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 (IC20, IC40 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.
BCU 560, BCU 565 · Edition 02.165
Application
The monitored outputs for the actuator and valves are ac-
commodated in a plug-in power module. This can simply be
replaced if necessary.
Once the plug-in power module has been removed, the
parameter chip card and fuses are accessible.
The BCU can be installed on a DIN rail in the control cabinet.
Plug-in connection terminal strips on the BCU make it easier
to install and remove.
The external operator-control unitOCU is available as an option
for the burner control units. The OCU can be installed in the
control cabinet door instead of standard control units. The
program statusorfault messagescan be read on the OCU. For
burner adjustment, the operating points can be approached
conveniently in Manual mode using the operator-control unit.
The address for the fieldbus communication is set using
three code switches.
The optional bus module BCM500 makes it possible to con-
nect the BCU to a fieldbus interface in a PROFINET network.
Networking via the fieldbus enables multiple BCUs to be controlled and monitored by an automation system (e.g.PLC). The
bus module is prepared for DIN rail installation. It is pushed
on to the BCU from the side.
Thanks to the operator-control unitOCU, display functions and
operation of the BCU can be relocated to the control cabinet door.

1.1.4 Flame control using the temperature
In high temperature systems (temperature >750°C), the flame
may be controlled indirectly via the temperature. As long as
the temperature in the furnace chamber is below 750°C, the
flame must be controlled by conventional methods.
If the temperature in the furnace chamber rises above the
spontaneous ignition temperature of the gas/air mixture
(>750°C), the FCU signals to the burner control units via the
fail-safe HT output that the furnace system is in High tempera-
ture mode (HT). When the HT input is activated, the burner
control units switch toHigh temperature mode. They operate
without evaluating the flame signal and their internal flame
control is non-functional.
If the furnace temperature falls below the spontaneous ignition
temperature (<750°C), the FCU disconnects the HToutput
from the electrical power supply. There is no longer an active
signal at the HT inputs of the burner control units. The flame
signals are monitored once again by the UV sensor or ionization electrode.
In the event of a fault in a temperature monitoring component
(e.g. sensor discontinuity, sensor short-circuit) or in the event
of a mains failure, the flame control task is transferred to the
burner control units.

The burner control unit BCU 565 switches the burner BIC..M
ON/OFF in cycles. Burner BIC..M is controlled without pneu-
matic air/gas ratio control system. The gas supply pressure
is controlled by the gas pressure regulatorVAD; the required
burner capacity is set using the fine-adjusting valveVMV. The
capacity is controlled by actuator IC40 and butterfly valveBVH.
An air pressure switch upstream of the burner monitors the
functioning of the butterfly valve. In addition, air/gas ratio
monitoring for the zone or the furnace is required.
As soon as the safety temperature monitor STM signals a
furnace temperature of ≥850°C(1562°F), the burner can be
switched to flameless combustion (menox® low NOx mode)
to significantly reduce NOx emissions.
Switching to menox
®
low NOx mode eliminates the counterpressure by the flame in the ceramic tubeTSC. At a constant
gas supply pressure, the gas volume increases by approximately15%. In menox® low NOx mode, the butterfly valve
moves to a smaller open position which has been adapted
to the pressure ratios.

The bus system transfers the control signals from the auto-
mation system (PLC) to the BCU/BCM for starting, resetting,
controlling the air valve, purging the furnace or for cooling
and heating during operation. In the opposite direction, it
sends operating status, the level of the flame signal and the
current program status.
Control signals that are relevant for safety, such as the safety
interlocks, purge and HT input, are transferred independently
of the bus communication by separate cables.

1.1.7 ON/OFF rotary impulse control for
burners up to 360kW
For processes which require a turndown
of more than 10:1 and/or those which
require heavy circulation of the furnace
atmosphere toensure a uniform tem-
M
perature, e.g. heat treatment furnaces
operating at low and medium temperatures in the metallurgical industry.
With ON/OFF cyclic control, the capacity
supplied to the process is controlled by
means of a variable ratio of the operating time to the pause time. In this type of
control, the burner output pulse frequency always maintains full momentum and
results in maximum convection in the
furnace chamber, even with regulated
heating.
The pneumatic ratio control system con-
trols the gas pressure on the burner proportionally to the air pressure and thus
maintains a constant air/gas ratio. At the
same time, it acts as a low air pressure
protection device.
The ignition and monitoring of the in-
dividual burners is ensured by burner
TE
control unit BCU560.
The centrally checked safety functions
such as pre-purge, tightness test, flow
detector and pressure switch check
(gas

1.1.8 Modulating burner control
For processes that do not require heavy
circulation in the furnace, e.g. aluminium
smelting furnaces.
This system is suitable for processes in
which infiltrated air may flow into the
M
furnace throughswitched off burners.
The capacity can be adjusted continu-
ously by activating the control element
(analogue or 3-point step signal). The
pneumatic ratio control system controls
the gas pressure proportionally to the air
pressure and thus maintains a constant
air/gas ratio. At the same time, it acts
as a low air pressure protection device.
One burner control unit per burner is
required for ignition and monitoring.
The centrally checked safety functions
such as pre-purge, setting the valve
to ignition position via a butterfly valve
control system, tightness test, flow detector and pressure switch check (gas

system (FCU 500) starts the pre-purge time if there is adequate
air flow. After the elapse of the pre-purge time, the control
element moves to the ignition position. Once the protective
system (terminal 46, safety interlocks) has issued the enable
signal, the burner can be started by the start-up signal at
terminal 1. The control element can be activated to control
the burner’s capacity dependent on parameters 48 and 49.
Modulating control
Parameter 48 = 3After the operating signal has been received from the burner
and after expiry of the delay time for the controller enable
signal (parameter 44), the BCU issues the controller enable
signal via the output at terminal 56. Access to the control element is thus transferred to an external temperature controller
(3-point step). The temperature controller controls the burner
capacity (air volume) on the basis of the required temperature.
Depending on the wiring of the temperature controller, the
actuator may be adjusted between maximum capacity and
ignition capacity or minimum capacity.
Depending on parameter40, an actuator IC20, IC40, IC50
or an actuator with an RBW interface can be actuated via
the outputs for capacity control. Detailed information about
parameter 40, see from page78 (Capacity control).
The BCU..F1/F2 activates a control element via the outputs for
capacity control (terminals 53 to56) for purging, cooling or
starting the burner. This control element moves to the required
position for the relevant operating situation.

4.1.2 BCU..F3
The BCU..F3 activates an air valve for purging, cooling or start-
ing the burner. The required air capacity is released by the
air valve.
As soon as there is a purge signal at terminal 50 of BCU..F3, the
air valve is activated by the output at terminal 10. The protective
system (FCU 500) starts the pre-purge time if there is adequate
air flow. After the elapse of the pre-purge time, the air valve
closes for ignition. Once the protective system (terminal 46,
safety interlocks) has issued the enable signal, the burner can
be started by the start-up signal at terminal 1. The gas valves
for the 1st stage are opened and the burner is ignited (on the
BCU..C1 after a successful valve check). After the operating
signal has been received from the burner, the gas valve for
the 2ndstage opens.
Staged control
P48 = 0, 1 or 2Depending on parameters 48 and 49, the control element may
be activated either by the program or externally via the input

5 menox® low NOx mode
▼
menox® low NOx mode leads to a drastic reduction in thermal
NOx formation in ON/OFF-controlled high-velocity burners.
5.1 System structure and function
The system consists of a burner BIC..M with system compo-
nents tailored to the application. The system components
make it possible to operate the burner in two operating modes:
conventional flame mode in low furnace temperatures and
menox® low NOx mode with flameless combustion at higher
furnace temperatures.

BIC..M
The gas and air for flame mode and low NO
mode are sup-
x
plied via the same connections. The gas pressure upstream
of the burner is adjusted using a pressure regulator (e.g. VAD).
The gas volume is set using a fine-adjusting valve (e.g. VMV).
The air volume for the operating modes is set by adjusting
the butterfly valve (e.g. BVH). The air pressure is monitored
on each burner by a pressure switch to check the functioning
of the butterfly valve. In addition, air/gas ratio monitoring
for the zone or the furnace is required since the air pres-
sure switch is not sufficient for use as a low air pressure
protection device.
The menox
®
burner BIC..M has a special mixing unit whose
geometric design ensures reliable ignition and a stable flame
while also making sure that the combustion process is transferred to the furnace chamber for menox® mode.
In menox
®
mode, the inflammable gas/air mixture must be
prevented from igniting prematurely in the ceramic combustion
chamber each time the burner is switched on. The flow velocity
at the burner nozzle must be adequately high to prevent the
danger of flashback into the combustion chamber. Burners
BIC..M are tailored to the appropriate capacity and combined
with tapered ceramic tubes (TSC..B).

A burner BIC..M in conjunction with a burner control unit
BCU..D2 is required for safe burner operation in menox® low
NOx mode.

Flame mode
In order to heat up thefurnace, the burner operates in flame
mode.
The ignitable gas/air mixture is ignited using an electrical
ignition spark and combusts inside and outside of the ce-
ramic burner tube. The presence of the flame is monitored in
compliance with EN746-2.

lower. This prevents the occurrence of peak temperatures
which are responsible for high NOxvalues. Emissions of NOx
are drastically reduced.
In menox® mode, NOx values can be reduced to below
150mg/m³ (reference value of 5% O2) even at a furnace tem-
perature of 1200°C and hot air at 450°C– without expensive
additional piping. The high output pulse frequency and rotary
impulse control ensure temperature uniformity which is of
great advantage.
For further information on burner BIC..M,
see www.docuthek.com
Gas and air are supplied through the same connections as in
flame mode. No ignition takes place in the burner tube. The
combustion process is relocated to the combustion chamber.
The oxidation reactions take place without a visible flame.

5.2 BCU..D2
The BCU coordinates the signalsfor starting the burner andthe
fail-safe monitoring of the burner in flame mode. In menox®
mode, the BCU switches off the ignition device and flame
control. The furnace chamber temperature must be monitored
by a safety temperature monitor (STM) for menox® mode. This
function must satisfy the requirements of a protective system
pursuant to EN746-2.
Parameter 06 must be set to 5 to switch to menox® low
NOx mode. The BCU..D2 must signal via terminal 49 that the
required temperature for high temperature operation has
been reached. A higher switching point of 850°C is required
for menox® mode. menox® mode is enabled via the input at
terminal 44: depending on parameter 64, the system is either
switched over immediately or the next time the burner starts
with the parameters of menox® pre-ventilation time, burner
application and settings for the control element coordinated
for menox® mode.
Parameter settings for switching between flame mode and
menox® mode, see pages63 (Burner application), 95
(menox pre-ventilation time tVLM) and 95 (Switchover to
menox® operating mode).

If there is no signal at terminal 44, the system switches from
menox® mode to flame mode.
If the enable signal for High temperature mode (HT mode)
drops out as the furnace temperature falls, the BCU automatically switches from menox® mode to flame mode. To avoid
a pressure surge in the gas supply due to several burners
being switched off at the same time, it is recommended that
the furnace control unit switches the burners to flame mode
again zone by zone, for example.
Hot air compensation and ratio control are not the responsibility of the BCU. These functions must satisfy the require-
ments of a protective system pursuant to EN 746-2 and be
implemented externally.
