.Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Integers.Stage

Information

Block that outputs the total number of stages to be enabled.

The block compares the input u with the threshold of each stage. If the input is greater than a stage threshold, the output is set to that stage. The block outputs the total number of stages to be enabled.

The parameter n specifies the maximum number of stages. The stage thresholds are evenly distributed, i.e. the thresholds for stages [1, 2, 3, ... , n] are [0, 1/n, 2/n, ... , (n-1)/n], plus a hysteresis which is by default h=0.02/n. Once the output changes, it cannot change for at least holdDuration seconds.
