[TRNSYS-users] Trnsys 'counter'

[David Bradley]

I am not sure that Type93 will work in this case - it holds on to an 
input value for a set amount of time and then releases it. If I 
understand correctly, you want to hold on to a particular temperature 
value until such time as that value changes by more than 3? After that, 
what does the controller do? What causes the pump to turn off again? If 
you are trying to turn on the pump once a temperature difference gets to 
3K, I think that the simple Type2 differential controller might work. It 
simply compares two values and makes a decision based on their difference.
regards,
 David
