<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><br></div>Egun on Carol,<br><br></div>I think there a two basic reasons for this:<br><br></div>1-The controller gets stuck due to a lack of stability of your model. Parameter 1 sets the number of oscillations that the controller can do in a single time step; if the controller changes of state while trnsys is iterating within a time step, it will never do it (change) more times than the value you have set in parameter 1, so it gets fixed when the number of changes reaches that value. I can't explain it better than it is done in the user help (at least in english), so I recommend you to carefully read the introduction in the controllers section of the mathematical reference on the trnsys help as well as type 2b section. To solve this, usually the best you can do is reduce you time step until you have a coherent behaviour of the controller.<br>
<br></div>2-The monitoring temperature is governing the controller. If the Input Control Functio (inputs tab of the proforma) exceeds the value of the parameter 2, then the controller output is set to 0. <br><br></div>I imagine that the first possibility is the one explaining that behaviour; reducing the time step is probably a good help for your model, good luck<br>
