How to use setpoints for controlling the zone return temperature?

I'm modelling a single zone air loop which is cooled using a cooling coil. I can use a setpoint to control the temperature which leaves the cooling coil, but I'm more interested in controlling the temperature that leaves the zone (and thus enters the cooling coil).

I tried:

  • Putting a "SetpointManager:Scheduled" on this node, but I get an error that not all nodes have a setpoint attached.

  • Putting setpoint manager on the leaving and entering nodes, but then the entering node overwrites the leaving node.

Anybody who knows how to solve this?
