PlantEquipmentOperation:OutdoorDryBulb does not work

PlantEquipmentOperation:OutdoorDryBulb does not work.

My model has one CoolingTower:SingleSpeed and one FluidCooler:SingleSpeed in parallel in a condenser water loop. I want to switch their operation according to the outdoor air dry-bulb temperature. For example, FluidCooler:SingleSpeed runs only when OA DB <= 15ºCDB, and CoolingTower:SingleSpeed runs only when OA DB > 15ºCDB. I tried using PlantEquipmentOperation:OutdoorDryBulb to model the control, but both run at the same time.

It's ok, I modelled the above control by EMS. I think some Classes are seldom used and bugs are not reported.
