Information

This block outputs single zone status. It includes outputs as following:

  • the times for cooling-down (yCooTim) and warm-up (yWarTim) the zone,
  • THeaSetOn: the zone occupied heating setpoint,
  • yOccHeaHig: if the zone temperature is lower than the occupied heating setpoint,
  • TCooSetOn: the zone occupied cooling setpoint,
  • yHigOccCoo: if the zone temperature is higher than the occupied cooling setpoint,
  • THeaSetOff: the zone unoccupied heating setpoint,
  • yUnoHeaHig: if the zone temperature is lower than the unoccupied heating setpoint,
  • yEndSetBac: if the zone temperature is higher than the unoccupied heating setpoint with the given limit bouLim, then the zone should be out of the setback mode,
  • TCooSetOff: the zone unoccupied cooling setpoint,
  • yHigUnoCoo: if the zone temperature is higher than the unoccupied cooling setpoint,
  • yEndSetUp: if the zone temperature is lower than the unoccupied cooling setpoint with the given limit bouLim, then the zone should be out of the setup mode.
