Re: [TRNSYS-users] PID Type 23 # of Warnings Exceeded



Hi

 

General guide:

 

Set the PID integral time equal to simulation time step (10-20 minutes is a good step)

Set gain very small

Set derivation equal 0

 

Then have a look on the result, you have to play with gain (increase gradually) first to get good response then change derivation to stabilise the response.

That is not a rule but mostly does the job.

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] PID Type 23 # of Warnings Exceeded

 

I have a PID controller (type 23) controlling the operative temperature of a room modeled in Type 56 through the an active layer floor heating system, where I control the water supply temperature and have a constant mass flow rate.  I tried to base it of the floor heating example TRNSYS provides in the feedback control example folder.  When I run the simulation, I get an error saying that the number of warnings allowed for a simulation has been exceeded.  How can I fix this?  Here is how I have my controller connected to the multizone building model:

 

 Equation Editor                    PID                        Type 56


T_operative_set=23  ---------> Setpoint

 

                                      Control Signal   --------->   T_supply

 

                                Controlled Variable  <--------    TOPLW  (long wave operative temperature)

 

 

Thanks for any help
