Challenges<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

Heating System for a large Ag Barn – Instead of installing one big boiler to heat a large poultry barn, the customer decided to install a couple of smaller ones in case one breaks down. They then needed a control system to control the boilers as different zones in the barn requested heat.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Solution<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

We used the X7A to do the control part. A Smartstix Combo Input\/Output is used to interface with the barn\u2019s ventilation controller and alarm system since the boiler room is in a remote location from the barn. Along with controlling the boilers based on heat demand, it also monitors the boilers alarm, gas valve, pre-ignition cycle, and running status via digital inputs. If a boiler alarm\u2019s for any reason, it\u2019ll automatically switch to a backup boiler and notify the operators via text. It also records and graphs pipe temperature for the last 20 minutes so the operator can see if anything abnormal is happening.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Testimonial<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

\u201cThe X7 worked perfectly for this application because of its substantial onboard IO and temperature sensor support, support for CAN-based IO, and its built-in email service used to alert operators.\u201d<\/p>\n
