  • Page 10: Purpose

    General Information Purpose 1.3.1 Purpose Intended purpose VMS 4/VMS 5 The VMS 4 as well as VMS 5 is a control unit for combustion system. Brief description The VMS 4 adjusts up to four control elements as a function of a control variable (generally the burner firing rate) according to freely programmable curves.

  • Page 11: Purpose Internal Firing Rate Controller

    General Information The operating states are predefined in the VMS through potential-free contacts – Burner on – Control enabling – Pre-purge – Recirculation enabling – Flame signal – Fuel selection The unit is of error-proof construction. 1.3.2 Purpose Internal Firing Rate Controller This software option enables the calculating of the burner's required firing rate setting contin- uously for a specified setpoint value (referred e.g.

  • Page 12: For Your Safety

    For Your Safety For Your Safety The following symbols are used in this document to draw the user's attention to important safe- ty information. They are located at points where the information is required. It is essential that the safety information is observed and followed, and that applies particularly to the warnings. DANGER! This draws the user's attention to imminent danger.

    Operation Operation Digital Inputs Digital inputs VMS For the VMS to work in accordance with the requirements of the combustion plant, the status signal of the plant must be reported to the VMS. These are: – Burner start-up – Control release –...

  • Page 14: Range Limits

    Operation Correction is active. The controller remains in the base firing rate position until a control ena- bling signal (terminal 4) is given. Once control is released, the VMS tracks the externally ap- plied firing rate. A current signal proportional to the position of the fuel/air ratio control is emitted as internal firing rate (not on VMS 5).

  • Page 15: Flying Curve Change

    Operation Flying Curve Change If the select signal for the curve sets is changed whilst in operation, the VMS goes to fault 351. With this option, however, it allows changing from one curve set to another. The settings change abruptly. The band monitorings are replaced for a period of 30 seconds by running direction monitoring.

  • Page 16: Pre-Purge Limit

    Operation 3.13 Pre-purge Limit Normally during pre-purge each control element runs as far as it’s uppermost stop. Now, by parameters, a limit can be set for each channel that is not exceeded during pre-purge. 3.14 Energy-saving Mode for Scrolling Text Display The brightness of the display can be adjusted to the ambient light conditions by parameters.

    Firing Rate Controller (optional) 5.1.3 Control by Atmospheric Condition If the burner firing rate controller is configured as "controlled by atmospheric conditions" the setpoint value can be shifted between the parameterised setpoint minimum and setpoint max- imum by connecting another PT 100 temperature sensor. When utilising control by atmos- pheric conditions, the outside temperature is a component of setpoint calculation.

  • Page 27: Start-Up Sequence

    Firing Rate Controller (optional) 5.1.5 Start-up Sequence The firing rate controller has a startup circuit, in order to slow down the burner's start firing rate. The startup circuit is run during each new burner start. The internal firing rate is held at a value P 792 adjustable by the user, for as long as the boiler is cold (actual value is below a user- adjustable limit, P 791).

  • Page 28: Thermostat And Control Range

    Firing Rate Controller (optional) 5.1.6 Thermostat and Control Range The thermostat function switches the burner on and off on the basis of the temperature and/ or pressure value, but only when burner is released by the start signal. The control range is formed by entering the controller setpoint value and the parameters P 802 (switch-on point), P803 (upper control range) and P 804 (burner OFF).

This manual firing rate control is cancelled by pressing the Channel 2 switch (4) downwards.

  • Page 30: Control Range

    Firing Rate Controller (optional) 5.2.3 Control Range The control range lies around the setpoint. The content of the "Burner on" parameter is sub- tracted from the setpoint value to form the switch-on value. The value of the "Upper control range" parameter (P 803) is added to the setpoint value to form the upper limit of the control range.
