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: <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>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).
