Exercise 5:

TIME DELAY

Description:
The simulator simulates a pure time delay between the input
signal u and the output signal y:

wherein the time delay

runs.

can be adjusted while the simulator

Aim:
The main aim is to develop an understanding of how a time
delay works in the time domain.

Motivation:
The time delay is an important phenomenon in practical systems.
It appears in transportation of material and signals.
Example: Time Delay Relays
Typically, time delay relays are initiated or triggered by one of two
methods:

application of input voltage

opening or closing of a trigger signal
These trigger signals can be one of two designs:
a control switch (dry contact), i.e., limit switch, push button, float
switch, etc.
voltage (commonly known as a power trigger)

Example: Transport Delays

The Transport Delay block delays the input by a specified
amount of time. You can use this block to simulate a time delay. The
input to this block should be a continuous signal.
Thus,
The time delay is a method that uses past history of arrays to
store input variables, each time delay having its own array. The time
delay is constant and gives a consistent value of delayed time output.
The output signals depend on the time delay on its response time.
The stationary response is not affected on whatever value is set to
the time delay. This result to an output that sets whether up or down,
1.0 sec after the input is changed.
