Relay

Purpose

Toggle between on- and off-state with a configurable threshold.

Library

Control / Discontinuous

Description

pict

The output of the Relay block depends on its internal state. If the input signal exceeds the upper threshold, the relay will be in the on-state. It will be in the off-state if the inputs is less than the lower threshold. The relay does not change for input values between the thresholds.

Parameters

Upper threshold
The highest value that the input signal may reach before the state changes to the on-state.
Lower threshold
The lowest value that the input signal may reach before the state changes to the off-state.
On-state output
The value of the output signal while the relay is in the on-state.
Off-state output
The value of the output signal while the relay is in the off-state.
Initial state
The state of the relay at simulation start. Possible values are on and off.

Probe Signals

Input
The block input signal.
Output
The block output signal.
