FS700W-1 Fireye Software

Overview

The Fireye FS700W-1 is a dedicated Windows-based communication software package designed for industrial flame monitoring systems. It facilitates seamless communication between a personal computer and Fireye 45FS1 or 45UVFS1 series flame scanners. As a digital diagnostic tool, it allows operators to remotely monitor, program, and analyze flame signatures, transitioning traditional burner safety from discrete components to sophisticated microprocessor-based management.

Features

• Real-time data collection and monitoring of flame scanner status and performance.
• Graphical flame analysis providing visual representations of flame quality and characteristics.
• Remote programming capabilities allowing users to configure scanner settings from a control room.
• User-friendly “faceplate” displays that depict analog signals, such as flame strength, via intuitive bar graphs.
• Historical data trending to track shutdowns, signal intensity, and gain adjustments over time.
• Event logging that records critical state changes, including Flame ON and Flame OFF transitions.

Specifications

• Model Number: FS700W-1
• Software Format: CD-ROM
• Operating System Compatibility: Microsoft Windows
• Compatible Hardware: Fireye 45FS1 and 45UVFS1 flame scanners
• Interface Requirements: Typically requires an RS485 to RS232 or USB converter (e.g., UC485 or IC485) for PC connection
• Communication Protocol: Proprietary Fireye communication link with OPC server interface options for DCS/BMS integration

Applications

The FS700W-1 software is primarily used in commercial and industrial combustion environments, such as power stations, refineries, and large-scale heating plants. It is an essential tool for engineers and operators who require centralized supervision of multiple burners. By providing an OPC interface, it allows for the integration of flame scanner data into plant-wide Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or Burner Management Systems (BMS), ensuring high levels of safety and operational efficiency in complex industrial heating systems.
