Information

This example shows the use of the voltage controller.

The voltage controller is connected to a variable voltage source that oscillates between 140 and 100 V. The nominal voltage is V_nom = 120 V. The controller has the following settings:

Nominal voltage V_nom = 120 V,
Threshold V_tr = 0.1 (10%),
tdelay T_delay = 2 s.

Therefore, when the voltage controller measures a voltage that is 10% higher that 120 V (that is 132 V), it sets its output signal y to zero. The output signal stays at zero for T_delay, after which it expires. Then, the controllers check again if the voltage is within the accepted thresholds.

The image below shows how the signal becomes equal to zero when the measured voltage exceeds the threshold.

The figure shows that the signal y becomes zero around t = 1 s. After T_delay the voltage is still higher that 123 V and thus the controller waits until t = 5 s to change the signal to one.
