Michele,
   Everything that you noted down in your problem description looks 
correct. You do not need to put all the EES variables into the outputs, 
only the ones that you want EES to put onto the clipboard and pass back 
to TRNSYS (so 1 in your case). The Type66 parameter for the number of 
expected outputs has to match the number of values that EES places on 
the clipboard of course but it sounds as though you already checked 
that. One thing that concerns me a bit is the use of the "," as a 
decimal separator. It is possible that TRNSYS is interpreting a result 
of 123,45 pasted to the clipboard as two numbers: 123.0 and 45.0.
kind regards,
  David
