Functional Features Local LCD display shows live flame signal, sequence state and fault history. Parallel air/fuel ratio modulation, supports two analog outputs for combustion control. Modbus RTU integration, connects to central plant DCS for remote monitoring. Configurable interlock logic, adapts to custom burner safety sequences. Fault history log stores last 10 lockout events with timestamps. Flame sensitivity adjustable via menu, optimized for different fuel types.
Application Scenarios Industrial process heater combustion control Boilers requiring remote DCS burner monitoring Custom burner sequences with ratio modulation Spare part replacement for legacy EC7890 controls

Structural Features Rectangular plastic enclosure. Front LCD display and three menu navigation buttons. Rear terminals grouped by power, detector, outputs and communication. Removable terminal blocks for field wiring. Mounting clips for DIN rail installation.
Working Principle The control runs the standard burner sequence: pre-purge, ignition, flame confirmation and run. During normal operation, the analog outputs drive air and fuel valves in parallel ratio, maintaining optimal combustion air/fuel mix. The LCD continuously displays measured flame signal strength. Fault events are logged to non-volatile memory with timestamps. The Modbus port sends burner status, flame signal and fault data to the plant DCS, and accepts remote setpoint and modulation commands.
Installation Requirements Mount the control on the cabinet DIN rail. Connect flame detector, fuel valve, blower and modulation valve wiring. Connect RS485 Modbus bus to the communication port. Configure purge time, ignition timing and ratio parameters via the local menu. Run a full burner cycle test, confirm sequence timing and modulation operation.
Usage Notes Analog output wiring uses shielded cable, single-point shield grounding. Never adjust flame sensitivity below the minimum required for reliable detection, this risks false flame signals. Fault log data should be exported during annual maintenance to track recurring lockout events. Modbus address must not conflict with other devices on the plant bus.
