kitControl-SetpointOffset

This component provides setpoint control for electrical demand limiting applications. You use it with the ElectricalDemandLimit and ShedControl components.

SetpointOffset is available in the Energy folder of the kitControl palette

Figure 1. SetpointOffset properties


PropertyValueDescription
FacetsConfig Facets window (defaults to Fahrenheit temperature for units, a single decimal place, negative infinity for minimum and positive infinity for maximum)

Selects units and configures how the value displays:

units defines the unit of measure from acceleration to volumetric flow.

precision defines the number of decimal places.

min and max refer to minimum and maximum temperatures.

Shed Level High Limitnumber between 2 and 32 (defaults to 32) based on the facetsDefines the maximum offset.
Shed Level Low Limitnumber between 1 and 31 (defaults to 1) based on the facetsDefines the level at which the offset begins.
Shed Inhibittrue or false (defaults to false)Turns adjustment of the setpoint on and off:

true disables the shedding ability.

false causes the setpoint to be adjusted by the offset.

Setpoint Innumber of degrees (defaults to zero (0.0))Displays the source setpoint value linked in to this component.
Htg Offsetnumber of degrees (defaults to zero (0.0))Defines the maximum setpoint (plus or minus) offset if heating is active and in heating mode.
Clg Offsetnumber of degrees (defaults to zero (0.0))Defines minimum setpoint (plus or minus) offset if cooling is active and in cooling mode.
Mode InOff (default) and OnSelects the current need: Off, Heat, Cool.
Shed Levelnumber of degrees (defaults to zero (0))Displays the shed level that is in effect.
Offset In Effecttrue or false (default) and null definitionIndicates 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 the In value.

Setpoint Outnumber of degrees (defaults to zero (0))Displays the adjusted setpoint if it is active. Otherwise, it pass through the original setpoint.
