Description
...
Activator
...
This BC creates a 1 or 0 based on the relevant input signal. This could be used as a 2-point measuring control strategy for a thermal store.
...
Comparison
...
This BC creates a 1 if the input in A is larger than B and a 0 if B is larger than A.
...
Difference
...
This BC is a simple mathematical difference between A and B.
...
Hysteris and integrator
...
These BC’s uses a Hystersis and integrator function on the input signal.
...
Minimum & Maximum
...
This BC gives the either the minimum or maximum of all the signals connected on the input
...
Multiply
...
This BC multiplies all the input signals connected.
...
Negative
...
This BC makes the signal negative.
...
Piecewise lineair function & function expression
...
These BC’s uses functions on the input signal, which can be changed to fit the needs of the project.
...
Scaling and truncating
...
This BC allows for scaling of values.
...
Sum
...
This base circuits sums all the inputs together.
...
Low pass circuit
...
The Low pass circuit puts a time delay on a value change.
...
Delay
...
This base circuits puts a delay on the signal. This can be used to let a pump run 5 minutes longer for example.
...
Loop Back
...
This BC is necessary if you want to loop a signal back (in the next timestep)
Here is an example in which the resulting signal to control the boiler is looped back towards the controller
...
The graphing tools are used to visualize different parts of the control strategy or give
