kitControl-SetpointLoadShed
This component provides a convenient way to implement load shedding strategies. It causes a specified setpoint to be raised or lowered by a specific amount in response to an input link, that enables the SetpointLoadShed component. Generally, this component solves the problem often found in temperature control sequences where shutting down an output directly may be complicated by other control dependencies. By changing the setpoint based on a shed request, the control sequence directs the output when to shut down and maintains the interdependencies.
SetpointLoadShed is available in the Energy folder of the kitControl palette.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | true (default) or false and null definition | Turns changing the setpoint on and off. true adjusts the setpoint by the offset value. false ignores the setpoint. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure theIn value. |
| Setpoint In | number of degrees of temperature (defaults to 0.0 F) and null definition | Displays the normal setpoint value to be adjusted by this
object. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure theIn value. |
| Htg Offset | signed (+ or -) number of degrees of temperature (defaults to 6.0 F) and null definition | Defines the amount by which to adjust the setpoint when
in heating mode. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure theIn value. |
| Clg Offset | signed (+ or -) number of degrees of temperature (defaults to 3.0 F) and null definition | Defines the amount by which to adjust the setpoint when
in cooling mode. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure theIn value. |
| Mode In | StatusEnum (drop-down list) with three options and null definition | Selects the current need: Off, Heat, Cool. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure theIn value. |
| Offset in Effect | true or false (default) and null definition | Indicates if the Setpoint Out property
value has been adjusted. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure theIn value. |
| Setpoint Out | number of degrees of temperature and null definition | Displays the adjusted setpoint value, if active, otherwise
it passes through to the original setpoint. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure theIn value. |
