Hi, I defined a thermal zone and defined a fan coil system for it as follows
this.BoilerHotWater = new OpenStudio.BoilerHotWater(Model);
this.BoilerHotWater.setName("BoilerHotwater(" + SystemDrySpaceCollection.Id.ToString() + ")");
this.BoilerHotWater.setNominalThermalEfficiency(0.8);

this.HeatingSetpointManagerScheduled.setName("SetpointManagerScheduled(" + SystemDrySpaceCollection.Id.ToString() + ")");
this.HeatingSetpointManagerScheduled.addToNode(this.HeatingPlantLoop.supplyOutletNode());
this.HeatingSetpointManagerScheduled.setControlVariable("Temperature");
this.ChillerAbsorption = new OpenStudio.ChillerAbsorption(Model);
this.ChillerAbsorption.setName("Chiller(" + SystemDrySpaceCollection.Id.ToString() + ")");
this.ChillerAbsorption.setSizingFactor(1);
this.ChillerAbsorption.setMaximumPartLoadRatio(1.1);
this.ChillerAbsorption.setChilledWaterOutletTemperatureLowerLimit(7);

this.CondenserPlantLoop.setMinimumLoopTemperature(30);
this.CondenserPlantLoop.addDemandBranchForComponent(this.ChillerAbsorption);
this.CondenserPlantLoop.addSupplyBranchForComponent(this.CoolingTowerSingleSpeed);
this.CondenserPumpVariableSpeed = new OpenStudio.PumpVariableSpeed(Model);
this.CondenserPumpVariableSpeed.setName("CondenserPumpVariableSpeed(" + SystemDrySpaceCollection.Id.ToString() + ")");
this.CondenserPumpVariableSpeed.addToNode(this.CondenserPlantLoop.supplyInletNode());
this.CoolingCoil = new OpenStudio.CoilCoolingWater(Model);

this.FanConstantVolume,
this.CoolingCoil,
this.HeatingCoil);
this.ZoneHVACFourPipeFanCoil.setName("FanCoil(" + SystemDrySpaceCollection.Id.ToString() + ")");
for (int d = 0; d < DrySpaceCollection.Collection.Count; d++)
{
if (DrySpaceCollection.Collection[d].Design.SystemNumber == i)
{
this.ZoneHVACFourPipeFanCoil.addToThermalZone(OpenStudioCollection.Instance.Design.DrySpace.GetDrySpaceById(DrySpaceCollection.Id));
}
}
But I encountered this error during simulation
** Severe ** DualSetPointWithDeadBand: Effective heating set-point higher than effective cooling set-point - increase deadband if using unmixed air model
** ~~~ ** occurs in Zone=THERMALZONE FOR DRYSPACE(1) During Warmup & Sizing, Environment=SUMMERDESIGNDAY, at Simulation time=07/21 00:00 - 00:10

I will send you the osm file. Thank you for your attention
