The output y is obtained by guarded division of the input u by some reference value. The reference value can either be a constant (referenceValue) or a variable input (u_reference). If the reference value is zero the output will be zero also.

Notes

Since there is just regular division, care has to be taken in case of negative values for either input or reference value.

Units

As the reference value should have the same dimension as the input, the output will effectively be a dimensionless ratio.

Revision History

Replaceable type for constant introduced in v2.0.0

Redeclared OutputType as Ratio with prefix final in v2.2.
