kitControl-SetpointLoadShed

This component provides a convenient way to implement load shedding strategies. It causes a specified setpoint to be raised or lowered by a specific amount in response to an input link, that enables the SetpointLoadShed component. Generally, this component solves the problem often found in temperature control sequences where shutting down an output directly may be complicated by other control dependencies. By changing the setpoint based on a shed request, the control sequence directs the output when to shut down and maintains the interdependencies.

SetpointLoadShed is available in the Energy folder of the kitControl palette.

Property	Value	Description
Enabled	`true` (default) or `false` and null definition	Turns changing the setpoint on and off. `true` adjusts the setpoint by the offset value. `false` ignores the setpoint. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
Setpoint In	number of degrees of temperature (defaults to 0.0 F) and null definition	Displays the normal setpoint value to be adjusted by this object. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
Htg Offset	signed (+ or -) number of degrees of temperature (defaults to 6.0 F) and null definition	Defines the amount by which to adjust the setpoint when in heating mode. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
Clg Offset	signed (+ or -) number of degrees of temperature (defaults to 3.0 F) and null definition	Defines the amount by which to adjust the setpoint when in cooling mode. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
Mode In	StatusEnum (drop-down list) with three options and null definition	Selects the current need: Off, Heat, Cool. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
Offset in Effect	`true` or `false` (default) and null definition	Indicates if the `Setpoint Out` property value has been adjusted. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
Setpoint Out	number of degrees of temperature and null definition	Displays the adjusted setpoint value, if active, otherwise it passes through to the original setpoint. When null is checked, the value displayed defaults to the incoming value from the device. If you remove the check mark you can configure the`In` value.
