Mike,

you should connect the output control function of the controller to its own
input control function (Input number 4). Also, you should increase the value
of parameter 1, to the default value at least (the influence of this
parameter is explained at the type 2 documentation, I recommend you to read
it, together with the generic section for controllers at the trnsys help)

Regards

Angel
