Description

Heater Management Software is a software component that manages a heater Power using a PID control algorithm based on the error between the current temperature and the ideal temperature provided in the input Thermal Message.

Properties

Declared	Description
In_ThermalMsg	The Reference Thermal Message input
K	Proportional gain applied to temperature error
Ki	Integration feedback error on temperature error (integral gain)
MaxPower	The Maximum Power level to set the heater to
MinPower	The Minimum Power level to set the heater to
Out_PowerMsg	The power message output to the controlled heater
P	Rate error feedback gain applied (derivative gain)

Inherited	Description
IsEnabled	Is true if the object is currently enabled.
Name	The display name or tag of this object.
Parent	The currently attached parent object (if any).

Methods

Inherited	Description
Destroy	Removes the current object from the simulation.
Disable	Disable the software componentDerived classes should clear any output messages
Enable	Enable the software component
FindParentWithID	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified ID.
FindParentWithType	Returns an attached parent that satisfies the specified type.
FindRootWithID	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified ID.
FindRootWithType	Returns a root object that satisfies the specified type.
Initialise	This method is called whenever some key parameters are changedand any new local variables are required to be recalculated. Thiscan be called by the software chains if a configuration of somevalues are updated.
