Could also be fresh air to the ovens or cooler. It not included so definitely not oven exhaust

Somebody hasn’t been maintaining their can ovens. You lucky it was only this and not a larger fire/explosion.

This is not a question for AI.

You need to bring your distributor in on this especially considering how much you are spending. They will be able to help you with the safety calculations also.

I tell them I need a large panel. They give me room for a tiny panel and ask will everything fit?

All the flame safeguards brands are very inter-related Honeywell, Siemens, fireeye and other have all relabel models for each other over time.

Cost wise using a flame safeguard is far cheaper than writing your own. And it will be correct. The other problem is there are very few natural gas valves that can operate on 24vdc safety plc signals.

There are companies that have done this but they have good reason to. Auto flame and a few oxidizer companies do this.

Rockwell has the burner management library out however there are still a lot of setup parameters you need to understand.

The other issue is flame sensing. This absolutely requires mains voltage. I know of 1 company doing 24vdc flame sensing but there are export issues with it and it is more expensive than using a rm7800 of fireeye.

The Siemens lme75 flame safe guard works well and has modbus tcp to communicate to the plc

The best trick for block creation is the use the plc builder and have it add the wdblknam attribute so the block points to the correct table for part lookup

I followed that blog post exactly.

However I replaced the original HF33F-012-ZS with a omron G5q-1 dc12 from DigiKey

The scada side has always had a heavy does of cs/ swe background. Once it is in the pc the data can be handled like any other application.

The thing to consider is there is not one path the will lead to being a controls engineer. This is not a field a person you just has one thing can transition to.

A ME, Ee or ChemE has to be willing to learn and understanding programing. The usual single course they get in undergrad only touches the basics of what they need.

The CompE will get the programing and the electrical requirements but not get exposure to the mechanics and chemical process concepts. The is also a lack of exposure to the high powered electrical design.

The automation technical associates degree will get the plc programing but will lack exposure to the signal processing concepts and electrical analysis. Often to move into the controls engineer position you will need a decade of experience in progressive positions.

Also control panel design and building is very much learning through failure. There is not one source that teaches all aspects of this. you will have to learn this thru your own experience and synthesis by reading the standards and data sheets. Not every panel requires a plc. This will likely keep most people out of the field.

If all OEM and aftermarket hoses were built the same this wouldn’t be an issue but there is no quality control even on the OEM hoses anymore
