 SECTION 2 OVERVIEW

SECTION 2 OVERVIEW
1. Product Overview
1.1 Features and Functions
This unit automatically determines the optimum number of boilers to operate in consideration of the
load and operates the required number of boilers in descending order of priority(*). The major features
are as follows.

 This unit efficiently operates 15 boilers at maximum depending on the pressure status detected
by the pressure sensor installed on the steam header.

 The boiler can reduce unnecessary start and stop by setting the quantity of low fire standby units
depending on loading condition.

 When something goes wrong with one of the boilers, this unit performs MI control(*) on the rest of
the normal boilers. This enables the unit to perform a stable MI control(*) at a boiler abnormality.

 The automatic rotation(*) function determines combustion priorities(*) for the boilers according to
the cumulative combustion time of the boiler, which enables automatic equalization of boiler
combustion time.

 The blowdown time can be notified with the indication lamp by setting the blowdown timing. After
performing blowdown, the boiler can be operated temporarily on a priority basis to prevent the
corrosion of the boiler pressure vessel.

 The boiler can be turned on and off once a day by timer function. Setting can be performed
separately for each boiler under automatic operation(*).

 By installing an optional pressure sensor onto the MI Terminal MT1-200 of each boiler, the
pressure can be controlled at almost the same level as automatic operation(*) even when the
boiler is under manual operation(*). The unit can respond to a sudden load change by keeping
the boilers at a constant pressure during standby.

 The MI controllers(*) are connected only by two-core twisted pair cables(*) and the quantity of
boilers to be controlled can be changed by setting. This facilitates additional installation of
boilers after introduction of MI controllers(*).

5
SECTION 2 OVERVIEW

1.2 Configuration
As shown in the following figure, the unit is composed of a steam header that collects steam from the
boilers, a pressure sensor that monitors steam pressure of the steam header, a Pressure Controller
MP1-200, steam boilers controlled under MI control(*) and MT1-200 units that control the boilers.
The Pressure Controller MP1-200 performs monitoring on steam pressure of the steam header to
determine the most efficient combustion condition depending on the status of load change.
The MI Terminal MT1-200 receives information from the Pressure Controller MP1-200 to determine
the priorities(*), thus performing combustion control on the boilers.

Example: When two new boilers (No.(*) 1 and 2) and two old boilers (No.(*) 3 and 4)
coexist.
For example, set the cumulative combustion time for the boiler No. (*)1 and 2
to 0 and the boiler No. (*)3 and 4 to 1000.
Due to a shorter cumulative combustion time of the new boilers than that of
the old boilers, the new boilers (No.(*) 1 and 2) are given the first and second
priorities(*) respectively after automatic rotation(*). The old boilers are given
the third and fourth priorities(*).
There is no difference in the cumulative combustion time between the boiler
No. (*) 1 and 2, and between No.(*) 3 and 4, respectively. The rotation (*) is
performed to equalize the cumulative combustion time of boiler No.(*) 1 and 2,
and boiler No.(*) 3 and 4 respectively.
This condition will be held until the cumulative combustion time of the new
boilers exceeds that of old boilers. To hold this condition, set the cumulative
combustion time again.

 SECTION 3 OPERATION

3. Details of Control and Function

3.1 MI Control Function
This MI controller(*) fires up the required quantity of boilers in accordance with the steam pressure
detected by the pressure sensor connected to the Pressure Controller MP1-200.

a) Conditions for MI control(*)

1) Boilers in the following statuses are not controlled by MI control(*).
• Boilers with combustion switch OFF
• Boilers in error statuses
• Boilers under manual operation(*)
• Boilers which are stopped by the timer function of MI Terminal MT1-200
• Boilers of which the power of the Pressure Controller MP1-200 or the MI Terminal
MT1-200 is OFF or MI communication is not performed
• Boilers of which boiler number(*) of the MI Terminal MT1-200 is larger than the boiler
quantity set at the Pressure Controller MP1-200
• Boilers of which boiler number(*) of the MI Terminal MT1-200 is duplicated with that of
other MI Terminal MT1-200
• Boilers which are off by the pressure switch of the boiler

2) MI control(*) is not performed under the following additional conditions.

• External control signaling is input to the Pressure Controller MP1-200.
• The pressure sensor has failed.
In this case, actual control depends on the failure status. If the Pressure Controller
MP1-200 can detect a failure, each boiler is switched to manual operation(*) and then
controlled by the boiler steam pressure setting (or MI Terminal MT1-200 pressure
sensor). If a failure cannot be detected, the unit carries out MI control(*) corresponding to
the displayed pressure.

b) Operation timing
Boilers are fired up or go on standby by the MI control(*) at one second intervals. To control power
supply, boilers are started at the minimum interval of three seconds (simultaneously start
prevention function).

35
SECTION 3 OPERATION

c) Operation at boiler start

1) In accordance with the increase in load and resulting decrease in header steam pressure, this
MI controller(*) increases the quantity of boilers to fire. The unit starts the boilers while securing
the quantity of low fire boiler that was set in advance at the setting of the quantity of stand-by
boilers (set with the Pressure Controller MP1-200).

P.17
2) The boilers are started in the order of priority(*) (from the first priority(*)).

Header pressure

1 Low fire High fire High fire High fire High fire High fire High fire High fire

2 Low fire High fire High fire High fire High fire High fire

3 Low fire High fire High fire High fire

4 Low fire High fire

1 Low fire Low fire Low fire Low fire High fire High fire High fire High fire

2 Low fire Low fire Low fire Low fire High fire High fire High fire

3 Low fire Low fire Low fire Low fire High fire High fire

4 Low fire Low fire Low fire Low fire High fire

d) Operation at boiler stop

1) The unit decreases the quantity of boilers to fire in accordance with the increase in header
steam pressure resulting from decrease in load. The shift from high fire to low fire is performed
on a priority basis regardless of the setting of the quantity of stand-by boilers. Therefore, the
quantity of boilers fired up at low fire may exceed the set quantity of stand-by boilers.

2) If more boilers than the set quantity of stand-by boilers continue low fire for over 15 minutes,
operation is stopped from the lowest priority(*) boiler in sequence, and the boilers with high
priority(*) are shifted to high fire.

Header pressure

1 High fire High fire High fire High fire Low fire Low fire Low fire Low fire

2 High fire High fire High fire Low fire Low fire Low fire Low fire

3 High fire High fire Low fire Low fire Low fire Low fire

4 High fire Low fire Low fire Low fire Low fire

36
 SECTION 3 OPERATION

3.2 Determination of Priority

The boiler with shorter cumulative combustion time is given a higher priority(*). Although setting can be
made with each MI Terminal MT1-200, make setting so as not to make priorities(*) duplicate.

P.21

3.3 Backup Control

The MI controller(*) carries out backup control in the following cases.

a) Backup control when a boiler is out of control

If any of the boilers is out of control due to a failure or a combustion switch OFF, the controller
distributes load to the controllable boilers and give a priority(*) to the boilers and starts
combustion.
b) Backup control during pre-purge
When a newly activated boiler is performing pre-purge, other low fire boilers temporarily shift to
high fire. This minimizes the delay of load response.
If the priority(*) sequence of boilers is changed, the existing boilers continue combustion until the
new boiler starts combustion.
c) A pressure sensor is installed on the MI Terminal MT1-200
If an optional pressure sensor is installed on the MI Terminal MT1-200, other boilers perform
backup operation until the new boilers obtain a sufficient pressure after combustion begins.

3.4 Automatic Rotation Function

This MI controller(*) has an automatic rotation(*) function that determines the priority(*) automatically at
a preset timing in ascending order of length of the cumulative combustion time.

a) Automatic rotation(*) at one- to seven-day intervals [Rotation(*) flag=1 to 7]

By setting a value from 1 to 7 to the rotation(*) flag with the MI Terminal MT1-200 for the boiler
No.(*)1, rotation(*) of boilers is performed automatically every 1 to 7 days.
Automatic rotation(*) is performed at a rotation(*) time specified with the MI Terminal MT1-200 of
the boiler No.(*)1.

37
SECTION 3 OPERATION

b) Automatic rotation(*) after complete blowdown [Rotation(*) flag=8]

This function is activated when the rotation(*) flag is set to 8 with each MI Terminal MT1-200. Pressing
the “B.BLOW” switch on any MI Terminal MT1-200 under such setting resets the complete blowdown
notification timer. The rotation(*) is performed at the same time.
If setting of any priority combustion time after complete blowdown is made, the priority(*) is changed
temporarily.
c) Fixing the priority(*) of particular boiler [Rotation(*) flag=9]
This function is activated when the rotation(*) flag is set to 9 with each MI Terminal MT1-200. Under
this setting, the priority(*) set with the MI Terminal MT1-200 remains unchanged at automatic rotation(*)
timing.
Precluding the priority(*) that is fixed with this setting, the other MT1-200 units under automatic
rotation(*) determine the priority(*).
d) Automatic rotation(*) at intervals of 1 to 12 hours [Rotation(*) flag = A to F]
(Option: Only when pressure sensor is installed)
If an optional pressure sensor is installed, the automatic rotation(*) can be performed at intervals of 1
to 12 hours by setting the rotation(*) flag to an alphabetical character rom A to F with the MI Terminal
MT1-200 of the boiler No.(*)1.
If the rotation(*) flag is set from A to F without installing an optional pressure sensor, the automatic
rotation(*) is performed every day at a specified time.

The following shows operation when an alphabetical character from A to F is set to the rotation(*) flag.

 SECTION 3 OPERATION

NOTE
If the automatic rotation(*) function is utilized at intervals from 1 to 12 hours, it is necessary
to check the version of each MI Terminal MT1-200 and the Pressure Controller MP1-200.
Contact MIURA maintenance personnel for details.

e) Inactivation of automatic rotation(*)

Automatic rotation(*) is not performed under the following case.
• The rotation(*) flag is set to 0 or 9 with the MI Terminal MT1-200 of the boiler No.(*)1.

f) Setting example of automatic rotation(*)

The following is an example where MI control(*) is performed on four units of boilers.

• In this example, automatic rotation(*) is performed every two days at a specified time (in
accordance with the rotation(*) flag setting for the boiler No.(*)1).
• At the rotation(*) time, a higher priority order is given to the boilers in which the cumulative
combustion time is shorter.
• For the boiler of which rotation(*) flag is set to 9 (boiler No.(*)3), the priority(*) is fixed.

39
SECTION 3 OPERATION

3.5 Blowdown Timing Notification Function

This function is activated when the time for blowdown timing notification is set to other than 0 with
each MI Terminal MT1-200.
When the high fire converted combustion time reaches a specified time after resetting the notification
time for blowdown timing, the “B.BLOW” LED on the MI Terminal MT1-200 blinks to notify the
blowdown timing.

P.32

• The notification time for complete blowdown and soot blow can be set and notify
individually.
• To reset the value, press the “B.BLOW” or “S.BLOW” switches after the blowdown timing
is notified.
• This setting can be made within the range of 0 to 999 in hour units (high fire converted
combustion time). This function is not activated if the value is set to 0.

If emergency stop input is implemented, the “EMERGENCY STOP” LED on the control panel
turns on and all the boilers in successful communication stop operation, regardless of their
pressure or operation mode (manual/automatic). The contact of the alarm output (terminal block
No.14) also closes.
The input logic can be changed with the internal “SWITCH 1”.

P.16
b) Alarm confirmation input (Terminal block No.4 and No.5 input)
This control signal input has no impact on the MI control(*) function. When the Pressure Controller
MP1-200 provides an alarm output (terminal block No.14) due to abnormality in the boiler, this
input stops the alarm output.
41
SECTION 3 OPERATION

c) All stop input (Terminal block No.7 and No.8 input)

This input stops all the firing boilers under MI control(*) by providing an all stop input.
All the automatically operated(*) boilers connected to the MI Terminal MT1-200 with passage of
electric current are targets.

d) All combustion input (Terminal block No.6 and No.7 input)

An all combustion input causes all the boilers under MI control(*) to start combustion in order.
All the automatically operated(*) boilers connected to the MI Terminal MT1-200 with passage of
electric current are targets. This input is nonfunctional if “Emergency stop Input” and “All Stop
Input” are input. (The boilers are stopped in accordance with the status of each input condition.)

3.6.2 Output for External Monitor (Terminal Block No.9 to No.20)

42
 SECTION 3 OPERATION

The pressure controller, model MP1-200, has several “dry” contacts available. On site wiring of
these outputs must be done by the customer or electrical contractor to fully utilize the available
features. All of the outputs require power from an outside source. The contacts are operated by a
relay mounted on the MP1-200. The relay contacts are rated for 250VAC, 1A. Output loads are
requested to be non-inductive. MIURA does not recommend installing an induction load, such as a
solenoid valve or transformer. If an induction load is to be connected, use an external relay
operated by the contact to avoid inductive kick on the MP1 circuit board.

a) Sensor fail output (Terminal block No.9)

This contact closes when an error is detected with the pressure sensor installed on the steam
header. When this contact closes, a sensor failure or disconnection in wire to the sensor is
attributed to the possible cause.

b) Communication status output (Terminal block No.11)

The communication status is output through the contact. Operation varies depending on the
setting of the “SWITCH 1” installed inside.

P.16
When the SW1-4 is OFF
The contact closes if an MI Terminal MT1-200 has a communication error.
When the SW1-4 is ON
The contact closes if there is no problem in communication with all the MT1-200 units.

c) Boiler operation output (Terminal block No.12)

The contact closes when the operation switch of any of the boilers is ON.
When all the boiler's operation switches are OFF, the contact opens after five seconds.
The operation switch of any boiler with a communication error is considered to be in the OFF
state.

d) Alarm output (Terminal block No.14)

This contact closes when any contact of pressure alarm H (No.20), pressure alarm L (No.18),
boiler trouble (No.17), and emergency stop (No.15) is closed.
This contact opens under the following cases.

 SECTION 3 OPERATION

3.7 Boiler Pressure Control Function (Option)

The controller allows this function to operate when an optional pressure sensor is installed on the MI
Terminal MT1-200 of each boiler.

a) Boiler pressure control under manual operation(*)

The controller controls the boiler combustion in accordance with the control pressure separately
set when the MI Terminal MT1-200 is under the manual operation(*) mode.
When the boiler is set to the manual operation(*) mode, operation is changed automatically so
that it operates at a control pressure set with the MT1-200.

P.25

b) Pressure holding
By setting a holding pressure to the MI Terminal MT1-200, the boilers can perform combustion up
to a certain pressure even though the boilers are under standby state during automatic
operation(*). (The pressure to hold the pressure constant is referred to as holding pressure.)
This function is effective in case of sudden fluctuations in load since the boilers under standby
can always keep pressure above a certain level.

47
SECTION 4 BREAKDOWN AND COUNTERMEASURES

b) Check if the setting of the boiler pressure is lower than the control pressure.
Set the pressure of the boiler pressure 0.1 MPa {1.0 kgf/cm2} higher than the control
pressure.

4. When the Boilers Do Not Start Combustion

a) Check if the boiler's operation switch or combustion switch are turned on.
The boiler does not start combustion unless the boiler's operation switch and combustion
switch are turned on. Turn on the boiler's operation switch and combustion switch in
accordance with the boiler's operation manual to make the boiler ready for combustion.

b) Check if the “TIMER” LED of the MI Terminal MT1-200 is blinking.

When the “TIMER” LED is blinking, the boilers are stopped with the timer function.
Press the “TIMER” switch to cancel the timer function or change the timer setting.

P. 20, 28

c) Check if the “LUMP OPERATION” or “EMERGENCY STOP” LED of the Pressure Controller
MP1-200 control panel is turned on.
The boiler does not start combustion when control signals are input to the all stop or
emergency stop terminal for external control. Turn off the switches provided outside to
cancel the boiler stop input.
If an earthquake detector is connected to the unit, the detector may be in the detecting
process.
Check the cause and then perform resetting.

P. 32

c) Check if the power supply is turned off at the rotation(*) time.

If the Pressure Controller MP1-200 or the MI Terminal MT1-200 is turned off at the rotation(*)
time, rotation(*) will not be performed. Change the rotation(*) time or do not turn off the unit.

d) Check if the cumulative combustion time is larger (or smaller) than that of other boilers.
Under the automatic rotation(*), the MI Terminal MT1-200 determines the priorities(*) of the
boilers in ascending order of the cumulative combustion time. Check the cumulative
combustion time.

P. 19

7. When the Boilers Do Not Fire According to the Priorities

In the following cases, the actual order of firing boilers is different from the priorities(*).
a) When the same priority is given to multiple boilers.
The boilers are prioritized based on larger boiler numbers(*).
Example: When three boilers are used
Boiler No.(*) Priority(*) Actual order
1 1 2
2 1 1
3 2 3

SECTION 4 BREAKDOWN AND COUNTERMEASURES

b) When the complete blowdown notification timer is reset

In the case where the priority combustion time after complete blowdown is set to a number
other than 0 with the MI Terminal MT1-200, the controller allows the prioritized boiler to be
fired up when the user resets the complete blowdown notification timer after complete
blowdown notification is set off.
Prioritized combustion is performed during the time period preset with the MI Terminal
MT1-200 or until the boiler starts surface blowdown.
If the complete blowdown notification timer is reset on multiple boilers at around the same
time, priorities are given in the order of resetting.

c) At backup control
In the following cases, the priorities(*) do not change.
• If any abnormality prevents the controller from controlling a boiler, the controller
does not count the boiler in the number of controlled boilers and allows the other
boilers with successive priorities(*) to fire up in order.
• The controller fires up the other boilers with lower priorities(*) temporarily during
pre-purge (especially when priority(*) is changed) to ensure stable operation.
