Many studies for which simulation is necessary include the presence of control systems. While plenty of Modelica libraries are nowadays available to accurately represent the plant, the same is not so true as for the control elements, since industrial ones are endowed with a number of functionalities -and often present system-or even vendor-specific peculiarities -that are not represented by the typical blocks (e.g., based on transfer functions) offered by the existing libraries. This paper is

The library is organised into subpackages; a list of the major ones is given below. This examples compares two cascade control schemes, one with and one without increment/decrement locks. When two controllers are connected together in a cas-Session 4B: Control DOI
