Overview

The Honeywell SLATE™ Fuel Air Ratio Module (R8001C6001) is an advanced control device designed for power burner applications, integrating configurable safety and programmable logic within a single platform. This module is engineered to manage the intricate relationship between fuel, airflow, and flue gas recirculation, ensuring efficient and safe combustion. Its flexible design allows for extensive customization to meet diverse application requirements, offering virtually limitless development opportunities with reduced complexity.

Function Description

At its core, the R8001C6001 module serves as a sophisticated fuel-air ratio controller. It is capable of managing up to four SLATE actuators and/or two Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). The module communicates with these actuators via RS-485 Modbus, enabling precise control and receiving critical feedback to maintain optimal combustion conditions. This integrated approach ensures that the fuel-air mixture is consistently balanced, which is crucial for both operational efficiency and environmental compliance.

The module supports a range of SLATE actuator torque sizes, including 50 in/lb (NEMA 1 and NEMA 4), 150 in/lb (NEMA 1 and NEMA 4), 300 in/lb (NEMA 4), and 900 in/lb (NEMA 4), accommodating various burner sizes and types. Its control capabilities extend to up to 24 points, allowing for fine-tuned adjustments across the burner's operating range.

Key functions include:

  • Air-fuel ratio control: Precise management of the air-fuel mixture for up to four actuators.
  • Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control: Direct control over two VFDs, which can be used to regulate fan speed for airflow or other variable speed applications.
  • Flue Gas Recirculation (FGR): Integration of FGR control to reduce NOx emissions and improve efficiency.
  • Trim function: Allows for minor adjustments to the fuel-air ratio to optimize combustion based on real-time conditions.
  • Dual Fuel capability: Supports systems that can operate on two different types of fuel, providing flexibility in fuel selection.

Usage Features

The R8001C6001 module is designed for ease of use and robust operation in commercial and industrial environments. It incorporates several features that enhance its usability and reliability:

  • Field configurable: The module can be configured in the field to adapt to specific burner characteristics and operational requirements, eliminating the need for factory reprogramming for many applications.
  • Automated actuator endpoint seeking process: Simplifies setup by automatically identifying and setting the limits for connected actuators, reducing manual calibration efforts.
  • Password protected: Enhances security by preventing unauthorized access to critical settings and configurations.
  • Fault information: Provides detailed fault codes and status indicators to help diagnose and troubleshoot issues quickly, minimizing downtime.
  • Status of four actuator channels: Offers real-time visibility into the operational status of each connected actuator, allowing operators to monitor performance at a glance.
  • Unused VFD terminals (Analog Cells): These terminals can be configured for general-purpose I/O, expanding the module's utility beyond its primary function and allowing for integration with other system components.
  • LED Array: The front panel features an LED array with three indicators (Power, CPU, Fault) that provide quick identification of the system status and any potential problems.
    • Power LED: Indicates whether the system has power (Green) or lacks power (No light).
    • CPU LED: Shows if the CPU is running (Green) or if there's no valid configuration (Red).
    • Fault LED: Indicates a fault condition (Red) or no fault (No light).
  • LED Displays: The module also includes three-character LED displays that show the module number within the SLATE system. Additionally, three-position LED colors indicate terminal states: Green for ON/Normal, Red for Fault, and No light for OFF/Not in use.
  • Select and Reset Buttons: Located on the front of the module, these buttons facilitate interaction with the device. The Reset button is used to clear a lockout condition and reset the module, while the Select button allows users to scroll through the segment display information, providing access to various operational parameters and diagnostic data.

Maintenance Features

The R8001C6001 module is built with features that contribute to its long-term reliability and ease of maintenance:

  • Class C operating software system: Adheres to high standards for software integrity, reducing the likelihood of software-related failures.
  • Fail-safe feedback: Designed with mechanisms to ensure safe operation even in the event of component failures, providing an added layer of protection.
  • Curve verification algorithms: Continuously monitors and verifies the control curves to ensure accurate and consistent performance over time.
  • Built-in self-test: Performs internal diagnostics to check the health of the module, helping to identify potential issues before they lead to operational problems.
  • No slope constraints: Allows for flexible control curve design without limitations on steepness, which can be beneficial for optimizing performance across various operating points.
  • Component anti-swap protection: Prevents incorrect module installation or swapping, reducing the risk of damage or misconfiguration.
  • Off curve checking algorithm: Monitors the system's operation relative to the defined control curves, alerting operators if performance deviates significantly, which could indicate a problem with the burner or control system.

For installation, the module is designed for DIN Rail mounting within an electrical enclosure, ensuring adequate clearance for servicing and module removal. Proper wiring practices, including disconnecting power, complying with all applicable codes (NEC Class 1 for line voltage wiring), and using appropriate shielded or twisted-pair cables for communication lines, are emphasized to ensure safe and reliable operation. The module's robust design and diagnostic capabilities aim to minimize the need for frequent maintenance interventions, while also making troubleshooting straightforward when issues do arise.
