FCU with plug-in connection terminals
Protective system control FCU 500 is designed to mon-
itor and control central safety functions, e.g. gas
min.
,
gas
max.
, air
min.
, pre-purge, tightness test, high tempera-
ture operation or start enable for burner control units, in
multiple burner systems on industrial furnaces. In a fur-
nace and zone control system, the FCU 500 assumes
central functions. The FCU 505 is used to monitor local
safety functions and to control the zone capacity. If the
centrally checked safety requirements, e.g. pre-purge,
flow detector and pressure switch check, have been
met, the FCUs issue the start enable signal to the burn-
er control units.
The FCU is optionally available with integrated safety
temperature monitor or safety temperature limiter,
integrated tightness control and with an interface for
controlling the capacity of actuators or a frequency
converter interface.
The program status and device parameters can be read
directly from the unit. The FCU can be activated manu-
ally using the integrated Manual mode for setting and
diagnostic purposes.
Thanks to the optionally integrated valve proving sys-
tem, 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 the FCU
via the optionally available opto-adapter. All valid pa-
rameters are saved on an integrated parameter chip
card. The parameter chip card can be removed from the
old unit and inserted into a new FCU to transfer the pa-
rameters, for example when replacing the unit.
