Building pressure control
Space pressure is typically controlled by opening and closing relief damp-
ers. A PID loop controls these dampers based on a space pressure setpoint
and the measured space pressure. The space pressure in the building
should remain slightly positive to keep dust particles out, but not so posi-
tive that outside doors are difficult to open.
Table 11 shows a PCL program to control a relief damper. Figure 22
shows the same program in TGP. In PCL, the space pressure and other
values are scaled by a factor of 100 because the software resolution is 0.1
and the sensor resolution is 0.01. Values are not scaled in TGP.

1 PRSPX100 = SPACEPR * *100.0 Scale the measured space pressure
2 RELCALC = PRSPX100 DDC:2 SPACPRSP Call the PID (or DDC) function
