Application examples – the perfect combination

Application 3: Large industrial operation,
3-shift operation, 7 days per week

Application 1: small or medium-sized brewery, Requirements Implementation
2-shift operation ▶ Process heating for production ▶ Multi-boiler system with two steam boilers,
▶ Connection to an existing automation system each 16 t/h
Requirements Implementation ▶ Maximum energy savings ▶ High-pressure condensate module
▶ Conventional heating for the building ▶ Heating boiler with control device Control 8000 ▶ Highest possible system availability to avoid ▶ Boiler controls BCO connected via system
▶ Process heating and cooling for production ▶ Steam boiler with boiler control BCO production downtime control SCO
▶ No production automation system ▶ Central control using system control MEC System ▶ Digital efficiency assistant MEC Optimize
▶ Energy data monitoring and evaluation of historical ▶ Energy data monitoring and evaluation using
system data MEC System The redundancy of the dual boiler system is a dis-
tinct advantage: this means the system is also highly
efficient even in partial load operation, and mainte-
nance work can be undertaken on the boiler without
interrupting steam supply. Using high-pressure con-

MEC Optimize also provides the relevant section of the
operating instructions. The boiler logbook is maintained
digitally, meaning every step is documented and can
be refe renced by the operator.
Application 2: Housing association,
multiple properties in one city

Requirements Implementation
▶ Reliable heat supply for tenants ▶ CHP units to cover base-load demand efficiently
▶ Low operating costs through an effective boiler and ▶ Peak load boilers with condensing technology
local power generation ▶ Optimal operation through centralised control via
▶ Centralised remote monitoring of all systems Control 8000
▶ Effective route planning for maintenance work ▶ Remote connection using MEC Remote via UMTS,
▶ Active fault notifications sent to on-call service staff without any additional wired network interfaces
mobile phones

The CHP control is securely connected to the
Control 8000 over a Modbus interface, allowing
centralised control of both components in one system.
The CHP module reliably delivers the necessary base
load, and any increased demand for heating is auto-
matically supplemented by the peak load boiler. All
systems can be monitored remotely using MEC Remote
and maintenance work can be planned in advance. On-
call service staff are automatically informed via SMS or
e-mail if a system is reporting a fault, meaning they will
be on-site as quickly as possible.
