Limiting PMV value when using zonecontrol:thermostat:thermalcomfort

My goal is controlling HVAC system(In this case, It's Low Temp Radiant Floor) based on PMV.

So I searched for it, and found out that I can achieve it using Zonecontrol:Thermostat:Thermalcontrol.

https://unmethours.com/question/3378/how-to-set-the-thermostat-temperature-of-a-zone-according-to-the-pmv-range-of-05-and-05/

https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/8-4/input-output-reference/group-zone-controls-thermostats.html

Those two sites are the ones that I have referenced.

So Apparently I have set every schedule that I need, simulation works, but I want to set upper and below limit for PMV Value.(upper for 0.5, below for -0.5)

First I thought setting ScheduleTypeLimit -0.5~+0.5 and setting PMV heating value to 0 would do the job but It didn't.

It still goes below -0.5. What would be the solution for this problem?
