Bug description:
I believe there is some missing and incorrect data in the FUEL_SYSTEM example part for the Module Burner System example.
The Burner system part shows two burners and 6 valves, three to each burner. no issue there.
The FUEL_SYSTEM section description requires there be a consumer for each burner. There seems to me that only one is provided:
Burner.1 = Name:Burner# Index:1
I believe there should be a second one, plus a name change for Burner1:
Burner.1 = Name:Burner1# Index:1
Burner.2 = Name:Burner2# Index:2
Two tanks next - no problem
Skip to valves - naming is not as i would expect
Valve.1 = Name:TankValve1
Valve.2 = Name:TankValve2
probably being picky but - easier for me to make other names
Valve.1 = Name:Tank1Valve
Valve.2 = Name:Tank2Valve
Now there is only one burner valve. I believe there should at least be a second one, but I am unsure if there is a need for the other four valves described in the burner section.
I will assume we only need to add one (as the other are in parallel with the pilot one(s)) - and add a numeric suffix that is missing.
Valve.3 = Name:Burner1Valve
Valve.4 = Name:Burner2Valve
The junction - only one is ok, but the junction input/output lines would need updating based on all the other changes I suggest.
The lines would also have to be
Line.1 = Name:Tank1ToValve #Source:Tank1 #Destination:Tank1Valve
Line.2 = Name:Tank2ToValve #Source:Tank2 #Destination:Tank2Valve
Line.3 = Name:Tank1ValveToJunction #Source:Tank1Valve #Destination:Junction
Line.4 = Name:Tank2ValveToJunction #Source:Tank1Valve #Destination:Junction
Line.5 = Name:JunctionToBurner1Valve #Source:Junction #Destination:Burner1Valve
Line.6 = Name:JunctionToBurner2Valve #Source:Junction #Destination:Burner2Valve
Line.7 = name:Burner1ValveToBurner1 #Source:Burner1Valve #Destination:Burner1
Line.8 = name:Burner2ValveToBurner2 #Source:Burner2Valve #Destination:Burner2
And to complete the junction
Junction.1 = Name:Junction #InputOnlyLines:Tank1ValveToJunction, Tank2ValveToJunction #OutputOnlyLines:JunctionToBurner1Valve, JunctionToBurner2Valve.
The triggers seems to half use a second burner as there is a
#EffectTrue:CloseValve.BurnerValve2, CloseValve.BurnerValve1
Trigger.1 = Name:“Autostart” #Condition:Autostart_Enabled #EffectTrue:OpenValve.Tank1Valve, OpenValve.Tank2Valve, OpenValve.Burner1Valve, OpenValve.Burner2Valve
Trigger.2 = Name:“Autoshutdown” #Condition:Autoshutdown_Enabled #EffectTrue:CloseValve.Tank1Valve, CloseValve.Tank2Valve, CloseValve.Burner1Valve, CloseValve.Burner2Valve
The only outstanding question is the need for the other 4 valves in the Fuel System section. Is that required or not?
EDIT: And the docs are missing the pilotlightflowrate description.
