BCU 480 · Edition 03.16l 6
Application
The service personnel is supported by a convenient vis-
ualization system of the input and output signals and
the error history.
The new power management scheme reduces installa-
tion and wiring costs. The power for the valves and igni-
tion transformer is supplied via the power supply of the
BCU, protected by a replaceable fine-wire fuse.
The conventional wide-spread systems used in indus-
trial furnace and kiln construction require bridging of
large distances for signal processing. The optionally
available BCU..B1 for connection to the PROFIBUS DP
fieldbus is equipped for this purpose.
As a standardized fieldbus system, the PROFIBUS DP
considerably reduces development, installation and
commissioning costs compared to conventional wiring.
The use of a standard bus system offers massive ben-
efits compared to manufacturer-specific bespoke solu-
tions. Time-tested hardware components, standardized
connection methods and a series of tools of bus diag-
nostics and optimization are available on the market
from a whole range of manufacturers. The widespread
use of the system ensures that the planning and ser-
vice personnel are very familiar with how the system op-
erates and how to handle it and can therefore operate
the system efficiently.
