I saw this done once as a demonstration at Johnson Controls
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.jci.com">www.jci.com</a>) but I do not know if the work was ever written up. The
process of connecting a TRNSYS simulation to actual equipment is not
standard practice and I do not know of any publications on the
subject. In the case that I saw, the simulation/emulation was run
from TRNSYS. The researchers had constructed circuitry that had some
digital I/O ports and an analog to digital converter. A building was
simulated in TRNSYS as was the controller the controller component
commanded real world equipment ( a fairly simple small residential
air handler in this case). The TRNSYS control signals were passed to
the digital I/O ports and analog signals from sensors in the
equipment came back into the TRNSYS simulation through the analog to
digital converter. I'm afraid I do not recall more; as I mentioned,
this was all very customized and not something that could very well
be laid out as instructions to follow.<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
Is there any tutorial or guide about the EMULATOR System with
TRNSYS (Be better with TRNSYS 17). <br>
<br>
Emulator system is arranged in a way that part of the system is
real (eg. ground source heat pump), and part of the system is
simulated by computor (eg, Building part simulated by TRNSYS
17). There will be I/O interface and communication software
between the real system and computor. <br>
<br>
I hope that there will be some guide or tutorial about the
installation, I/O intrerface, communication software, clock
arrangement of EMULATOR system with TRNSYS 17. <br>
<br>
Thank you very much.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Sunliang Cao <br>
