Has any got the following error before:

PlantEquipmentOperation:Uncontrolled

This is an extract from the error text file:

************* IDF Context for following error/warning message:
************* Note -- lines truncated at 280 characters, if necessary...
************* Only the comment character (!) on a line is shown -- nothing following that.
************* 31704 PlantEquipmentOperation:Uncontrolled,
************* 31705 CHW Loop Operation All Hours, !
************* 31706 0.00, !
************* 31707 10000000.00, !
** Severe ** IP: IDF line~31707 Error detected for Object=PLANTEQUIPMENTOPERATION:UNCONTROLLED
** ~~~ ** Maximum arguments reached for this object, trying to process ->10000000.00<-

It seems to have a problem with the Btu/hr entered for the maximum capacity range for the chiller and cooling tower? This project is in Brazil so all numbers are entered in the software with a ',' for a '.' and vice versa...is this the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Celia, could you send the dsb file generating this error? DB should generate identical IDF data regardless of local settings as E+ always uses . as the decimal separator.

Thanks,

Andy

It actually looks like this issue was fixed in the latest DB download.
Thanks for getting back to me so promptly Andy! Smile

Yes we did completely overhall the plant loop dialog before the current release so I'm glad that fixed the problem!
