Information
This information is part of the Business Simulation Library (BSL). Please support this work and ► donate.
This is the basic class for control components, which typically set a flow to a stock under control, whose current level is measured by a sensor currentValue.y.
The class allows to use either a RampInput or an optional input connector u to provide setpoint information.
Timing choices can be given, which determin whether a PulseInput or a ConstantConverter is active.
