Deadband ​

Ignores small excursions of a double signal. Inside the band [lower, upper] the output is 0. Outside it, Shift mode outputs the distance past the band edge (in − upper above, in − lower below), so the output is continuous; Zero-hold mode passes the input through unchanged, which is the classic governor frequency-deadband form. If lower is set above upper, the simulator logs an error and swaps them.

ParameterTypeDefaultUnitsDescriptionID
Lower edgeNumber-0.5—Lower edge of the band. Must not exceed the upper edge.lower
Upper edgeNumber0.5—Upper edge of the band.upper
ModeChoice: Shift / Zero-holdShift—Shift = output the distance past the band edge (continuous). Zero-hold = output 0 inside the band and the input itself outside it (jumps at the edges).mode
