cycling
operation.
On industrial furnaces, they reduce the load on the central
furnace control by taking over tasks that relate to the burner, for
example they ensure that the burner ignites in a safe condition
when it is restarted.
The air control on the BCU..F1, F2 or F3 assists the furnace
control for cooling, purging and capacity control tasks.
The burner control units have an interface via which an air
valve or actuator (IC 20, IC 40 or RBW) can be controlled for
staged or modulating burner capacity control.
The BCU 565..F3 is equipped with air flow monitoring and
pre- and post-ventilation for use on self recuperative burners.
The program status, the unit parameters and the level of the
flame signal can be read directly from the unit. The burner or a
connected control element can be activated manually using the
integrated Manual mode for setting and diagnostic purposes.
Thanks to the optionally integrated valve proving system, the
valves can be checked for leaks by querying an external gas
pressure switch or it can be checked whether the gas valve
on the inlet side is closed.
Using the BCSoft program, the parameters, analysis and
diagnostic information can be read from a BCU via the
optionally available opto-adapter. All valid parameters are
saved on an integrated parameter chip card. The parameter
chip card can be removed from the old unit and inserted into
a new BCU to transfer the parameters, for example when
replacing the unit.
