<br>Thanks very much for Juan Rodríguez Santiago and David Bradley's information.<br><br>Juan: Thanks for the PEBBLE Project information. I will contact you if we meet any practical problem during the installation of our emulator system.<br><br>By the way, during this week, we have also obtained a report written by the participants of IEA ECBCS Annex 17:<br>Karki S (ed.), "Development of Emulation Methods", Finland, VTT, Laboratory of Heating and Ventilation, Research Notes 1514, 1993, 134 pp. + app.<br><br>There are some introductions and guides about the Emulator system with several simulation softwares, including TRNSYS. That is the TRNSYS version in the beginning of 1990s, but I think many principles will be the same. Just mention this information for those who are also looking for the relative reference for the Emulator System.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br>Sunliang Cao <br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:46:48 +0200<br>From: Juan.Rodriguez.Santiago@ibp.fraunhofer.de<br>To: trnsys-users@cae.wisc.edu<br>Subject: Re: [TRNSYS-users] Emulator system with TRNSYS<br><br>

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>Regards,<br> David<br><br>On 3/27/2012 02:46, SUNLIANG CAO wrote: </p><div><p class="ecxMsoNormal">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).
