Dead Zone

Provide a region of zero output

Modelica Standard Library

	Description
	The DeadZone component defines a region of zero output. If the input is within the region $u_{\min} .. u_{\max}$ , the output is zero. Outside of this zone, the output is a linear function of the input with a slope of 1. The Signal Size parameter assigns the dimension of the input and output connectors.

	Equations
	$y = {\begin{array}{c} u - u_{\min} & u \leq u_{\min} \\ 0 & u_{\min} < u < u_{\max} \\ u - u_{\max} & u_{\max} \leq u \end{array}$
