Description
Clamp one requested integrator increment and split accepted/rejected parts.
Controller calculations combine state, gain, error and reset conventions. A one-step update or output-balance target describes one part of a controller and does not implement, tune or establish the stability of a complete plant-control loop.
Clamp one requested integrator increment and split accepted/rejected parts.
When to use this tool
Use Cybernetics: Controller Integrator Clamp Delta when checking one explicit controller-state or term update.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter integrator, requestedIncrement, lower, upper. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read result. Expand result to inspect the returned fields.
Clamp one requested integrator increment and split accepted/rejected parts. Require ordered bounds and current integrator inside them; clamp integral+request, then subtract the old state and accepted amount.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| integrator | Integrator | Required. Finite number. |
| requestedIncrement | Requested Increment | Required. Finite number. |
| lower | Lower | Required. Finite number. |
| upper | Upper | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| result | Returned object; expand its named members below. | Required. Object. |
| result.nextIntegrator | Next Integrator | Calculated result member: number. |
| result.acceptedIncrement | Accepted Increment | Calculated result member: number. |
| result.rejectedIncrement | Rejected Increment | Calculated result member: number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Rejected increment may be signed; this local saturation rule is not a complete antiwindup or safety strategy.
- Outputs are nested inside result. Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the full controller and plant model, numerical implementation and qualified verification for actual operation or transitions.
