Revision history [back]

I have not run your model (since I do not have Matlab installed) but looking at your variables.cfg

I see the following

<BCVTB-variables><!--INPUT--><variable source="Ptolemy">
      <EnergyPlus schedule="OtherEqTest"/>
   </variable>

This indicates that EnergyPlus will receive values from outside (in your case from Matlab) that will be fed into an EnergyPlus schedule. However, when I look at your IDF I see the following:

ExternalInterface:Actuator,
    OtherEqTest,             !- Name
    OthEq,                   !- Actuated Component Unique Name
    Other Equipment,         !- Actuated Component Type
    Design Level;            !- Actuated Component Control Type

where OtherEqTest is defined as an Actuator as opposed to a Schedule.

This mismatch is most likely causing your system not to run properly.
