Integrated Combustion System for Commercial and Industrial Applications Launched

Single, modular platform substantially simplifies engineering design and is customisable for almost any application and industry
Honeywell have announced the launch of SLATE™ Integrated Combustion System designed to substantially simplify the engineering of combustion equipment controls in one, easy-to-program platform.

“We literally ‘wiped the slate clean’ to rethink combustion equipment management, trading complexity for simplicity, and we’ve redefined the industry with Honeywell SLATE,” said Beth Wozniak, president of Honeywell’s Environmental and Combustion Controls. “We’ve challenged the limits of what’s possible today with combustion equipment. By evolving configurable safety and programmable logic into one single, modular platform, we are making it simpler to offer differentiated combustion solutions more quickly, easily and cost effectively.”
The platform works across many applications including commercial and industrial boilers, make-up air, process heating, burner control, automotive paint booths, kilns and ovens.
“Based on the simplicity of SLATE’s design, engineering firms can trim programming time from months to weeks with one system, fewer components and limitless flexibility to achieve the range of control needed from the simplest to most complex combustion systems,” said Billal Hammoud, general manager of Honeywell’s Combustion Control business.
“Unique features make SLATE relevant for a variety of markets, allowing engineering firms to target a broader range of industrial and commercial applications because they can reduce the costly learning curve typically required with new products, protocols and programming. With SLATE, they get one solution designed for many applications.”
Unique features of Honeywell SLATE include:

• Integrated universal power and communications that support multiple voltages and communication platforms meeting nearly all global commercial and industrial requirements.
• Burner management that is easily configured for a variety of applications.
• UL-certified to published and recognised national safety standards.
• Flame amplifiers that meet virtually any application need.
• Fuel-air ratio control with integrated 02 trim and a wide range of torque options for greater energy efficiency.
• Limit controls that allow targeting of high-temperature applications.
• Expanded annunciation that enables faster troubleshooting.
• Universal expanded digital and analogue I/O that provides ultimate flexibility, using only the modules the application requires and choose how to use them with simple wiring commands.
• Customisable touchscreen display that allows design of differentiated customer interfaces base on the application.
