SimpleControl uses a →CloseGap component to arrive (naively) at a flow that is needed to move a connected stock "under management" to a given setpoint, i.e., goal. The strength of the flow, i.e., the speed of the adjustment, is controlled by the parameter adjTime.
The control's setpoint can be provided either by a →RampInput or by an exogenous input u. In case of a ramp input the setpoint will move from initialSetpoint to finalSetpoint in linear fashion for a period given by duration starting at startTime.
The controller by default is active over the whole simulation run, but can be restricted to an on-off period using tc = TimingChoices.period and the parameters onTime and offTime.
