<strong>User</strong> <strong>Manual</strong><br />
Remote Control and Programming<br />
POS can also be used for remote control and programming functions. The functions can be<br />
password protected to allow only authorized users access to them. POS has the ability to start,<br />
stop and reset the voltage controls. Also, all the functionality available to the users at the<br />
control’s face panel is also available in POS via the control’s remote view.<br />
<strong>User</strong>s can also remotely program the MicroRap via the Rapper Control Programming Module<br />
(RCPM). This module allows users to create and save an unlimited number of programs on the<br />
computers hard disk drive for later transfer into any of the six valid user programs of the<br />
MicroRap. <strong>User</strong>s also have the ability to remotely change which program number the rapper<br />
control is executing, reset failed rappers and reset rapper control alarms.<br />
POS also can provide control capability for soot blowers, hopper evacuation systems, and flue<br />
gas conditioning systems.<br />
<strong>Optimization</strong><br />
Performance optimization is probably the most powerful feature of POS. With this feature POS<br />
automatically adjusts the voltage control’s operating limits based on one of two sets of<br />
parameters. The first set is stack opacity and load. With opacity and load optimization, POS<br />
continually adjusts the control’s secondary current limit by a user set percentage of full power.<br />
The number of steps and timing of the steps are all user configurable. POS will lower the total<br />
power of the precipitator until one of three things happen. The first being POS reaching the end<br />
of the optimization program, the second is the opacity limit (user set) is reached which will either<br />
abort optimization altogether or cause optimization to take one step back in the program. The<br />
third item that can cause optimization to abort is a large change in the boiler load.<br />
Performance optimization can also be configured to be based on stack opacity and precipitator<br />
power. This operates similar to opacity and load except precipitator power levels are used<br />
instead of boiler load levels. This type of optimization is most commonly used in cement plants.<br />
MicroRap optimization allows the POS to automatically switch between the six stored MicroRap<br />
programs based on a set of conditions configured by the user.<br />
In SO3 optimization POS will adjust the PPM of SO3 to improve precipitator performance. POS<br />
will then monitor the performance of the precipitator and when conditions warrant, it will begin<br />
tuning the PPM to improve precipitator operation. This system requires an interface to the SO3<br />
controls.<br />
