BMS - Increased Safety, Reduced Complexity
SIMATIC Burner Management Systems offer all you need to monitor, control, diagnose, and maintain the various aspects of your fuel burning equipment. With TÜV-certified automation hardware and customizable software, the compact BMS1500F, BMS 1200F and BMS-SPF systems comply with the required NFPA, IEC, and ANSI/ISA standards for single or multiple burner/dual-fuel applications. Furthermore, these designs are capable of meeting up to SIL-3 with the appropriate field devices.BMS

The Siemens Burner Management solution has been designed in accordance with all of the technical requirements listed in both:
NFPA 85 and 86 standards for programmable logic solvers (section 4.11 of NFPA 85 and section 8.3 of NFPA 86)
In addition, all critical BMS functions are managed via
IEC 61508-compliant components up to SIL-3, thereby ensuring safety metrics are met.
In addition, these systems are compliant with
ISA S84.00.01-2004 and IEC 61511.
Improving safety compliance and cost-effectiveness of your BMS
Regardless of the industry, safety must be a foremost concern wherever fuel is burned – furnaces, ovens, kilns, dryers, boilers and other kinds of facilities. Explosions can be deadly, costly and disruptive. Current revisions in U.S. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards raised burner safety minimums. At the same time, integrations of safety PLCs into burner management systems – at nearly the same cost as regular PLCs – have boosted safety levels even further to meet SIL 2 and SIL 3 requirements. In addition, these advanced systems can offer improved operating efficiency, plus visibility via data feeds to higher-level DCS systems and easy-to-use, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), accessed remotely via tablets and even smartphones. These are among the key benefits upgrading to these systems can provide.
The safety guide for optimum machine safety
Machine safety is a complex issue. Technical measures for machine safety make a significant contribution. Standardization recommends implementing a structured process.
But what exactly might a well-structured process look like?
We will show you what aspects are important, what is entailed and how you can plan and implement such a process in an efficient manner.
