[EnergyPlus_Support] BCVTB - energyPlus ExternalInterface:Actuator



Hi all,

actually I want to couple Simulink with energyPlus, using the BCVTB. 
I know there is one example for a simple Room, but this example use the external interface:Schedule and I want to use the externalInterface:Actuator. 
I found in BCVTB a example, which controls the shading actuation signal in the energyPlus model. 
In the idf file is the externalInterface:actuator configured.

ExternalInterface:Actuator,
    Zn001_Wall001_Win001_Shading_Deploy_Status,  !- Name
    Zn001:Wall001:Win001,    !- Actuated Component Unique Name
    Window Shading Control,  !- Actuated Component Type
    Control Status,          !- Actuated Component Control Type
     ;                       ! initial value

But I don't understand where is the "real" actuator. How works the link between the externalInterace:actuator and the object/component in the idf file?

Thanking you in advance.
Marion
