[TRNSYS-users] problem with control using type 2d

[David BRADLEY]

Talib,
   Type2 models a differential temperature controller. It's control 
decision is based on the difference between two values no matter what 
the magnitudes of those values are. A typical thermostat makes a control 
decision by comparing the magnitude of two values (not just the 
difference). While you can use a type2 to model a thermostat, I think it 
would be easier in your case to use Type108 (Controllers: 5-Stage Room 
thermostat.)
Regards,
  David
