4.4.5 Remote Modulation/Remote Set Point
Signals for Remote Modulation or Remote Setpoint can be provided by either an analog input signal or written
directly into the PLC by communications (Ethernet).

Remote Modulation by Analog Input
This configures the Boiler Controller
to
receive a remote 4-20mA signal on input I:2.3 to control the
firing
rate of the
boile
r
.
The signal is scaled from 0-100%, (4ma = Low Fire and 20ma = High Fire).
Remote Modulation by Analog Input Signal Selection
The user can select between HMI or digital input to enable Remote Modulation.
Select <Digital In> if another control system will enable Remote Modulation by isolated contact input signal
(120 VAC) on digital input I:5.14. When that input is de-energized, the Boiler Controller will revert back to
local firing rate control. If Remote Modulation operation will be enabled manually, select <HMI Input>.
Remote Modulation can then be enabled, by selecting the <Remote> button on the Firing Rate Screen.
If the PLC detects a bad analog signal, an alarm “Remote Modulation Signal Failure” is activated and the Firing
Rate revert to the LOCAL setting on the HMI.
