Liquid fuel supply systems that power boilers, heaters, and generators are frequently automated and monitored remotely to prevent shutdowns. Automated processes might include pump rotation, tank filling and draining, fuel filtration and water separation, suction prime testing, and line leak test cycles. Monitoring operations include tank fuel and water levels, temperatures, leaks, and valve positions. The Fuel System Controller (FSC) is a flexible and reliable solution for performing these and other critical automation and monitoring processes.
The FSC is a general-purpose programmable logic controller with integral I/O. A single FSC can control and/or monitor a simple process, and multiple FSCs can be networked together for coordinated distributed control of larger systems. Each FSC has its own logic processor for independent distributed control. FSC-to-FSC communication occurs via dual redundant, masterless NodeNet networks.
