Re: [TRNSYS-users] PID Controller



Jace,
 There is no fundamental incompatibility. Type647 expects a value between 0 and 1 and the way you have your PID set up, it sounds like it is outputting a value between 0 and 1. Bear in mind that Type647 does not automatically divert the remainder of the flow to the other port. If you have two outlets and all the flow that does not go one direction automatically goes the other way, you might consider using Type11-f. And no, this is not the first time I have ever recommended using a standard Type in place of a TESS Type... :-) 
Best,
 David

Dear TRNSys users,

 

I am currently using a PID Controller to modulate the water flow in a chilling installation. The control signal varies from 0 to 1 accordingly to the temperature of the air I want to control but it does not have any impact on the Type647 valve I have used to divert the flow. I therefore have no regulation at all (waterflow remains constant). Do you know if there is any incompatibility between these 2 types (no message of compatibility problem between output and input is shown)?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Best regards
