Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Slat Angle using EMS



Hi, you can use slat angle in EMS.  Do you check your edd file which should list it as an actuator? double check your edd file; make sure in "type of slat angle for control for blinds" field of WindowProperty:shadingControl, you select "scheduled slat angle" .

Hi all,

I'm trying to control the Slat Angle of a WindowMaterial:Blind using EMS. The EMS input object I used for the actuator is:

EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator,
    AT_Inlet_Slat_Act,       !- Name
    AT_Inlet,                !- Actuated Component Unique Name
    Window Shading Control,  !- Actuated Component Type
    Slat Angle;              !- Actuated Component Control Type

However when I run the simulation I get the following error:

   ** Severe  ** Invalid Actuated Component Control Type =SLAT ANGLE
   **   ~~~   ** Entered in EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator=AT_INLET_SLAT_ACT
   **   ~~~   ** Control Type not found
   **   ~~~   ** Review edd file for valid component control types.

From what I understand and based on the EMS Application Guide page 22, I can use the Slat Angle as an Actuated Component Control Type.
"If the shading device is a blind, there is also a control type called "Slat Angle." This angle control is a continuous numeric value from 0.0 to 180.0. The angle is defined as between the glazing system's outward normal and the slat's outward normal (see the diagram in the input output reference under WindowMaterial:Blind)".

Can someone please tell me why I get this error?

Thanks
