Syntax

SSTO(zone,mode,cst,csp,est,lst,ost,esp,lsp,osp,ast,asp)

NOTE:
Valid mode values are described in the table following the parameter descriptions.

zone

SSTO zone number.

- Valid values are 1 to 5.

mode

Mode number.

- Valid entries are any combination of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 as defined in the following table.

- Mode numbers can be added together to create customized schedules for the TOD program. See the TODMOD command for more information.

cst

Calculated start time.

- This parameter is a virtual LAO point name.

- If SSTO is disabled (season = 0 in the SSTOCO command), then cst is assigned to the latest start time.

csp

Calculated stop time.

- This parameter is a virtual LAO point name.

- If SSTO is disabled (season = 0 in the SSTOCO command), then csp is assigned the latest stop time.

est

Earliest start time.

- This parameter can be a military time (7:30 p.m. = 19:30), a decimal time (7:30 p.m. = 19.50), a logical point name, or a local variable.

lst

Latest start time.

- This parameter can be a military time (7:30 p.m. = 19:30), a decimal time (7:30 p.m. = 19.50), a logical point name, or a local variable.

ost

Occupancy start time.

- This parameter can be a military time (7:30 p.m. = 19:30), a decimal time (7:30 p.m. = 19.50), a logical point name, or a local variable.

esp

Earliest stop time.

- This parameter can be a military time (7:30 p.m. = 19:30), a decimal time (7:30 p.m. = 19.50), a logical point name, or a local variable.

lsp

Latest stop time.

- This parameter can be a military time (7:30 p.m. = 19:30), a decimal time (7:30 p.m. = 19.50), a logical point name, or a local variable.

osp

Occupancy stop time.

- This parameter can be a military time (7:30 p.m. = 19:30), a decimal time (7:30 p.m. = 19.50), a logical point name, or a local variable.

ast

Total adjustment to the calculated start time. This value is changed from day-to-day.

- A decimal value or virtual LAO point type can be defined to store the adjustment value.

asp

Total adjustment to the calculated stop time. This value is changed from day to day.

- A decimal value or virtual LAO point type can be defined to store the adjustment value.

Mode number 16 (Holiday) should only be used with the HOLIDA command.

Use

The SSTO command calculates the optimal start and stop times for each zone based on information derived from the SSTOCO command (outside air temperature, zone temperature, desired zone temperature, etc.) as well as parameters for earliest, latest, and occupancy start times provided in the SSTO command.

This command has the ability to tune itself by incrementing or decrementing the start time after calculating an adjust time (ast) when errors between actual temperatures and desired temperatures occur.

Example

60  SSTO(1,1,ONTIM,OFTIM,6:30,7:45,8:00,15:30,

    16:45,17:00,0.0,0.0)

Notes

  • The SSTO command only calculates the optimal start and stop times. TOD and TODSET commands are needed to command the point.
  • When ast or asp is defined as zero, the current adjustment value is displayed each time the command is displayed. If a virtual LAO point name is entered, the operator can specify (command) an initial value for ast or asp.
