Operators

Activator

This BC creates a 1 or 0 based on the relevant input signal. It can be used as a 2-point measuring control strategy for a thermal store.

Comparison

This BC creates a 1 if the input in A is larger than B and a 0 if B is larger than A.

Difference

This BC is a simple mathematical difference between A and B.

Hysteresis and integrator

This BC uses a hysteresis or integrator function on the input signal.

Minimum & Maximum

This BC gives either the minimum or the maximum of all the signals connected on the input.

Multiply

This BC multiplies all the input signals connected.

Negative

This BC makes the signal negative.

Piecewise linear function & function expression

This BC uses functions on the input signal, which can be changed to fit the needs of the project.

Scaling and truncating

This BC allows for scaling of values.

Sum

This base circuits sums all the inputs together.

Low pass circuit

The Low pass circuit puts a time delay on a value change.

Delay

This BC puts a delay on the signal. This can be used to let a pump run 5 minutes longer for example.

Loop Back

This BC is necessary if you want to loop a signal back (in the next timestep)
Here is an example in which the resulting signal to control the boiler is looped back towards the controller:
