Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] BCVTB - energyPlus ExternalInterface:Actuator

FYI.

Marion

This ExternalInterface:Actuator actuates the component
Zn001:Wall001:Win001, which has a shade. See also
http://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/bcvtb/latest/doc/manual/tit-EnePluCon.xhtml#d4e669
and the user reference guide EMS_Application_Guide.pdf that comes with
the E+ installation.

The objects ExternalInterface:Actuator work the same way as
EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator.

Best,

Michael Wetter

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
