This module is responsible for translating the VAV Box Mode Input and Water Flush Input into the outputs required for a third-generation VAV application. The VAV Box Mode Input uses the Box Mode Enum Set, which contains the Shutdown Closed, Shutdown Open, Warmup, Water System Flush, Low Limit, Satisfied, and Cooling and Heating inputs. The outputs provided are System Mode, Unit Enable, and WarmupCooldown.

The Occupied Sequencer switches between Satisfied Cooling and Heating in the current VAV single duct application. As a result, when the VAV Box Mode is commanded to Satisfied, Cooling, or Heating, the System Mode is set to Auto.

This module is typically placed in the Setpoint Determination column.

You can view and modify the modules in this group's logic.
