blockSlewRateLimiter

Limits the slew rate of a signal

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

Information

The SlewRateLimiter block limits the slew rate of its input signal in the range of [Falling, Rising].

To ensure this for arbitrary inputs and in order to produce a differential output, the input is numerically differentiated with derivative time constant Td. Smaller time constant Td means nearer ideal derivative.

Note: The user has to choose the derivative time constant according to the nature of the input signal.
