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-

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.

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).

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.

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 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

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.

The BCU500..C1 is fitted with an integrated valve proving
system. This allows either the tightness of the gas solenoid
valves and the pipework between them to be checked (tight-
ness test) or the closed position of a solenoid valve (proof of
closure function) to be checked.
Once the test has been carried out successfully, the burner
enable signal is issued.
For details, see pages31 (Tightness control) and38 (Proof
of closure function)
6.1 Tightness control
The aim of the tightness control is to identify an inadmissible
leak on one of the gas solenoid valves and to prevent burner
start. Gas solenoid valves V1 and V2 are tested as is the pipework between the valves.
European standards EN 746-2 and EN 676 stipulate tightness
controls for capacities over 1200kW (NFPA 86: from 117kW or
400,000 Btu/h).The tightness control function satisfies the requirements of
EN1643 (Valve proving systems for automatic shut-off valves
for gas burners and gas appliances).

6.1.1 Test instant
Depending on the parameter setting, the tightness control
checks the tightness of the pipework and the gas solenoid
valves before each start-up and/or after each shut-down of
the burner, see page96 (Valve proving system).
The gas line is always safeguarded by a gas solenoid valve
during this check.
Before burner start-up
The valve check is started when the start-up signalϑ is present
at terminal1. The BCU checks the tightness of the gas solenoid
valves and the pipework between the valves. The gas line
is always safeguarded by a gas solenoid valve during this
check. The burner is ignited when pre-purge is ended and
the tightness has been checked successfully.
After burner shut-down
After the burner has been shut down, the BCU checks the tightness of the gas solenoid valves and the pipework between
them. Once the test has been carried out successfully, the
next burner start is enabled. The BCU immediately conducts
a tightness test if mains voltage is available or if it is reset
after a fault lock-out.
An additional bypass/relief valve must be installed in gas
sections with an air/gas ratio control. This ensures that the
test volume V
can be vented during the tightness test with
p1
the air/gas ratio control closed.

6.1.3 Test period tP
Depending on the burner capacity, the tightness of the gas so-
lenoid valves must be checked in accordance with the relevant
application standard, e.g. EN676, EN746, NFPA85 and NFPA86.
The test period tP is calculated from:
– Opening times t
– Measurement times t
for V1 and V2,
L
for V1 and V2.

6.1.4 Opening time tL
Standard EN1643:2000 allows a maximum opening time of
3s for the tightness test if the main gas valves are actuated
directly. If gas can flowinto the combustion chamber when a
valve is opened, the gas volume must not exceed 0.083% of
the maximum flow rate.
6.1.5 Measurement time t
M
The sensitivity of the tightness control in the BCU can be ad-
justed for each individual system by adapting the measure-
ment timetM. The longer the measurement timetM, the greater
the sensitivity of the tightness control. The measurement time
is set using parameter 56 to a value between 3 and 3600s,

6.2 Proof of closure function
The proof of closure function monitors the function of the gas
solenoid valveV1. The proof of closure function can be activated
using parameter51=4, see page96 (Valve proving system).
A limit switch on gas solenoid valveV1 signals the closed
position of the valve to the BCU (terminal 45) for this purpose.
By checking the closed position using the proof of closure
function, the BCU complies with the requirements of NFPA85
(Boiler and Combustion Systems Hazards Code) and NFPA86
(Standard for Ovens and Furnaces).
6.2.1 Program sequence
When the start-up signalϑ is received at terminal1, the BCU
checks that valve V1 is in its closed position using the POC
switch. If a signal is not received at terminal45 from the POC
switch after a timeout time of 10s (valve V1 is closed), the BCU
performs a fault lock-out with fault messagec1.
As soon as the BCU has opened valve V1, it queries the open
position of the valve via the POC switch. If a signal is still re-
ceived at terminal45 from the POC switch after a timeout time
of 10s, the BCU performs a fault lock-out with fault messagec8.

Profinet is a manufacturer-independent, open standard for
industrial Ethernet. It covers the requirements for automation
technology (manufacturing automation, process automation,
drive applications with or without functional safety).
Profinet is a bus variant for fieldbus communication, optimized
for speed and low connection costs.
The basic function of Profinet is the exchange of process and
required data between an IO controller (e.g. PLC) and several
distributed IO devices (e.g. BCU/FCU).
The signals from the IO devices are read into the IO controller
cyclically. There, they are processed and are then output to
the IO devices again.
In addition to cyclic data exchange, Profinet also provides
acyclic data exchange for events which are not constantly
repeated such as sending parameter settings and configu-
ration data when the IO devices start up or sending a diag-
nostic message from the IO device to the IO controller during
operation. The data read or written acyclically by read/write
services are specified by an index, see page48 (Indexes
for acyclic communication).
The technical properties of an IO device are described by the
manufacturer in a device master data file (GSD file). The GSD
file contains the device image, the communications properties
and all fault messages from the IO device in text form which
are important for the configuration of the Profinet network
and the data exchange. The configuration is completed using
an engineering tool which is supplied by the manufacturer
of the IO controller. Modules defined in the GSD file may be
selected for configuration to include them in the system, see
also page42 (GSD file for PLC configuration).

8.1 BCU and bus module BCM
The optional bus module BCM 500 is required to integrate the
BCU in the Profinet system.
Control signals (for start, reset and air actuator control), signal
states from the device inputs and outputs and information
about the device status (operating states, flame signal and
current program step), warnings and faults can be transferred
via the bus module between the BCU (IO device) and PLC
(IOcontroller).
Bus module BCM 500 has two RJ45 connection sockets for
connection to the fieldbus on its front. The connection sockets
are combined with an internal 2-port switch. This allows the
BCM500 together with the BCU to be integrated in various
network topologies (star, tree or line topology). Requirements
such as Auto Negotiation and Auto Crossover are satisfied.
Safety-related signals and interlocks (e.g. safety interlock) must
be wired independently of the fieldbus communication direct
to the BCU and the protective system (e.g. FCU).
All network components which connect the automation system
and the field devices must be certified for Profinet use.
For information on planning and the structure of a Profibus
network and the components to be used (e.g. cables, lines and
switches), see Profinet Installation Guide at www.profibus.com.

8.2 GSD file for PLC configuration
Before commissioning, the Profinet system must be configured

contains the device image and communications properties of
the BCU. Modules defined in the GSD file may be selected for

Output byte (controller ➔ device)
The output byte describes the digital signals which are output
by the PLC (IO controller) to the BCU (IO device). The digital signals to control the burner control unit BCUoccupy 1byte (8bits).
Parallel to the bus communication, terminals 1 to3, 44 and
50 of the BCU can be wired. This allows the BCU to be controlled using the digital signals of the bus communication or
the inputs at the terminals.
In the event that the bus communication is faulty or interrupted
and during the initialization of the bus communication after
switching on, the digital signals are interpreted as“0”. If the
BCU is controlled using the inputs at the terminals during this
time, the normal program runs even if the bus communication
is faulty or interrupted.

Parameters
11.1 Scanning the parameters
During operation, the 7-segment display shows the program
step/status.
All the parameters of the BCU can be scanned in numerical
order by repeatedly pressing the Reset/Information button
(for 1s).
The parameter display is ended 60seconds after the last time
the button is pressed or by switching off theBCU.
The BCU indicates when the mains switch has been
switched off. The parameters cannot be scanned when the
BCU is switched off or when a fault message is displayed.
11.2 Flame control
The BCU is fitted with a flame amplifier which evaluates whether
an adequate flame signal is supplied by the burner using an
ionization electrode or UV sensor.
11.2.1 Burner 1 FS1 flame signal switch-off threshold
Parameter 01
The sensitivity at which the burner control unit detects a flame
can be set using parameter01.
In the case of UV control, this value can be increased, should
the burner to be monitored be influenced by other burners
for example.
During operation
If the measured flame signal falls below the set value (2 to
20µA) during operation after elapse of the safety time during
operation (parameter 19), the BCU performs a safety shut-down
with subsequent fault lock-out or a restart. The restart function
can be defined using parameter09, see page72 (Restart).
During start-up
If the measured flame signal falls below the set value (2 to
20µA) during the start-up after elapse of the safety time, the
BCU performs a safety shut-down with subsequent fault lock-
out or up to two further start-up attempts. The number of
start-up attempts can be defined using parameter07, see
page62 (Burner 1 start-up attempts).
BCU 560, BCU 565 · Edition 02.1658
Parameters > Flame control
11.2.2 Flame control
Parameter 04
Parameter 04 = 0: flame control is performed with an ioniza-
tion electrode.
Parameter 04 = 1: flame control is performed with a UV sen-
sor for intermittent operation (UVS). For intermittent operation,
the operating state of the complete system is limited to 24 h
pursuant to EN298. To meet the requirement for intermittent
operation, the burner is shut down and restarted automati-
cally after a continuous operating time of 24hours if it is not
operated in compliance with the standard. The restart does
not meet the requirements of EN298 for UV sensor continu-
ous operation because the required self-test (at least once
per hour) is not performed while the burner is operating. This
shut-down and subsequent restart are performed in the same
way as a normal controlled shut-down. Depending on the
parameterization, the burner is started with or without pre-
purge. This process is controlled independently by the BCU and
therefore it must be checked whether the industrial process
permits the pause in heat supply it creates.
Parameter 04 = 2: flame control is performed with a UV sensor
for continuous operation (UVD).
The reaction times of the BCU and UV sensor for continuous
operation are coordinated so that the set safety time during
operation (parameter 19) is not extended.

11.2.3 High temperature operation
Parameter 06
Operation of firing systems above 750°C. The BCU..D1 and
BCU..D2 have a fail-safe input with the function “High tempera-
ture operation”. If firing systems are operated above 750°C,
the system is considered to be an item of high temperature
equipment (see EN746-2). Here, flame control must be in op-
eration until the furnace wall temperature has exceeded 750°C.
Below 750°C, the flame is monitored by conventional means
(UV sensor or ionization electrode). In High temperature mode
(>750°C), the flame may be controlled via the temperature
using a safety temperature monitor (STM) in order to increase
the system’s availability. This means that no incorrect flame
signals, e.g. signals from a UV sensor which interprets reflected
UV radiation as extraneous signals, may lead to faults.
without evaluation of the flame signal. The safety function
of the device-internal flame control system is deactivated.
In High temperature mode, the gas valves are opened and
the burners are started as usual without monitoring the presence of a flame.
The precondition for this operating mode is that an external
flame supervision device ensures the presence of the flame
in a fail-safe manner indirectly via the temperature. For this
purpose, we recommend a safety temperature monitor with
double thermocouple (DIN 3440). The flame must be monitored again by conventional means (UV sensor or ionization
electrode) in the event of sensor discontinuity or short-circuit,
failure of the safety temperature monitor or power failure.
Only if the temperature at the furnace wall has exceeded
750°C may voltage be applied to the HT input (terminal 49)
so as to activate High temperature mode.
When the HT input is activated (terminal 49), the burner control
unit reverts to High temperature mode, i.e.: the BCU operates
BCU 560, BCU 565 · Edition 02.1660
If the temperature in the furnace chamber drops below 750°C,
the HTinput must be disconnected from the electrical power
supply and the furnace must then be operated with flame control.

The BCU then responds, depending on setting:
Parameter 06 = 0
The High temperature mode function is switched off. Flame
control takes place dependent on the setting in parameter
04 (by ionization electrode, UVS sensor or UVD sensor).
Parameter 06 = 2 (BCU..D1)
The BCU switches off the burner and restarts with flame simula-
tion check (recommended in the case of UV control with UVS).
Parameter 06 = 3 (BCU..D1)
The burner remains in operation and the BCU performs flame
control again (recommended in the case of ionization control
or UV control with UVD).
Parameter 06 = 5 (BCU..D2)
The BCU switches off the burner and restarts with the menox
pre-ventilation time t
set in parameter 28.
VLM
If no flame signal is present when High temperature mode is
deactivated, the burner control unit performs a fault lock-out,
regardless of parameter 06.

11.3 Behaviour during start-up
11.3.1 Burner 1 start-up attempts
Parameter 07
This parameter definesthemaximumnumberofpossible
start-up attempts of the burner.
Up to three start-up attempts are possible in certain condi-
tions. In accordance with EN746-2, a restart may be con-
ducted only if the safety of the installation is not impaired.
Note the requirements of the Standards!
If no flame is detected during start-up, an immediate fault
lock-out (P07=1) or up to two additional start-up attempts
(P07=2,3) are performed depending on parameter07.
Parameter 07 = 1: 1 start-up attempt.
Parameter 07 = 2, 3:2 or 3 start-up attempts.
If no flame is formed during the start-up so that at the end of
the safety timet
no flame signal is detected, the BCU closes
SA1
the gas valves and repeats the start-up. Each start-up attempt
begins with the parameterized start-up behaviour.
If the safety timet
elapses without a flame signal having
SA1
been detected, even after the last parameterized start-up
attempt, this will result in a BCU safety shut-down with subsequent fault lock-out. The fault message 04 will flash in the
BCU display depending on the burner operating mode.
If no flame is formed during the start-up so that at the end of
the safety time t
no flame signal is detected, this will result
SA1
in a BCU safety shut-down with subsequent fault lock-out. The
fault message 04 will flash in the BCU display depending on
the burner operating mode.

11.3.2 Burner application
Parameter 78
This parameter enables the BCU to be adjusted to various
burner applications. In addition, an optional pilot gas valve
(V3) can be parameterized via which the burner is started with
a defined ignition capacity.
Parameter 78 = 0: Burner 1. Two valves (V1,V2) are included for
the burner. These are connected to the valve outputs (terminals
13 and14). Valves V1 and V2 are opened in parallel to start
the burner in order to release the gas supply to the burner.

11.4 Behaviour during operation
Parameter 09 = 1: burner 1. The restart function is active.
11.4.1 Restart
Parameter 09
This parameter determines whether the BCU initiates an im-
mediate safety shut-down with fault lock-out or an automatic
restart after a flame failureduringoperation.Excessive restarts
(max.5) can also be detected.
In accordance with EN746-2, a restart may be conducted
only if the safety of the installation is not impaired. A restart is
recommended for burners which occasionally display unstable
behaviour during operation.
The precondition for an automatic restart is that the burner
can restart (as intended in all operating phases). In this case,
it must be ensured that the program sequence started by the
BCU matches the application.
Parameter 09 = 0: Off.
If a flame failure occurs during operation (minimum operating
time of 2s), the valves are closed and the operation signalling
contact is opened within the safety time during operationtSB.
The burner control unitthen attempts to restart the burner
once. If the burner does not function, a safety shut-down with
fault lock-out occurs. The display blinks and shows the fault
message.
Parameter 09 = 4: max. 5× for burner 1 in 15min. The restart
function is active and is also monitored. In certain conditions,
it is possible that the restart function is repeated continuously without a safety shut-down with subsequent fault lockout being performed. The BCU has a safety shut-down with
subsequent fault lock-out option if more than 5restarts are

Taking into account national standards and requirements,
it must be clarified whether the option may be used.
Parameters > Behaviour during operation
11.4.2 Minimum operating time tB
Parameter 61
A minimum operating time (0 to 250s) may be defined to
ensure that the heating equipment operates stably.
If the minimum operating time is active, burner operation
will be maintained until the set time has elapsed even if the
start-up signal fails.
The minimum operating time starts as soon as the program
step for operation/controller enable (display04) has been
reached.
If the start-up signal drops out before the start of operation/
controller enable, e.g. during pre-purge, the burner control
unit reverts directly to the start-up position (standby) and the
burner is not ignited.
The minimum operating time can be cancelled by switching
off the BCU or if a safety shut-down occurs.

Parameters 15, 16 and19 can be used to adjust the safety limits
(low air pressure protection and safety time during operation)
to the system requirements.
11.5.1 Low air pressure protection
Parameter 15
The minimum air pressure is ensured using the air
pressure switch connected to terminal47 while the fan for
the combustion air is switched on. Activation of the low air
pressure protection device and the shut-down properties
can be set using parameter15. If the air pressure falls below
the value set on the air
air pressure switch, the signal to
min.
terminal47 is interrupted and the BCU initiates a reaction
depending on parameter15.
When the fan is switched off, the “no flow” state (default posi-
tion) of the air pressure switch (PDZ) is checked. To bypass
switching off the fan, the air supply to the pressure switch
can be interrupted by a 2/3-way valve. The 2/3-way valve is
actuated by terminal58.

is deactivated.

purge, see page76 (Air flow monitoring during pre-purge).
11.5.2 Air pressure cut-out delay
Parameter 16
This parameter defines whether the gas enable is sent to
terminal 47 with or without an air pressure switch signal. The
parameter can be adjusted if the low air pressure protection
is active (parameter 15 = 1 or 2).
Parameter 16 = 0: Off. Air pressure monitoring takes place
immediately. The gas is only released when the signal is received from the air pressure switch. Parameter 48 (Air actuator
control) must be set to 1 for this function (air with 1st gas stage).
Parameter 16 = 1: On. The air pressure is monitored after a
delay of up to the maximum running time set in parameter
42 or until the position for maximum capacity is confirmed
by the actuator.
BCU 560, BCU 565 · Edition 02.1674
Parameters > Safety limits
11.5.3 Safety time during operation
Parameter 19
Parameter 19 = 1; 2: time in seconds
The safety time during operation is the time that the BCU needs
to stop the fuel supply after a flame failure during operation or
an interruption at the safety current inputs (terminals 45 to51
and 65 to68). The safety time can be set to 1 or 2s. Prolong-
ing the safety time during operation increases the installation
availability in the case of brief-duration signal fades (e.g. fades
of the flame signal).
In accordance with EN298, the maximum reaction time to a
flame failure must not exceed 1s. In accordance with EN746-2,
the safety time of the installation during operation (total closing
time) may not exceed 3s.
The requirements of national standards and regulations must
be satisfied.

11.6.1 Pre-purge time tPV
Parameter 34
A burner start may only occur if it has been ensured that the
concentration of inflammable components in all sections of the
combustion chamber and the connected areas and the flue
gas ducts is less than 25% of the lower flammability limit of the
fuel gas. In general, a pre-purge is performed by the protective
system (FCU) to ensure compliance with these requirements.
Parameter 34 determines the time for which pre-purge is to
occur after a safety shut-down (0 to 6000 s).
With this function, the combustion chamber of the burner can
be purged after a safety shut-down in compliance with stand-
ards (on the basis of EN676, EN746-2, NFPA85 or NFPA86,
for example), especially on radiant tube burners. This task is
not implemented by the central protective system but by the
BCU565.
If air monitoring has been activated in parameter 15 or35, the
pre-purge timetPV starts as soon as the air monitor detects
an adequate flow for purging, see page74 (Low air pres-
sure protection).
11.6.2 Air flow monitoring during pre-purge
Parameter 35Function of the air flow input (terminal 48)
The air flow is monitored during pre-purge by the differential
pressure switch connected to terminal48. If the air volume
and therefore the differential pressure on the air pressure
switch falls below the set value, the BCU will perform a safety
shut-down or fault lock-out.
When the air actuator is switched off, the“no flow” state (default
position) of the differential pressure switch is also checked if
air flow monitoring has been activated. Activation of air flow
monitoring and the shut-down properties can be set using
parameter35.
Parameter 35 = 0: Off; the air flow monitoring function is deactivated.
Parameter 35 = 1: with safety shut-down. If there is no signal at
the input (terminal48), a safety shut-down will be performed.
Parameter 35 = 2: with fault lock-out. If there is no signal at
the input (terminal48), a safety shut-down with subsequent
fault lock-out will be performed.
Air flow monitoring is to be set on the basis of the relevant ap-
plication standard (e.g. EN676, EN746-2, NFPA85 or NFPA86).

11.6.5 Capacity control
Parameter 40
The BCU is fitted with an interface for connecting air actuators.
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.
The BCU..F3 activates an air valve for purging, cooling or start-
ing the burner via theoutput at terminal 10. The required air
capacity is released by the air valve.
Using parameter 40, you can set which actuator is used for
capacity control (actuators IC20, IC40, RBW or air valve).
Parameter 40 = 0: Off; no capacity control (no air actuator).
Parameter 40 = 1: with IC20.
The interface is configured to the requirements of actuators
IC20, IC20..E, IC50 or IC50..E.
Alternatively, comparable three-point step actuators may be
used.
IC20
The positions for maximum capacity, ignition capacity
and minimum capacity can be set using the actuator. It is
checked whether the relevant position has been reached
using terminal52. If the position is not reached within the
timeout time of 255s, the BCU will display fault message A ,
A or A (maximum, ignition or minimum capacity not reached),
see page50 (Fault signalling).

In the event of a fault, the actuator is moved to the position set
via camS4 for minimum capacity via the output at terminal54.
The control system isenabled for operation via the control-
ler enable output (terminal56). During the controller enable
procedure, the actuator can be adjusted infinitely between the
positions for maximum and minimum capacity by an external
three-point step controller or using bus signals. There is no
timeout active in this case.
If bus control is active (parameter75), the controller enable out-
put (terminal56) has a different function. The wiring between
the BCU and the 3-point step controller can be adjusted so
that the control range of the actuator is between the positions
for maximum and ignition capacity.
The minimum position which can be reached is the closed
position.
Manual mode
In Manual mode, the actuator can be moved between the
positions for maximum and minimum capacity in 3-point step
operation. No timeout is active when approaching these positions. The controller enable output (terminal56) is not active
and not checked.

The positions for minimum capacity, maximum capacity and
ignition capacity can be set using the actuator. When the
appropriate position has been reached, this information is
signalled back via terminal52. If no signal is received that the
position has been reached within the timeout time of 255s,
a safety shut-down of the BCU will be performed and a fault
message (A , A or A) will be displayed, see page50 (Fault
signalling). In addition, the actuator will be moved to the set
position for minimum capacity using the output at terminal54.
The control system is enabled during operation via the control-
ler enable output (terminal56). During the controller enable
procedure, the actuator can be adjusted infinitely between the
positions for maximum and minimum capacity by a controller
(0(4)–20mA, 0–10 V) using the setpoint device on terminals 17
and18 or the bus signal. There is no timeout active in this case.
If bus control is active (parameter75), the controller enable
output (terminal56) has a different function.

Fault
In the event of a fault, there will be no signal at terminals
53 and55 so that the actuator moves to the closed position.
When approaching the closed position, no timeout of 255s
is active since no feedback input is checked. This may result
in a situation where the program is continued in the case of
a request for the closed position, without the butterfly valve
being closed. The outputs at terminals56 (controller enable)
and54 (closed position) on the BCU are non-functional and
are not activated.
Manual mode
In Manual mode, no external controller is enabled. The actuator can be moved to the positions for maximum capacity or
ignition capacity by the user. 3-point step operation is not possible. No timeout is active when approaching these positions.

RBW
Parameter 40 = 3: with RBW.
The actuator can be moved to the positions for maximum ca-
pacity (contact COM to HI) and minimum capacity (contact COM
to LO) using the interface and by closing the various contacts.
The RBW actuator reports that it has reached the position for
maximum capacity via a signal to terminal51. The actuator
reports that it has reached the position for minimum capacity via a signal to terminal52. The simultaneous activation
of terminals 51 and52 results in a fault lock-out of theBCU.
If parameter 41 = 0, the system monitors the movement to
the positions for maximum and minimum capacity with a
timeout time of 255s. Reaching the relevant position immediately triggers the program continue switch conditions. If
reaching the position is not signalled within the timeout time
of 255s, a safety shut-down of the BCU will be performed.
Afaultmessage (AorA)willbedisplayed, see page50
(Fault signalling).
If parameter 41 = 1, the system does not monitor whether the
positions for minimum and maximum capacity are reached. In
this case, a running time of up to 250s must be defined using
parameter42, see page85 (Running time). The program
continue switch conditions are then controlled dependent on
this time.
If a fault occurs, the actuator is moved to the position for minimum capacity.
Manual mode
In Manual mode, no external controller is enabled during the
controller enable procedure. The actuator can be moved to
the positions for maximum capacity or ignition capacity by
the user. 3-point step operation is not possible. No timeout is
active when approaching these positions.

Parameter 42 (Running time) can be used to adjust the behav-
iour of slow opening and closing air valves so that the system
can be set to ignition position before a start-up is initiated,
see page85 (Running time). Parameter 41 (Running time

Parameter 41
Parameter 41 = 0: Off; checking the positions for minimum/
maximum capacity. A signal that the positions for minimum
and maximum capacity have been reached is returned and
monitored with a timeout time of max. 255s. When the position
has been reached, theBCU will initiate the next program step.
Parameter 41 = 1: On; for approaching the positions for mini-
mum/maximum capacity. The running time set using pa-
rameter42 is activated for approaching these positions, see
page85 (Running time). After this time has elapsed, the
BCU will initiate the next program step.
Parameter 41 = 2: On; for approaching the position for maxi-
mum capacity. The running time set using parameter42 is
activated for approaching the position for maximum capacity,
see page85 (Running time). After this time has elapsed,
the BCU will initiate the next program step. Approaching the
position for minimum capacity is signalled and monitored.
Parameter 41 = 3: On; for approaching the position for mini-
mum capacity. No signal is returned that the position for mini-
mum capacity has been reached. The running time set using
parameter42 is activated for approaching the position for
minimum capacity, see page85 (Running time). After this
time has elapsed, the BCU will initiate the next program step.
Approaching the position for maximum capacity is signalled
and monitored.
11.6.7 Running time
Parameter 42
This parameter can be used to adjust the behaviour of slow
opening and closing air valves. The running time starts when
the air actuator is switched off. A restart of the burner after a
controlled shut-down, a start-up attempt, restart, cooling or
purging is delayed until the end of the running time. After the
running time has elapsed, the burner is started if the start-up
signal (ϑ) is applied.
The time should be adjusted such that the system can be set
to ignition position, i.e. that the air actuator is closed before
a start-up is initiated.

Parameter 43 = 0: Off. No low fire over-run is performed. The
gas circuit is closed immediately owing to a quick closing gas
valve in the case of On/Off control. The air circuit is closed
more slowly. The air flowing in during this time increases the
O2 content in the combustion chamber.
Parameter 43 = 1 (only for BCU..F1/F2): up to minimum capacity.
The burner is not immediately switched off after the start-up
signal ϑ (terminal1) has been removed. During low fire over-
run, the control element is moved to the position for minimum
capacity and the gas valves remain open until the flame fails
or the position for minimum capacity is reached. If the flame
is extinguished, this does not result in a fault.
Parameter 43 = 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30 or 40 (only for FCU..F3):

st
stage
Parameter 48
In cyclic operation, parameters 48 and 49 on BCU..F1, F2 and F3
determine the behaviour of the air actuator during burner start.
Parameter 48 = 0: opens on external activation.
Parameter 48 = 2: opens with valve V2 2nd stage
This setting together with parameter 49 = 0, see page89
(Air actuator can be activated externally on start-up), is re-
quired for burners on which the air/gas ratio is controlled by
a pneumatic air/gas ratio control system and which need to
be started at low-fire rate, e.g. on two-stage-controlled burn-
ers, see page8 (Two-stage-controlled burner). In this case,
activation of the air actuator during burner start via the input
at terminal 2 must be prevented.
External control allows switchover between low fire and high
fire during operation.
BCU 560, BCU 565 · Edition 02.1687
The air actuator can be activated externally via the input at ter-
minal 2 for cooling the burner in the start-up position (standby).
This function is not available during burner start-up and during
operation.
Parameters > Air control > Air actuator control
Parameter 48 = 3: Controller enable following operating signal
or in standby. This parameter is used to activate modulating
capacity control on BCU..F1 and F2. The controller enable signal
is issued via the output at terminal 56 in the start-up position
(standby) and during operation.
Cooling is then only possible in the start-up position/standby.
The air actuator can be opened via the input at terminal 2 for
this purpose.

11.6.13 Capacity control (bus)
Parameter 75
Controlling the burner capacity using the fieldbus is only pos-
sible with bus module BCM500 connected and enabled (P80=
1 or2).
The output at terminal 56 has a different function.
Parameter 75 = 0: Off. No capacity control possible using
the fieldbus.
Parameter 75 = 1: MIN. to MAX. capacity; standby in position
for MIN. capacity. The control range while the burner is oper-
ating is between the positions for minimum capacity(S4) and
maximum capacity(S3). The burner is ignited in the position
for ignition capacity(S1). When the burner is switched off, the
actuator is moved to the position for minimum capacity(S4).
This operating mode can be achieved with an actuator IC20,
RBW or alternatively with a comparable three-point step ac-
tuator.
If the air supply is stopped on a heated furnace with the
burner switched off, the controls may be damaged by the
hot furnace atmosphere as a result of the lowest possible
position of the butterfly valve, limited byS4.

Parameter 75 = 3: IGNITION to MAX. capacity; standby in
CLOSED position.
The control range while the burner is operating is between the
positions for minimum capacity(S1) and maximum capacity(S3).
The burner is ignited in the position for minimum capacity(S1).
When the burner is switched off, the actuator is moved to the
closed position(S4).
This operating mode can be achieved with an actuator IC20,
RBW or alternatively with a comparable three-point step ac-
tuator.
If the air supply is stopped on a heated furnace with the
burner switched off, the controls are protected from the
hot furnace atmosphere as a result of the butterfly valve
being in the closed position (limited byS4). Check whether
the burner can cope without cooling in this situation.

Parameter 75 = 4: MIN. to MAX. capacity; standby in position
for MIN. capacity; burner quick start.
The control range while the burner is operating is between
the positions for minimum capacity(S4) and maximum capac-
ity(S3). The burner is ignited in the position for ignition capac-
ity(S1). Switching cam S2 (reverse direction of rotation) ensures
that the position for ignition capacity is approached without
pre-purging first (quick start). When the burner is switched off,
the actuator is moved totheposition forminimumcapacity(S4).
This operating mode can be achieved with an actuator IC20
or alternatively with a comparable three-point step actuator.
If the air supply is stopped on a heated furnace with the
burner switched off, the controls may be damaged by the
hot furnace atmosphere as a result of the lowest possible
position of the butterfly valve, limited byS4. If pre-purge is
active, considerably lower air capacity than the maximum
air capacity will be used for purging.

After the start-up signal (ϑ) has been appliedand the “no
flow” state check has been conducted successfully, the air
valve is opened. Start-up of the burner commences with no
interruption of the air supply after expiry of the programmable
pre-ventilation time t
VLM
.
Parameter setting for this example sequence:
P06 = 5; P16 = 0, see also page74 (Air pressure cut-out
delay). The gas valve does not open until the pressure switch
has switched.
If the menox® pre-ventilation time t
(P28) > the running

11.8 Valve check
11.8.1 Valve proving system
Parameter 51
Parameter 51 is used to define whether and at what time in
the BCU program sequence the valve check is activated. This
allows either the tightness of the gas solenoid valves and the
pipework between them to be checked (tightness test) or the
closed position of a solenoid valve (proof of closure function)
to be checked. If the proof of closure function is activated, the
closed position of the gas solenoid valve at the inlet side is
checked using a POC switch.
Parameter 51 = 0: Off. No valve check is activated.
Parameter 51 = 1: tightness test before start-up.
Parameter 51 = 2: tightness test after shut-down. With this
setting, a tightness test is also performed after a fault is reset
and after mains on.
Parameter 51 = 3: tightness test before start-up and after
shut-down.
An additional bypass valve must be installed in gas sections
with an air/gas ratio control. This valve allows the closed
air/gas ratio control to be bypassed during the tightness test.
Parameter 51 = 4: proof of closure function (POC).
A signal is sent to the BCU via the POC switch on the gas
solenoid valve on the inlet side before burner start-up stating
that the valve is closed. After burner start-up, the signal must
drop out to indicate to the BCU that the valve is open.
11.8.2 Relief valve (VPS)
Parameter 52A valve connected to terminal 14 or15 can be selected to act
as a relief valve during a tightness test.
Parameter 52 = 2: V2. The valve on terminal14 acts as the
relief valve.
Parameter 52 = 3: V3. The valve on terminal15 acts as the
relief valve.

11.8.3 Measurement time Vp1
Parameter 56
The required measurement time must be determined ac-
cording to the requirements of the appropriate application
standards, e.g. EN1643.
The required measurement time for the tightness test of Vp1
can be set using parameter56. The possible settings are 3s,
5 to 25s (in 5s steps) or 30 to 3600s (in 10s steps).
See also page35 (Measurement time t
).

11.8.4 Valve opening time t
L1
Parameter 59
This parameter is used to define theopening time for the
valves (2 to 25s) which are opened to fill or discharge the test
volume between the gas valves. If the preset opening timetL
= 2s is inadequate (e.g. if slow opening valves are used) to
fill the test volume or reduce the pressure between the valves,
bypass valves can be used instead of the main valves.
On condition that the gas volume which flows into the combustion chamber is no larger than 0.083% of the maximum flow
rate, the opening time of the bypass valves may be longer
than the 3s permitted by the standard (EN1643:2000).

11.9 Behaviour during start-up
11.9.1 Minimum pause time tBP
Parameter 62
A minimum pause time tBP (0 to 3600 s) can be defined to
achieve stable operation of the burners. If the post-ventilation
time set using parameter39 has elapsed and no signal (ϑ) is
received at terminal1 (burner shut down), a restart and cooling
are prevented for the duration of the minimum pause time tBP.
If a signal is applied to terminal 1 (burner start-up) or terminal 2
(cooling) during the minimum pause time, status displayDelay

Parameters
11.10 Manual mode
If the Reset/Information button is pressed for 2s during switch-
on, the BCU reverts to Manual mode. Two dots blink on the
display. The BCU is now operating in Manual mode inde-
pendently of the status of the inputs of the start-up signal
(terminal1), controlled air flow (terminal2) and remote reset
(terminal3). The functions of the safety-relevant inputs such as
controller enable/emergency stop (terminal46) are retained.
The manual start-up of the BCU can be started in Manual
mode by pressing the Reset/Information button. Each time
the button is pressed again, the BCU moves to the next step
of the program sequence and stops there, for example for
adjusting an actuator or the gas/air mixture.
Actuator IC20, IC 40 and RBW
04
Following controller enable (status display
actuator can be opened and closed as required. By holding the
button, the actuator is first opened further. The BCU indicates
A
with blinking dots. Once the button has been released,
the actuator stops in the relevant position. Pressing it again
will result in closing the actuator to the position for minimum
capacity. The BCU indicates A with blinking dots. A change
of direction takes place each time the button is released and
pressed again. When the actuator has reached its final posi-
tion, the dots disappear.

11.10.1 Operating time in Manual mode
Parameter 67Parameter 67 determines when Manual mode is terminated.
Parameter 67 = 0: Manual mode is not limited in time.
If this function has been selected, operation of the burner may
be continued manually in the event of failure of the control
system or the bus activation.
Parameter 67 = 1: the BCU will terminate Manual mode 5minutes after the last time the button is pressed. It then moves
abruptly back to the start-up position (standby).
If the unit is switched off or a power failure occurs, Manual
mode on the BCU will be terminatedregardless of parameter67.

Parameters
11.11 Functions of terminals 50, 51, 65, 66, 67 and
68
The BCU is informed via terminal 50 by a separate automation
system that purging is currently being performed.
Terminals 51, 65, 66, 67 and 68 can each be assigned a logi-
cal AND gating with one of the inputs for the safety functions
(terminals 46–50) using an appropriate parameter. If AND
gating is required, the input concerned can be enabled.
Terminal51 can also be used as a feedback input for the
maximum capacity position when operated with IC40/RBW.
11.11.1 Function of terminal 50
Parameter 68
The BCU..F1, F2 or F3 supports centrally-controlled pre-purge
or post-purge. In the case of multiple burner applications,
burners with mechanical combustion air supply are used.
The air for combustion and pre-ventilation is supplied by a
central fan controlled by a separate automation system. The
automation system sends a signal to terminal 50 during purg-
ing. At this point, the BCU opens the air actuator (actuator, air
valve) regardless of the status of the other inputs. The display
