Burner Management System
Burner Management System A burner management system(BMS) is a safety solution that manages a combustion system and is responsible for Start-up and main flame detection Control and monitoring Shutdown sequences The BMS is considered a safety instrumented system (SIS). In PLC technology is used, it is often based on 1oo2 (one-out-of-two) or 2oo3d (two-out-of-three diagnostics) logic BMS interlocks must be implemented with dedicated systems. It can be accomplished by hard-wired relay logic, solid-state logic, or PLCs. Burner management systems are engineered to provide igniters (pilot) and main flame detection, as well as control and monitoring of burner start-up and shutdown sequences. This systems can help protect people, combustion process equipment, and surroundings areas in the event of an explosion or hazardous incident. BMS includes alarm management and operator display. These features help simplify unit operation while reducing start-up time. Purpose of BMS To inhibit startup
