DESCRIPTION
The Fireye PPC6000 is a state of the art stand-alone parallel positioning system for all types of
liquid or gaseous fuel fired combustion systems. When combined with a Fireye flame safeguard
system such as the Fireye BurnerLogix control, the PPC6000 offers the most compact and
advanced parallel positioning system available. Four fuel profiles allow the PPC6000 to
accommodate a variety of applications such as two fuels, with and without, the optional variable
speed drive (VSD). With each profile having up to 24 points entered to assure a smooth "curve",
the microprocessor interpolates points between entered values and precisely positions fuel and
air to within +- .1 degree. This eliminates hysteresis for improved efficiency. The PPC6000 is
capable of powering up to ten 24volt servomotors supplied from the integral transformer. All
servomotors and displays operate on a secure CANbus communications protocol and can be
"daisy chained" together for simplified wiring. Two independent PID control loops for
temperature or pressure control provide precise, accurate control of firing rate for unmatched
response to load changes. Four safety rated user definable digital inputs are standard and can
be configured for functions such as lead lag, night setback, thermal shock warm up, etc. Digital
inputs can also be configured as analog inputs via the optional programmable function blocks
using Fireye Abacus software. Built in lead lag sequencing for up to four boilers is included in
every PPC6000. More elaborate lead lag schemes may be possible using the programmable
function blocks.
Two variations of multifunction displays are available:
NXTSD104 10.4" Color Touchscreen display with Ethernet, Modbus TCPIP, 4
programmable relays and backup.
NX610 display provides automatic storage of operating parameters and profiles for
upload/download to the PPC6000. In addition, three line voltage fully programmable relays
are mounted inside the display.

  • Page 1 CONTROLLER DESCRIPTION The Fireye PPC6000 is a state of the art stand-alone parallel positioning system for all types of liquid or gaseous fuel fired combustion systems. When combined with a Fireye flame safeguard system such as the Fireye BurnerLogix control, the PPC6000 offers the most compact and advanced parallel positioning system available.
  • Page 2 Other options include, two Variable speed drive (VSD) outputs via daughter board, Oxygen Trim using Fireye’s proven heated zirconia oxide probe and optional interface, a wide variety of communications platforms such as Modbus is also available. An optional internal freely programmable logic section of the PPC6000 means that external PLC’s and expensive stand-alone sequencing controls may no longer be needed.

The external ‘burner controller’ provides burner management functions such as flame / air pressure monitoring and it also controls the fuel shut-off valves and combustion air fan. The start-up and shutdown sequence is handled by a progression of stages, each requiring a certain set of conditions to move on to the next one.

The values for the PID’s are found at option parameters 21.2, 21.3 and 21.4 for setpoint 1 (PID1), and 22.2, 22.3 and 22.4 for setpoint 2 (PID2). These values are adjustable using the Site Passcode 154. 9.7.11 The startup / shutdown stages are as follows: Stage Stage name...

  • Page 186 Stage Stage name Description Ignition The controller confirms all required drives are at their ignition positions, and gives an ‘ignition proved’ signal by supplying line voltage to terminal PE7 (low-fire-switch). The controller will hold the drives at their respective ignition positions until the signal to modulate is received from the burner controller.

  • Page 191 1.3.5. Entering Parameters Some function blocks require parameters to be entered to work. The sloped top-left corner can easily identify these blocks. The digital input and output blocks on the previous page are examples of this. Double click one of the digital input blocks on the left hand side of the schematic. The parameters window should now open and show the two parameters to be entered.

There is nothing wrong, the program is the same, however, the appearance is unclear. If you grab and drag the line handles in this case, you will not be able to improve the appearance. It is here that you need to use the line style buttons on the schematic toolbar.
