Ideal motor model with hysteresis

Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Motors.IdealMotor

Information

Ideal actuator motor model with hysteresis and finite actuation speed. If the current actuator position y is below (or above) the input signal u by an amount bigger than the hysteresis delta, then the position y is increased (decreased) until it reaches u. The output y is bounded between 0 and 1.

Note: This model can introduce state events which increase the computation time. For a more efficient implementation that approximates a motor, set in the valve or damper model the parameter filteredOpening=true instead of using this motor model. See also Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.UsersGuide.

Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.SISO (Single Input Single Output continuous control block).
