The Fireye NEXUS NX6100 Integrated Controller is a microprocessor based, Flame Safeguard and parallel
positioning combustion controller built into one compact, user configurable package. The system consists
of the Controller, Display, Temperature / Pressure Sensors, Servo-Motors and optional ComFire
Software.
Flame Safeguard: The Flame Safeguard portion of the control package provides burner sequencing including safe
start check, proof of main valve closure, selectable main gas safety proving sequence, supervised pre-purge, low fire
starting position, pilot and main trials for ignition, main flame supervision, and post purge. Safety event timings are
provided to meet North American and CE Standards. Time proven Fireye Flame Scanners and amplification circuits
using UV, UV-Self Check and Infrared sensors, provide fast reliable scanning of most commonly burned fuels. Seven
user defined auxiliary inputs provide supervision of safety critical and non-safety critical inputs.
Parallel Positioning: Control of up to four profiles using an independent servo-motor for each controlled element.
The controller allows precise positioning, accurate to 0.1o
, of the fuel and air controlling devices over the burner’s
firing range. Each profile can be defined to include up to 10 servo-motors. Profiles can be configured to share
common fuel servo-motors or as independent (one profile per fuel) and are not limited by fuel. Up to 24 positions per
profile including: Closed, Purge, Ignition (Preferred Start), Low Fire and an additional 20 intermediate points from low
to high fire. Each individual servo-motor’s position and speed are verified and lockout will occur should either of
these parameters be exceeded. All servo-motors are controlled via secure CANbus communications link. Simple
four-wire CANbus wiring simplifies installation, reduces mistakes and speeds commissioning.
Touchscreen: The NXTSD104 10.4 inch Touchscreen display provides a clear overview of the entire system.
Commissioning and operation of the NX6100 is made simple by familiar icons and easy to understand icon buttons.
All functions of the system are displayed along with a comprehensive alarm logging and 10 pen trending facility. The
NXTSD104 is internet ready for remote access and screen update. The NXTSD104 also allows the Boiler Operator
access to the Auto/Manual selector, Motor Data (servo positions) and other operational parameters such as System
Sequence Position, Valve Proving Sequence Status, Gas Pressure, Flame Signal, Modulation Rate and Setpoint, as
necessary.
Vacuum Florescent Display: The NX6110 Vacuum Florescent Display allows commissioning and current status
of the system through the use of its tactile membrane keypad. Multi-function keys allow the commissioning engineer
the ability to access the various Ratio Modes and Option Select menus. The two line 20 character Vacuum
Fluorescent Display clearly illuminates the Control Variable, Firing Mode, Fuel Selected and Hours Run. Other
system functions are also available.
Sensors: Modulation control is provided via the pressure/temperature sensor’s input. The Fireye NX1021, NX1030,
NX1034 NX1040 and NX1044 series sensors provide checking circuits for fail safe operation. PID setpoints are
available for the chosen modulation input, selectable up to two decimal points. Track modulation is available for those
applications requiring less precise control.
Multiple Boiler Sequencing: is accomplished through an RS485 Communications bus without additional software.
Lead/Lag and Standby set points for up to four (4) boilers can be configured from the 12 key keypad or the
Touch-screen. Lead boiler selection can be selected through the keypad, digital input or via optional Comfire II software.

Features & Benefits

option to control surface blow down based
on TDS levels set by operators.
• Flexibility
Utilize proven Fireye CANbus servomotors
or industrial 4-20mA current or I/P feed
water valves.
• Wiring
International voltage setting and simple
four wire CANbus interconnections make
wiring a snap. Safety relay contacts can
be easily inserted into the existing control
wiring.
• Reliable Operation
Proven hardware with more than five years
of in field service has been reconfigured to
provide these additional features.

Overview
The NXEXP300 when combined with the Fireye PPC6000¹ or NX6100
parallel positioning system adds basic Water (Drum) Level Control, Sequence
Draft Control and Expanded Digital Inputs.
Basic water level control using a Fireye CANbus servomotor and suitable valve
can be controlled by one, two or three elements of the boiler system; drum
level, steam flow, feed water flow.
Sequence draft control is also standard with the NXEXP300. Utilizing a suitably
ranged differential pressure sensor and Fireye CANbus servomotor, controlling
the boiler outlet damper through pre-purge, light off and run couldn’t be
easier.
Also included are an additional seven low voltage and two line voltage safety
rated digital inputs. These inputs provide additional safety interlock annunciation
as well as position proving inputs for outlet dampers, combustion air makeup
dampers and/or user defined options.
The NSDBWLC optional daughterboard expands the basic water level control
to include measurement and control of boiler total dissolved solids (TDS) using
industry standard TDS probes³. The NXDBWLC has inputs for the TDS probe
as well as an RTD (PT100) type boiler temperature sensor. If no PT100 is available,
the NXDBWLC relies on the standard saturated steam table in it’s memory.
TDS’s are controlled by surface and or bottom blow down. A full range
options allows flexibility to meet most boiler requirements.
Specifications and Performance
The Fireye NEXUS™ NXEXP300 is a microprocessor based, expansion module for use with the Fireye Nexus PPC6000¹ or integrated
NX6100 series of parallel positioning controls. The NXEXP300 expands the capability of the parallel positioning system by adding
valuable safety rated digital inputs, sequence draft control, boiler water level control and total dissolved solids (TDS) surface and
bottom blow down control. The small (5”L x 8.5”W x 3.75H) footprint, adjustable voltage (120/230, 50/60 hz.) and simplified wiring
provide easy retrofit to existing Fireye systems.
NXEXP300 Expansion Module
The NXEXP300 expands the capability of the NX6100/PPC6000¹ with seven low voltage,
safety rated, digital inputs along with two line voltage, safety rated digital inputs. When
configured via available option parameters, these inputs can be used to simply annunciate
conditions, or, shut the boiler down.
Sequence draft control is built into the NXEXP300 to control the boiler outlet damper. When
combined with an appropriate differential pressure sensor, Fireye servomotor or third party
actuator, the outlet damper will modulate and maintain the manufacturers’ outlet draft set point. The damper can be controlled with a
Fireye CANbus driven servo motor or, a third party actuator capable of accepting a 4-20mA signal. Analog control requires optional
NXDBWLC daughter board or optional NXDBVSD daughter board in main control. Maximum input impedance of actuators is 250
ohms. The boiler outlet damper is controlled during stand by, pre-purge, ignition and operation to provide a consistent outlet draft for
improved combustion performance and reduced stand by losses.
NXDBWLC Water Level Daughterboard
The option NXDBWLC expansion daughter board enhances the capability of the Nexus™
system by optimizing boiler water quality and level. The results are; higher quality steam and
reduced boiler water side scaling.
The NXDBWLC includes an input for the measurement of Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS) which in turn controls a surface, bottom or combination of, blow down valves.
A fully programmable operating scheme allows each site to be custom configured
based on water and operating conditions. Provisions are made for connecting a
PT100 RTD temperature sensor or the system can use a built in steam table for
estimating water temperature compensation. The NXDBWLC includes one analog
output for controlling either the boiler feed water valve or sequence draft damper.
The maximum input ompedance of the actuators must not exceed 250 ohms.
Other Enhancements:
• Oxygen Trim. 20+ Year Proven Oxygen Probe Technology
• VFD. Daughterboard for PPC6000/NX6100 Provides Two VFD
Channels Plus Modbus RTU
NXO2PK4 Oxygen Probe
