modelWeeklySchedule
Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Icons.DiscreteBlock (Graphical layout of discrete block component icon).
Information
This model interprets a schedule file and performs a weekly, cyclic extrapolation on the source data. An example for a schedule entry is
double tab1(3,2) # For week-day, output 1 between 7:00 and 19:00, and 0 otherwise mon,tue,wed,thu,fri:7:00:00 1 mon,tue,wed,thu,fri:19:00:00 0 # For week-end, output always 0 sat,sun:0:00:00 0
The first row must start with double tab1 and be followed by the number of rows (excluding comments) and number of columns, whereas
the time column is considered the first column.
Lines that start with '#' are comments.
The list of week-days is separated by a comma, and ends with a colon, after which
the time format for the start is listed in the format hour:minute:second.
Week-day, hour, minute and second are optional fields, but if one of these fields is used,
the fields coming before it in the sequence (week-day, hour, minute, second) must be used too.
By default, schedules are read from the parameter data but optionally schedules can be read from a file.
The parameter columns is used to specify which columns of the table should be produced at the output y.
The first column is time, hence for the above example, set columns = {2}.
See Buildings/Resources/Data/schedule.txt for an example of the supported file format.
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Integer | columns | {2} | Columns of the schedule to be produced at the output y. First column is time, hence value must be 2 or larger |
| Modelica.Units.SI.Time | t_offset | 0 | Timestamp that corresponds to midnight from Sunday to Monday |
| Data source | |||
| Boolean | tableOnFile | false | = true, if table is defined on file; false if defined through parameter data |
| String | fileName | "" | Filename |
| String | data | "double tab1(3,2) # For week-day, output 1 between 7:00 and 19:00, and 0 otherwise mon,tue,wed,thu,fri:7:00:00 1 mon,tue,wed,thu,fri:19:00:00 0 # For week-end, output always 0. Note that this line is redundant in this example. sat,sun:0:00:00 0" | String data with weekly schedule |
Connectors
