[TRNSYS-users] PID controller in TRNSYS developer

Dear all,

    I have a question about PID controller in TRNSYS for its developer.

    Which expert knows PID controller in TRNSYS developer? Or Which expert
could pass me the source code of PID controller or its internal algorithm
etc.? I guess PID controller in TRNSYS is based on empirical equation or
iterative algorithm. Since there is *very weird* simulation results i.e. I
set the set point CO2 concentration 1000 ppm as PID controller's set point;
its control signal links to Opening Factor (OF) of windows; indoor CO2
concentration links to PID's controlled variable. However, when indoor CO2
concentration is less than set point 1000 ppm, PID begins to activate OF
i.e. windows are open. But based on PID principle, as we know, if CO2
concentration is not getting to set point 1000 ppm, at this time windows
are open will result in *the ERROR* (between the set point and actual
indoor CO2 concentration)* increasing. *So I'm puzzled! Please PID
controller in TRNSYS developer or other experts explain this weird
phenomenon!
   Many thanks in advance!
