Intelligent Boiler Control


PLC Control The Intelligent Choice
You have a wide range of options in terms of boiler and combustion control systems. Many of these systems are non-integrated which means that they are third-party vendors who have little or no experience in the design, construction, startup or integration of boiler systems.
BOILER OVERVIEW
The "home page" of the CB-Hawk ICS, this interface can indicate Flue Gas Analysis, Combustion Air Temperature, Efficiency, Oxygen, Steam Pressure, Water Temperature, Firing Rate, Feedwater Temperature, Water Level, IP Address, Elapsed Time and Number of Cycles.

Cleaver-Brooks in sharp contrast to non-integrated control vendors offers fully-integrated solutions. Cleaver-Brooks designs, builds, delivers and supports boilers as well as designs, integrates, delivers and supports the control systems. Non-integrated control vendors who compete with Cleaver-Brooks tend to use either Personal Computer-based (PC-based) systems or proprietary microprocessor-based systems. PC-based systems suffer the same problems that any office or home computer experiences such as crashes, system errors, hard disk errors, viruses and security vulnerabilities. Nonintegrated control vendors who use proprietary, microprocessor-based technology may gain some reliability advantages over their PC-based counterparts but, these home grown systems are prone to failures that are difficult to diagnose and costly to repair.

BURNER CONTROL
Monitors the status of the Flame Safety control including flame signal and the status of the inputs that allow the boiler to start. Inputs monitored include: Burner Switch Position, Load Demand, Limits, External Interlock and Assured Low Fire Cut-Off (ALFCO).

Cleaver-Brooks, is the only fullyintegrated boiler control company a company who designs boilers, burners and the systems that control them. Cleaver-Brooks has chosen advanced PLC technology because it is robust, powerful, industrially-hardened and because it communicates its control and monitoring information easily using industry-standard protocols such as ModBus, BackNet, Lon Works and Ethernet/IP. Cleaver-Brooks selected Rockwell Automations Allen-Bradley PLC as its hardware platform. Allen-Bradley PLCs are #1 in the world in terms of technology, reliability, installed base and ease of integration. PLC technology is the Gold Standard for boiler and combustion control. This is why Cleaver-Brooks uses PLC control as the foundation for the CB-Hawk ICS

BURNER CONTROL DIAGNOSTICS


This interface displays the status of the flame safeguard terminals. Using this display any anomalies that are detected can be quickly diagnosed, recorded and corrected to ensure maximum up-time and safety.

An Added Level of Safety


The CB-Hawk ICS is designed with an added level of safety. Competing systems typically combine the burner managing function with the monitoring and control function. Cleaver-Brooks has designed the CB-Hawk ICS in such a way that in the unlikely event that the PLC goes down the CB 780 or CB 100E burner management system can properly manage the safety-critical combustion function until the PLC is back online. The added level of safety and dependability provided by CB-Hawk ICS is a mission-critical advantage over competing boiler control systems.

As a fully-integrated boiler solutions provider, Cleaver-Brooks combines its 75 years of leadership experience in boiler design and integration with its long history as the leader in boiler control. Using advanced PLC technology, Cleaver-Brooks delivers the CB-Hawk ICS control system pre-programmed to quickly and easily provide the cost efficiency, environmental sensitivity, monitoring, communications and safety that are the hallmarks of Cleaver-Brooks.

How it Works
The CB-Hawk ICS is custom designed for each application. The level of functionality varies depending on the needs of the end-user and the demands of the application itself. The core functional elements of the CB-Hawk ICS reside in an Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). This PLC contains the functionality that allows for many levels of monitoring and control including multiple fuel capabilities (up to 3 fuels), O2 trim/monitoring and programming, communications with the combustion controller, control of the optional high-efficiency Variable Speed Drive (VSD), Lead/Lag (master/slave) multiple boiler control and the monitoring and control of boiler water level. All of this monitoring and control data can be transmitted and displayed either on site or anywhere in the world via the PLCs flexible and powerful communications capabilities. The CB-Hawk ICS also drives an easyto-use Human Machine Interface (HMI) that displays a clear yet informationpacked Graphical User Interface (GUI). So, if you need to work with the CBHawk ICS on site its easy. If you need to be informed of status and/or alarms remotely the CB-Hawk ICS can do so via e-mail, pager, Blackberry (or similar device) or via an HTML (Internet) interface. The CB-Hawk ICS can easily share its data with Building Automation Systems (BAS) from companies such as Johnson Controls, Honeywell, etc. If needed, data can be shared using standard protocols with enterprise-wide systems such as SAP, J.D. Edwards, Baan, etc. so that stakeholders in engineering, financial as well as process and building control can monitor boiler functionality remotely and in real time. The CB-Hawk ICS delivers all of this functionality while providing the most cost-efficient and safest boiler and combustion control available.

Ideal for Retrofit


The CB-Hawk ICS makes decades-old boilers as efficient as new units coming straight off the factory floor. Employing industrially-hardened PLC technology, user friendly touch screen operation and advanced operating and diagnostic messaging, the Hawk ICS offers unmatched functionality. Upgrade options give your old boiler state-ofthe-art performance. These upgrades include the C-B Level Master which adds optimal safety and visual monitoring to water level control, energy efficient variable speed drive control, parallel positioning, O2 trim, multiple boiler lead/lag and a wide range of other control and monitoring capabilities. There is no other control that makes your old boiler like brand new and watches it like a Hawk.
