3 Application
1 Application
In module subrack BGT, up to nine burner control units can be
inserted together with the PFA700, while with the PFA710, the
maximum is eight burner control units.
The BGT is provided with a backplane with screw terminals for
simple, reliable wiring.
The conventional wide-spread systems used in industrial fur-
nace and kiln construction require bridging of large distances
for signal processing.
The field bus interface PFA is used in conjunction with the
pre-wired module subrack BGT for interworking of burner
control units PFU to industrial communication networks us-
ing PROFIBUS DP to control and monitor burners in industrial
furnaces and firing systems, e.g. in the iron and steel, glass
and ceramics, or plastics and chemical industries.
As a standardized fieldbus system, the PROFIBUS DP consider-
ably reduces development, installation and commissioning
costs compared to conventional wiring.
The use of a standard bus system offers massive benefits com-
pared to manufacturer-specific bespoke solutions. Time-tested
hardware components, standardized connection methods
and a series of tools of bus diagnostics and optimization are
available on the market from a whole range of manufacturers.
The widespread use of the system ensures that the planning
and service personnel are very familiar with how the system
operates and how to handle it and can therefore operate the
system efficiently.

The field bus interface PFA 700 integrates up to nine burner
control units PFU 760 into industrial communication networks
using PROFIBUS DP. The PFA 700 is plugged into the pre-wired
module subrack BGT SA-9U/1DP700, together with the burner
control units.
The field bus interface PFA 710 integrates up to eight burner
control units PFU 780 into industrial communication networks
using PROFIBUS DP. The PFA710 is plugged into the pre-wired
module subrack BGTSA-8U/1DP710, together with the burner
control units.
To the rear of the module subrack, there is a D-Sub socket for
connection to PROFIBUS DP and connection terminals in order
to send input and output signals to ignition transformers, gas
and air valves or UV sensors, for example, via the individual
burner control units PFU.
PROFIBUS DP
PROFIBUS is a manufacturer-independent, open fieldbus stand-
ard for diverse applications.
PROFIBUS DP is a bus variant for communication between
automation systems and distributed peripherals at the field
level, optimized for speed and low connection costs.
On PROFIBUS DP, the individual bus stations are connected
via a 2-core shielded cable as standard.
The bus system transfers the control signals for starting, re-
setting and for controlling the air valve to purge the furnace
or kiln or for cooling in start-up position and heating during
operation from the control system (PLC) to the PFA. In the op-
posite direction it sends information on the operating status.
3.1 Safety-related control signals
Control signals for the safety interlocks and digital input are
transferred independently of the bus communication by sepa-
rate cables.
3.2 Air valve
The air valves used to purge the furnace or kiln can either be
activated via the PROFIBUS or via a separate cable (to terminal
strip X10 of the BGT – at 24 V DC to terminal 12 or 13, or at
mains voltage to terminal 18).
It is possible to use the PROFIBUS to communicate that purging
is being carried out (by connecting mains voltage to terminal
17 of terminal strip X10 of the BGT).

3.3 BCSoft
The Windows software BCSoft allows extended access to
individual statistics, visualization of the process values and
the parameterization of the field bus interface via an optical
interface. Unit parameters can be adjusted to the specific
application.
3.4 Configuration, Master-Slave procedure
PROFIBUS DP is structured as a Master-Slave system. This al-
lows mono-master or multi-master systems to be implemented.
A distinction is made between three device types:
– DP Masters Class 1 (DPM1)
DPM1 devices are central controllers which exchange
data with the distributed stations (slaves) on the basis of a
defined cycle. This includes, for instance, the PLC, PC, CNC
or VME systems with which the PROFIBUS DP is operated.
– DP Masters Class 2 (DPM2)
DPM2 devices are programming, project planning or
operator-control devices. They are used for configuration
and commissioning of the system or for system operation
and visualization in ongoing operation.
– DP slaves
The devices which transmit input information from the
periphery to the master and which issue output informa-
tion from the master to the periphery are referred to as
“slaves”.
This also includes the PFA.
3.5 Addressing
A maximum of 126 units (masters and slaves) can be con-
nected to a PROFIBUS DP system. Each station is assigned an
individual PROFIBUS address which can be set between 0 and
126 using two code switches on the PFA board.

3.6 Network technology
All devices are connected in a bus structure (line). Up to 32
stations (masters or slaves) can be connected in a single seg-
ment. The beginning and end of each segment is fitted with
an active bus terminator. Both bus terminators must have a
permanent power supply to ensure error-free operation. The
power supply for the bus terminator is provided by the PFA. The
bus terminator can be connected in the bus connection plug.
If more than 32 stations are implemented or if there is a need
to expand the network area, repeaters (amplifiers) must be
used to link the individual bus segments.
3.7 Configuration
When planning a PROFIBUS DP system, unit-specific param-
eters of each station are to be taken into account.
To allow for simple and standardized planning, the parameters
of the PFA have been summarized in a so-called device master
data file (GSD). The file structure is standardized so that it can
be read by the planning devices of different manufacturers.
The GSD file is supplied on a CD with the PFA. The GSD file can
also be ordered at www.docuthek.com. The steps required to
copy the file are described in the instructions for the automa-
tion system.
3.7.1 Bus communication
Input/output bytes: The programmer can choose the data to
be transferred.
Input bytes
(PFA ▶ master)
Output bytes
(master ▶ PFA)
PFA 700 5 bytes 3 bytes
PFA 710 5 bytes 5 bytes
Baud rate: up to 1500 kbit/s.
The max. range per segment depends on the baud rate:
Baud rate [kbit/s] Range
[m] [ft]
93.75 1200 3937
187.5 1000 3280
500 400 1312
1500 200 656
The specified ranges may be increased by using repeaters.
No more than three repeaters should be connected in series.
The specified ranges relate to bus cable type A (two-core,
shielded and twisted), e.g.:
Siemens, Order No.: 6XV1830-0EH10, or
Lapp cable unitronic, Order No.: 2170-220T.

4.1 Scanning the parameters
During operation, the 7-segment display shows the program
status.
The individual parameters of the PFA can be called up on the
display by repeatedly pressing the Reset/Information button
(for 2seconds).
In the event of a fault, the PFA halts the program run, the display
blinks and it then displays the cause of the fault in coded form.
The PFA indicates “––” when the mains switch has been
switched off. This signals standby mode. The bus interface is
still operational to maintain the function of the communica-
tion system.
4.2 Changing parameters
The PFA is protected by a password to prevent unauthorized
changes to the parameter settings. After entering the pass-
word, the parameter settings can be modified. Be aware of
possible effects on the safe functioning of the system. The
factory default password is 1234.
4.3 Manual operation
The PFA can be started in manual mode for burner adjustment
or for fault-finding.
When switching on, press the Reset/Information button until
the unit reverts to manual mode. Two dots blink on the dis-
play. In this operating mode, the burner control unit operates
independently of the status of the bus and the inputs (apart
from the pre-purge input and the safety interlocks).
In the factory default setting, manual mode is limited to 5
minutes (parameter 34 = 1). During this time, the burner can
be adjusted, for example. If parameter 34 is set to 0, the time
limitation will be removed. Emergency operation is now pos-
sible, for example in the event of a lengthy bus fault. (In the
event of a bus fault, P will blink on the display).
Using the opto-adapter and the BCSoft software (see page 23
(Opto-adapter and BCSoft)), the operating mode parameters for
manual mode can be changed. On parameterization, ensure
that the program sequence matches the application. Select the
parameters so that the burner can be operated as intended
in all operating phases.
