Sensors are useful to read system parameters when doing simulations.
...
In this sensor you can view a multitude of different graphs. These are:
...
The sensor base circuit also has five control line outputs. You can read out each of these five parameters to used use them in you your control strategy. The temperature measurements are sampled every 600 seconds by default. This value is adjustable by the user.

Sensor abbreviation | Sensor output parameter | Unit |
|---|---|---|
Tx | Supply temperature | °C |
V | Volume flow rate | m³/h |
Ty | Return temperature | °C |
dp | Pressure delta | Pa |
Q | Heat flow | W |

Tip: if you want to work with other units in the control strategy (e.g. l/s instead of m³/h for volume flow rate), you can easily convert the output signal by multiplying it with a conversion constant (e.g. divide by 3.6 to convert from m³/h to l/s). |
