Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] EMS actuator causing fatal error in V8.1





Check the edd file to see if that variable name is still correct. If you don't have an edd file you need to still code in the "verbose" statements into your code.

Hi all,


Using release V7.0, I setup a "Zone Temperature Control" actuator with "Cooling Setpoint" as its control type to control the setpoints of a zone with an ILAS (my setpoints change with every timestep and these in turn depend on values in a Schedule:File in case you're wondering why I'm using this actuator in the first place). There were no severe errors or warnings in the results. I've been converting the exact same idf file to work with every new release ever since including V8.0 and was having no problems. However, when converting to V8.1 I got the following fatal error:


   ** Severe  ** Invalid Actuated Component Type =ZONE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
   **   ~~~   ** Entered in EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator=PDEC_ZN_SP
   **   ~~~   ** Component Type not found

   ************* Fatal error -- final processing.  Program exited before simulations began.  See previous error messages.

   ************* EnergyPlus Sizing Error Summary. During Sizing: 0 Warning; 0 Severe Errors.
   ************* EnergyPlus Terminated--Fatal Error Detected. 0 Warning; 3 Severe Errors; Elapsed Time=00hr 00min  1.48sec

I've checked the "Addressed Issues" of release V8.1 to see whether this actuator has been renamed or replaced but found neither to be the case.

Is this a Bug in V8.1 or am I missing something here?

Your help is much appreciated.
