EMS actuator holdover value, not revert
Hi All,
I am working on injecting an EMS program into existing files to alter the schedule values based on another schedule (OS). If OS is greater than 0, I want to 0 out all these other schedules. This works, however, when OS is now 0 again, the controlled schedules remain 0, and do not revert to following their inputs. Any idea how to revert to the original values at their corresponding timesteps?
ENERGYMANAGEMENTSYSTEM:PROGRAM,
Outage_Controls, !- Name
IF OS > 0, !- Program Line 1
SET living_zone_Thermostat_Schedule = 0, !- Program Line 2
SET lighting_interior = 0, !- Program Line 3
SET clothes_dryer = 0, !- Program Line 4
SET ceiling_fan = 0, !- Program Line 5
SET clothes_washer_power = 0, !- Program Line 6
SET plug_loads = 0, !- Program Line 7
SET cooking_range = 0, !- Program Line 8
SET baths = 0, !- Program Line 9
SET showers = 0, !- Program Line 10
SET sinks = 0, !- Program Line 11
SET clothes_dryer_exhaust = 0, !- Program Line 12
SET clothes_washer = 0, !- Program Line 13
SET lighting_exterior = 0, !- Program Line 14
ENDIF; !- Program Line 15
