kitControl-ShedControl
This component receives inputs from a primary (network) EDL source and a local (secondary) EDL source (separate ElectricalDemandLimit objects) that specify the number of load levels that should be shed. The Secondary Shed Level backs up when the Primary Shed Level is not available
ShedControl is available in the Energy folder of the kitControl palette, along with related objects.
ShedControl has StatusBoolean outputs for up to 16 contiguous levels, as specified in the Number Levels property. A Status slot provides an output message to indicate this component’s state in reference to the overall demand limiting control scheme.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number Levels | number from 1–32 (defaults to 16) | Defines |
| Shed Enable | true (default) or false | Turns execution of this component on and off. |
| Primary Shed Level | number (defaults to 0.0) and null definition | Defines the input to link to from an EDL component. Typically,
this would be a component on the network. 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. |
| Secondary Shed Level | number (defaults to 0.0) and null definition | Defines an input to from a secondary (or backup) EDL component.
Typically, this would be an EDL component with a locally available
connection. The Secondary Shed level is used only if the Primary Shed
Level property is not available. 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. |
| Status (out1 through out16) | binary status values and null definitions | Reflect the current active Shed Level. For example, a Shed
Level of 3 (as indicated by the Primary Shed Level, or Secondary Shed
Level when Primary is not available) sets the first three out properties
(out1, out2, out3) to false. This false value may be used to turn
off power by linking to an appropriate control. When a restore changes
the Shed Level to 2, the out3 property returns to null, relinquishing
control to the next (out2) priority level. 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. |
