Deadband

The Deadband component allows to set a range of value which does not trigger any action or any other response in the application despite input changes. This non-responsive zone helps preventing the application from overreacting to minor fluctuations, thereby stabilizing overall performance.

The component can operate in two modes:

• Continuous: constantly checking the input value against the set deadband range;

• One step: the input value is checked once against the setpoint value and set deadband range.

The Deadband component has the following slots:

• Status: shows the status of the component;

  • Available information: OK, fault;

• Out: the output value calculated against the set deadband range and mode of operation;

• In: the input value;

• Deadband: allows to set a range of values as a non-responsive zone – in this range of values no action is taken, the input value is not directly transferred to the Out slot;

• Setpoint: (active only for the one step mode of operation) allows to set a middle value for the set deadband range;

• Mode: allows to set the component’s mode of operation;

  • Available settings: Continuous, One step.
