Limits of Responsability This manual covers the procedures for the Installation, Operation and Maintenance of the PLC unit for the control of indirect Steam Generator Systems. This manual is intended to be as complete and up to date as possible. SPIRAX SARCO reserves the right to update it at any time and without obligation to notify product owners of such changes.

All procedures for the connections of main power supplies have to be performed by trained and qualified electrical personnel. The PLC unit for the control of SPIRAX SARCO Steam Generators are designed to be installed in covered locations, unless otherwise specified by the customer.
Control Unit Description The control and safety unit is a PLC type intelligent equipment designed to start-up, control and operate indirect steam generation systems, either in local mode or by ultimate means of a remote system. 3.635.5275.253...

Control Features The PLC based unit is designed to provide control of Pressure, Water Level, Discharge and operation of Blow-down function and of all Alarm limits of SPIRAX SARCO indirect steam generators. The control unit is equipped with a video interface displaying screens with graphics of the generator and also selective parts, e.g.
External Connections All electrical connections have to be carried out by trained and qualified installation electricians. It is impor- tant to verify that the main power switch is in “OFF” position before connecting the line voltage. The installer has to route the power cables, reach the terminals located on the main power switch mounted on the panel and run the ground wire to the earth ground terminal.
Display and Keyboard Nine keys are located on the lower part of the panel just below the display. Alarm Led Run Led Graphic Display START RESET STOP Screen 2 3.635.5275.253...
Initial Screen Powering the unit the display will show this screen: Screen 3 Pressing the key Screen 4 will be displayed. Screen 4 Note: in this image is shown the firmware installed 3.635.5275.253...

Pressing again the key the Screen 4 will be displayed where in sequence it is possible to select one out of four operation modes (Manual – Automatic – Historical alarms – Parameters). Press the and ^ keys to move down and up for selection of the desired operation mode. Press then the OK key to confirm and store the choice and enter the selected mode.
"Manual" Mode Manual operation mode: general considerations Upon selection of the manual operation mode and by pressing ^ and keys, it is possible to scroll and access into subsequent pages in order to insert other functions, simultaneously maintaining in operating condition the previously selected functions.
Manual set-up of feed water The level transmitter fitted into the equipment has an employment field defined with the specification of each steam generator. It is essential that the employment field of the transmitter is the same of the one setted to the controller. There are different control typologies: 1) ON-OFF operation level (Sensilevel) and ON-OFF feedwater valve Select the next screen by setting the “automatic-manual”...
Page 19
2) ON-OFF operation level (Sensilevel) and water pump Select the next screen by setting the “automatic-manual” key in “manual” position: Screen 8 Press the + (ON) key to activate the pump and the – (OFF) key to stop it. During the manual operation the functioning level is displayed when achieved, but it doesn’t control the stop of the pump.
Page 20
5) Continuous operating level (4-20 Ma) and modulating water control valve Select the next screen by setting the “automatic-manual” key in “manual” position: Screen 9 To activate the valve opening push the button + (ON), and press – (OFF) to shutoff it. Repeatedly pushing the + button it is possible to choke the valve opening (in %) to obtain the continuative level control also in manual mode.
Manual control of the Pressure The supplied pressure transmitter has a working range defined by the specifications of each generator. Normal ranges are 0 - 3, or 0 – 10 bar. It is important that the working range of the transmitter matches that programmed in the control unit.
Page 22
Select Screen 10 with ^ and keys. Press (+) (-) keys to increase or decrease the pressure of the generated steam. The display will indicate the opening value of the valve in % and the steam pressure value in bar. When the required value of the position exceeds the limit of “0”, the on-off solenoid valve of the primary steam will be open.
Manual control of the Bottom Blowdown Valve For manual control of the bottom blowdown valve proceed with the following steps: Turn the “cycle” selector into position (manual control) and select Screen 14 (bottom blowdown control). If the selector is turned in position (Automatic control) an alarm status is obtained as displayed on Screen 15. In these situations switch the selector in position to reach the condition displayed on Screen 7.
Page 24
After a command to open or close the valve, the achievement of the travel limit is verified. If after few seconds the intervention of the travel limit does not occur (the valve has not reached the open or closed position after the correspondent command) the general alarm is generated (Screen 16) and its associated lamp will light up.

(BC3150) installed inside the cabinet. In this case the value of the water conductivity is indicated on the PLC display. Two modes are provided: NORMAL mode during normal operation and ALARM mode when a condition of maximum TDS is verified (Screen 17).
"Automatic" Mode After a Start-up or after a Manual Mode press the key and access Screen 18 where in sequence one out of four operation modes can be selected. Press the and ^ keys to move down or up and select the Automatic Mode. Press then the OK key to confirm and store the choice and enter the selected mode.

Pressing now the key Screens 19,20,21 and 22 are accessed in sequence. Pressing instead the ^ key the reverse selection is obtained. These four screens are used for local programming of set point values. Screen 19 Screen 20 Screen 21 Screen 22 3.635.5275.253...
Pressure Control Setting of the desired value (Set-Point) The supplied pressure transmitter has a working range defined by the specifications of each generator. Normal ranges are 0 - 3, or 0 – 10 bar. It is important that the working range of the transmitter matches that programmed in the control unit.
Level Setup Push key to enter the screen shown in screen 20 Definition of the required value (set point). Depending on the actual level, there are different control typologies: 1) ON-OFF level with ON-OFF Control valve No level to be set. 2) ON-OFF level with ON-OFF Control pump No level to be set.
Set-up of the bottom blowdown period In “automatic” mode, press the key to enter the screen shown on Screen 22. Press key to set the interval duration (seconds) until the screen displays the blowdown time required value. The interval is selectable from 3 to 60 seconds with one-second increments. Press ^ and keys to enter the required value.
General considerations in Automatic Operation During automatic operation if the STOP key is pressed the cycle is interrupted. All active outputs are cleared and RUN Led is switched off. Set point values are however stored in memory. With the STOP action Screen 24 will be displayed to allow the selection of different operation modes.
Alarms and Blocks As described in the manual operation mode all the block alarms are active during the automatic cycle. In detail they are: - Block of the feed water control when one of the following alarms occurs: • stoppage of water pump •...
