blockAutomaticTwilightControl

Sunshade control for room with the aim to backup heating/cooling of the room from sunset to sunrise.

Extends from BuildingControlLib.BuildingControl.VDI3813.Interfaces.Partial.PartialFunction (Superclass for all function blocks to provide graphics and enforce implementation of functionality).

Information

Overview

Block that implements function of "Automatic twilight control" from VDI 3813 [1, section 6.5.13, p. 51 - 53].

Functional Description

"The function Automatic twilight control (RA-FL section 6, column 12; informative function block Figure 34) allows sunshading equipment to be positioned in accordance with outdoor brightness. For instance, it allows the closing of the sunshade during night hours in order to, reduce cooling down via the windows or reduce light emission by the building. To this end, the application function processes the input information about the illuminance outside the building, originating from the sensor function Brightness measurement, and generates actuating information for assigned actuator functions of the type Sunshade actuator."[1, section 6.5.13, p. 51 - 53]
