Burnham MPC (Multi-Pass Commercial) Brochure

SBC 

INTEGRATED BOILER CONTROL SYSTEM

The Burnham Commercial SBC is a complete boiler monitoring and  

automation system. Available as an option, this exclusive feature was 

designed and developed by Burnham Commercial engineers and is 

available ONLY on Burnham Commercial products.

•

 Designed to maximize system efficiency and minimize energy usage

• Easily connected to building management systems

•

 Proven control platform

•

 Fail-safe design ensures boiler operation

SBC

™

•

  Easily integrated into existing or new building  

management systems

•

  Simplified connections available to most building management  

systems through Modbus® or standard 0-10 volt signals

•

  Uses sophisticated PID control logic for complete boiler  

system control

•

  Performs control functions for both single and multiple boilers

•

  Includes lead-lag sequencer for up to eight (8) fully  

modulating boilers 

•

  Capable of auto rotation, outdoor reset and  

peer-to-peer communication 

•

  “Plug and play” communication by simply connecting a  

RJ11 telephone line between boilers 

•

  Provides precise boiler coordination by sequencing boilers 

based on both remote system water temperature and boiler 

modulation rate

•

  Boilers are modulated in “unison”, all at the same firing rate to 

ensure even heat distribution

•

  Allows continued boiler operation in the event of selected 

sensor failure or building management system failure

•

 Two-line by sixteen (16) character LCD display

•

  Automatically presents boiler sequence, alarm, hold and  

lockout messages  

•

  Diagnostic menu displays the last 10 alarm messages and the  

boiler return temperature alarm history

•

  Controls the boiler modulation and on/off output based  

on the supply water temperature and an operator  

adjusted setpoint 

•

  Can respond to remote system water, outside air 

temperatures, Domestic Hot Water Priority (DHWP)  

or Energy Management Systems (EMS)

•

  Saves fuel by reducing the supply temperature of a heating 

boiler as the outside air temperature increases

Warm Weather Shutdown (WWSD)
•  Prevents the boiler, boiler pump and/or the system pump 

from starting during warm weather

•

  Continuous supply of hot water, even during warmer months

•

  Fully integrated automation of mixing valves, boiler pumps,  

system pumps and standby system pumps 

•

  Controls are field selectable through simple yes/no  

menu selections

•   Can be connected to a building’s Energy Management  

System (EMS) using simple menu selections and wiring  

a 4-20mA input

•  Connects to EMS using modbus protocol
•  Optional EMS Gateway to BacNet or LonWorks
•   Allows EMS controls to adjust either the SBC™ central  

heating setpoint or the firing rate
