SimpleControl uses a →CloseGap
component to arrive (naively) at a flow that is needed to move a
connected stock "under management" to a given setpoint,
i.e., goal. The strength of the flow, i.e., the speed of the
adjustment, is controlled by the parameter
adjTime.
The control's setpoint can be provided either by a
→RampInput
or by an exogenous input u. In case of a ramp
input the setpoint will move from initialSetpoint
to finalSetpoint in linear fashion for a period given
by duration starting at startTime.
The controller by default is active over the whole simulation
run, but can be restricted to an on-off period using
tc = TimingChoices.period and the parameters
onTime and offTime.
