The home-screen is a graphical representation of the boiler, burner and fuel delivery system. In addition, the current operating status, the values of any installed pressure or temperature sensors and any alarm conditions are also displayed.
During burner start-up a dedicated pop-up panel appears to indicate progress through the various stages of start-up from proving the closed positions of the drives through to modulation. On burner shutdown a similar panel is also displayed.
‘Buttons’ at the bottom of the touchscreen allow users to initiate functions such as burner start/stop, fuel selection, control mode, alarm handling as well as entering the various operational modes.
The touchscreen display is a ‘blank canvas’ allowing ETC to work with its customers to design graphics and screen layouts to their exact specifications and requirements. ETC’s OEM customers can have products developed that reflect their unique design philosophies and personalities and incorporate their trademarks and logos. Restrictions previously associated with language character sets such as Russian and Chinese are no longer issues. The touchscreen bezel can also be supplied to suit customer requirements.
