Number of signal samples
• Intheconditionabove(1),thesignalexceedstheratelimitvalueascomparedwiththe
previous value; therefore, the response is set to 1%.
The actual output, which is damped, is processed as indicated with the solid line.

• The input signal does not return to the rate limit value or less within the dead time; therefore,

• The output signal starts following the step signal along the damping curve.
