Boiler burner

The boiler burner is a reusable 3D utilities component for plant utility and energy systems. In this simulator it represents equipment that supports a wider production process.

Motion and state

Its process animation communicates running, stopped and abnormal machine state.

PLC control pattern

Commission it by proving burner running, flame proven, burner fault before accepting burner start.

Fault practice

Inject stuck-on, stuck-off states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.

Fault and recovery exercise

Make abnormal states part of the sequence

Inject stuck-on, stuck-off states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.

Engineering boundary

The model teaches PLC sequence behaviour and diagnosis. Confirm ratings, wiring, guarding, process calculations and commissioning limits against the real manufacturer documentation and site design.
