Rate Limiter¶

The rate limiter shows the characteristic of an actuator that is too slow to follow the input control signal.

It limits the rising and falling rates of the input signal, i.e. the first derivative of the signal passing through it, and the amount of the upper and lower saturation limits.

The initial value can be specified by the user or tied to the input signal at time 0. In the second case, Y0 is ignored.
