About HVAC Logical Systems

The topic deals with basic information you should know before creating HVAC logical systems.

This page discusses:

Concept

The following is a summary of what the HVAC logical objects stand for.

HVAC Logical References
HVAC components and equipment aggregate HVAC ports.
Duct
Connectivity between two components. They aggregate HVAC end ports.
Line ID
A logical transport system to transport medium from one object to another.

Below are examples of a line ID:

  • HVAC logical lines transport air.
  • Instrumentation logical lines transport instrument signals (hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical).

Line Members
A group of objects that constitute the logical line are considered the members of the logical line. A logical line can include both logical objects and physical objects. The logical object members of a line ID must be somewhere under the immediate parent system of the line ID.
HVAC Port Types
  • End Ports: only duct objects have end ports.
  • HVAC Ports: for connectivity between HVAC components.
