Figure 20 shows a TGP program to control a hot-water valve. Output Sta-
tus 1 (an analog output) provides the position of the chilled-water valve. If
the chilled-water valve position is greater than zero, the hot-water valve
will not open.

Table 10 shows the initial values the technician used for the hot-water
valve PID loop. Chapter 2, “PID settings,” explains how to select initial
values for various PID applications.
Checks whether fan is off and
heat request is on
Checks whether fan is off or
chilled-water valve is open
If heat request is on and fan is
off, then output = 100, else
PID output controls actuator
