EXAMPLES
This chapter describes applications that combine multiple icons to perform a control
function. Applications are arranged alphabetically and include the following:
Attenuator Use the MAT, SWI, and DIF control icons calculate a good approximation of a mean
value, in this example, an outdoor air temperature.
Average Value Calculation Use the SWI, MAT, CYC, and EVC icons to calculate an average outdoor air
temperature over three days.
Floating Limits and
Alarm Suppression Fixed alarm limits for some sensors, such as a supply air sensor, are not
meaningful, so it is useful to adapt the limits to a setpoint within an adjustable
interval. Also, it is often useful to suppress nuisance alarms. Use WIA, ADD, and
DIF to float limits and suppress alarms.
Operating Pump Switchover Use RIA, SWI, and MAT to switch pump operation between two pumps dependent
on hours of operation.
Optimized Start/Stop Calculate optimized values for starting and stopping air conditioning systems.
Systems should start at the latest possible time and should stop as soon as possible
to save energy. This application uses the EOV, MAT, and SWI icons and may use
the ZEB icon to determine operating mode (heating or cooling).
Positioning Signal Limitation Use the MIN and MAX icons to limit the range of the output value sent to a
positioning signal.
Setpoint Adjustments Use the SWI, DIF, and MAT control icons to control the setpoint of a actuator
depending on time of day.
System Regulation This application regulates a partial air conditioning system with mixed air dampers,
an air heater, and an air cooler. Setpoint management using the ZEB statement
followed by PID controllers regulates this system. This application uses the SWI,
ZEB, MAX, MIN, PID, and AVR icons.
Trend Buffer Control In many cases, trend logs include points whose values change frequently. Over a
lengthy time interval, these frequent variations in signal exhaust the capacity of the
trend buffer. You can use CYC and SWI to control output to the trend buffer.
Summary Table The following table cross-references the icons used in these applications.
