.Buildings.Controls.OBC.CDL.Logical.TimerAccumulating

Information

Timer that accumulates time until it is reset by an input signal.

If the Boolean input u is true, the output y is the time that has elapsed while u has been true since the last time reset became true. If u is false, the output y holds its value. If the output y becomes greater than the threshold time t, the output passed is true. Otherwise it is false.

When reset becomes true, the timer is reset to 0.

In the limiting case where the timer value reaches the threshold t and the input u becomes false simultaneously, the output passed remains false.
