The block represents a limitation of the input signal within defined limits.
yk ( ) = Lower Limit. if x( k)
≤ Lower Limit
yk ( ) ==
Upper Limit, if x( k)
≥ Upper Limit
yk ( ) xk ( ) else
Dialog Settings
«Upper Limit»/«Lower Limit»
Define the value for the upper/lower limit of the output signal. Common parameter types. Enter
a numerical value, a variable, or an expression in the text box. The value '0' for upper and
lower limit means there is no limitation.
� «Sample Time»
Select «System» for simulator-defined variable sample time. Select «Value» to define a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box or use the pin to connect a quantity.
Please note: The sample time must be a positive value.
� � «Use Pin»
If the box is checked, the sample time is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise
the value in the text box is used.
«Input Signal»
Enter a quantity name used in your model sheet in the text box to define the input signal
(RLOAD.I, STEP.VAL, STATE.ST, VAR) or use the pin to connect a quantity. Please note: You
cannot use conservative nodes from circuits as input signal (N0002, GND).
� � «Use Pin»
If the box is checked, the input signal is defined by the quantity connected to the pin, otherwise
the value in the text box is used.
