FourPipeFanCoil actuators for external control

edit

Dear All,

I'm trying to control with actuators a ZoneHVAC:FourPipeFanCoil since now I was able to control the mass flow rate with the following actuator:

EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator,
    m_42,                    !- Name
    ZONE1  FAN COIL UNIT SUPPLY FAN,  !- Actuated Component Unique Name 
    Fan,    !- Actuated Component Type System Node Setpoint
    Fan Air Mass Flow Rate; !- Actuated Component Control Type Mass Flow Rate Setpoint

I have tried to control the out temperature from the heating coil with the following actuator but I was not able to achieve it:

EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator,
    t_42,                    !- Name
    ZONE1 FAN COIL UNIT SUPPLY OUTLET,  !- Actuated Component Unique Name 
    System Node Setpoint,    !- Actuated Component Type
    Temperature Setpoint;    !- Actuated Component Control Type

Any Idea on how I can control the air temperature outlet?

I'm able to do it in an air terminal with AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:NoReheat like the following :

AirTerminal:SingleDuct:ConstantVolume:NoReheat, ZONE2 Single Duct CAV No Reheat, !- Name On 24/7, !- Availability Schedule Name Air Loop Zone Splitter Outlet Node 3, !- Air Inlet Node Name ZONE2 Single Duct CAV No Reheat Supply Outlet, !- Air Outlet Node Name 433.830000; !- Maximum Air Flow Rate {m3/s}

By controlling the flowing actuators:

EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator,
    t_41,                    !- Name
    AIR LOOP AHU HEATING COIL AIR OUTLET NODE,  !- Actuated Component Unique Name
    System Node Setpoint,    !- Actuated Component Type
    Temperature Setpoint;    !- Actuated Component Control Type

EnergyManagementSystem:Actuator,
    m_41,                    !- Name
    AIR LOOP AHU SUPPLY FAN,  !- Actuated Component Unique Name
