Rate Limiter Dynamic

Limit rate of change of signal

  • Rate Limiter Dynamic block

Libraries:
Simulink / Discontinuities

Description

The Rate Limiter Dynamic block limits the rising and falling rates of the signal.

  • The external signal up sets the upper limit on the rising rate of the signal.

  • The external signal lo sets the lower limit on the falling rate of the signal.

Follow these guidelines when using the Rate Limiter Dynamic block:

  • Ensure that the data types of up and lo are the same as the data type of the input signal u.

    When the lower limit uses a signed type and the input signal uses an unsigned type, the output signal keeps increasing regardless of the input and the limits.

  • Use a fixed-step solver to simulate models that contain this block.

    Because the Rate Limiter Dynamic block supports only discrete sample time.
