Dead Zone
Sets the zone with zero output signal.
Description
The Dead Zone block outputs a zero output signal within a specified area called its dead zone. The block settings specify the lower (LL) and upper limits (UL) of the dead zone by the values of the parameters Start of dead zone and End of dead zone. The output signal of the unit depends on the input signal (U) and the values of the lower and upper limits.

Parameters
Start of dead zone - lower boundary of dead zone
-0.5 (by default) | scalar | vector
Sets the lower limit of dead zone. The Start of dead zone value must be less than or equal to End of dead zone. When the input value is less than Start of dead zone, the block shifts the output value down by the Start of dead zone value.
