Generally, a boiler is used to heat water by using combustion heat and heat generated by burning it using fuel, coal or gas as fuel, or supplying electricity to a heater, and supplying hot water to various heating facilities In the case of a domestic boiler, hot water is supplied to the piping installed on the floor of the room or the like, and is used for supplying hot water through a water pipe or the like.
When the heating mode is operated in the normal heating / hot water boiler, the circulation pump is operated to transfer the heating water, and the heating water is heated in the main heat exchanger and transferred to the heating load (that is, the heating pipe) Heating is done.
In addition, the supply of the hot water blocks the path from the three sides to the heating load side and opens the path to the hot water heat exchanger side to transfer the warm water heated in the main heat exchanger to the hot water heat exchanger side, The hot water can be supplied to the user.
The boiler having such a construction is installed with the capacity of the boiler being determined according to the appropriate level of the place where the heating is required. That is, if there are several rooms requiring heating, the capacity of the boiler is determined so that the heating can be supplied based on the entire room.
In addition, the boiler is provided with a frame rod (FR) for detecting the flame of the burner as an electrical signal, a water level detecting sensor for detecting the water level in the water tank by an electric signal, and a ground fault detecting sensor Various sensors are provided.
Each of these sensors must have an inherent impedance. For example, in the case of a frame load, it should have an impedance of 800 kΩ to 1.5 MΩ, a water level sensor should have an impedance of 390 kΩ to 700 kΩ, Should have an impedance of ~ 10 k ?.
On the other hand, in various boilers, there is a problem that sensing of various sensors using the ground is not smooth due to the leakage amount of the ground current or the problem of the ground resistance.
Conventionally, impedance is measured for various sensors (that is, the impedance between the ground and ground GND is detected for each sensor) according to the field conditions, and impedance matching There is an inconvenience of performing the work directly or performing the grounding work again.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling a ground impedance of various sensors in a micom of a boiler provided with a frame rod (FR) sensing various signals through a ground, various sensors such as a water level detecting sensor and a ground fault detecting sensor, In the boiler, when the power is supplied to the boiler or when the operation switch is turned "on ", the microcomputer detects the impedance of each sensor Detecting an impedance for each of the sensors through the provided impedance detecting unit; Comparing the detected impedance of each sensor with the inherent impedance of the sensors and calculating the difference; Determining whether the impedance difference calculated by comparing the impedance of each of the detected sensors with the intrinsic impedance of the sensors is out of a predetermined range from the intrinsic impedance of the sensor; If the difference between the current detection impedance for each sensor and the inherent impedance difference of the corresponding sensor does not exceed the predetermined range, an impedance correction unit having a shape connected in series to each sensor is used to determine the distance between the earth ground and the ground GND And correcting the impedance so that the impedance is equal to the inherent impedance of the sensor.
If the microcomputer determines that the difference between the current detection impedance for each sensor and the inherent impedance difference of the sensor is out of a predetermined range, the sensor name and the sensor indicate that an impedance error has occurred in the sensor Is further performed.
In addition, when the current detection impedance of the specific sensor and the inherent impedance difference are out of a predetermined range, the step of stopping all the functional components in the boiler and stopping the combustion operation so that the combustion operation is not performed is further performed.
