The application example Burner Technology for F Systems (Burner library) supports you in the creation of Oil burner, Gas burner and Solid matter burner applications with single or multi burner.
Creating a burner application
In the process of creating a burner application several directives have to be complied. So the control logic is to be created according to specific functional requirements coming from EN 746-2. The functions of the library were developed with regards to individual sub‑functions, in order to ensure a modular application when using several burners. The function example follows the guidelines of EN 746-2 and further standards.
The library supports Oil burner, Gas burner and Solid matter burner as singel and multi burner applications.
It has the following functions:
Function for controlling the ignition / pilot burner
Function for controlling the functions of a gas burner
Function for controlling the functions of an oil burner
Function for cleaning/blowing out the oil burner
Function to perform a tightness test of the gas valves
Function for controlling and monitoring of air dampers (and actuators with discrete position-feedback)
Function for controlling and monitoring of analogue actuator.
The Burner application example for TIA Portal (Burner library) supports you in the creation of Oil burner, Gas burner and Solid matter burner applications with single or multi-burner.
A furnace or burner system is usually not only composed of the actual combustion chamber and the burners, but is a combination of the most diverse automation and control components. Like any plant it has to comply with the machinery directive 2006/48/EG to best avoid any danger to man, the machine itself and the environment during the whole lifecycle of the plant. To comply with the machinery directive the (harmonized) standards can be used. For the safety of atomization plants in general these are the EN 62061 or EN ISO 13849-1. Concerning the safety of (industrial) furnaces and burner systems in particular there are other standards, as for example EN 746-2, which demonstrate the potential risks and methods (constructional and functional) of how to avoid these.
Safety conditions for the use of the software
The software function blocks shall be integrated into the logic of the user program, taking into
account the requirements of the applicable standards and regulations as well as the risk or
hazard analysis of the individual application. The correct implementation shall be verified and
must be validated by functional tests.
The safety manuals for the automation system as well as the application manual for the soft-
ware function blocks must be taken into account when integrating them into the user program,
and during commissioning, operation and validation tests.
