Field Exercises

Work the scenario.

Lessons teach you how things work. Exercises put you in front of the problem. Troubleshoot faults, commission controllers, and build real sequences on a live wiresheet.

Troubleshooting Scenarios

Something's wrong. Figure out what.

Power Check

Free Preview

Controller at RTU-3 is unresponsive. Track down the fault using a multimeter.

Sensor Check

A sensor is reporting a bad value. Open circuit, short, drift, or config mismatch?

Actuator Check

A damper actuator isn't moving. Is it the signal, the power, or the actuator itself?

BACnet Check

A controller dropped off the MS/TP network. Find the communication fault.

AHU Not Economizing

Conditions look right but the outside air damper won't open.

Zone Temperature Off Setpoint

A zone is consistently too hot or too cold. Work through setpoint, sensor, airflow, and sequence.

Point-to-Point Checkout

Commission a controller. Verify every point. Test every safety.

Basic AHU

A controller wired per submittal. Verify every input, override every output, and test the safeties.

Programming Exercises

Wire blocks together. Run the logic. Watch values propagate.

Programming Sandbox

Open wiresheet with a live sim engine. Add blocks, wire them up, hit Run.

Rooftop Unit Control with Economizer

Build the fan, economizer, cooling, and heating sequence. Test against a simulated day.
