[EnergyPlus_Support] Need help for ExternalInterface:Actuator [1 Attachment]





Hi all,


I'm new in EnergyPlus. I'm trying to understand how to use the ExternalInterface:Actuator features doing some small simulations. Now EnergyPlus is reporting me this error message:


 **FATAL:Errors found in processing Energy Management System input. Preceding condition causes termination.


I'm working with the following simulation layout:

1) an idf file describes a single zone building with an Ideal Load Air System;

2) a matlab file sends to EnergyPlus the "Air Mass Flow Rate" according to a given law.


In the idf file the External Interface and the Ideal Load Air System are configured as follow:


ExternalInterface,

    PtolemyServer;           !- Name of External Interface


ExternalInterface:Actuator,

    Block1_Zone1_HVAC,   !- Name

    Block1:Zone1:HVAC,   !- Actuated Component Unique Name

    Air Mass Flow Rate,       !- Actuated Component Type

    Control Status,           !- Actuated Component Control Type

     ;   !- Initial Value


Note: I'm not sure about the "Actuated Component Control Type" field because in the EMS Application Guide I can't find any indication. I tried many strings, but nothing changes.


ZoneHVAC:IdealLoadsAirSystem,

    Block1:Zone1:HVAC,     !- Name

    ,                         !- Availability Schedule Name

    Node Block1:Zone1 In,   !
