INTENTION
This class provides all definitions to describe an actuator if it has no malfunction.
It is distinguished between two values:
Note that this class can be used to describe an actuator that already exists in the environment. Therefore the value adjusted by the actuator, namely adjustedEntity, has the scope machine controlled, visible for the machine. If the actuator does not exist, i.e. the actuator itself has to be developed, the scope of adjustedEntity has to be environment controlled, not visible for the machine.
FORMAL PARAMETERS
| Sort | ENV_DOMAIN |
|---|
| Intention | : | This domain contains the possible values of the phenomenon existing in the real world. |
| Sort | ADJUSTED_DOMAIN |
|---|
| Intention | : | This domain contains the possible values that can be adjusted by the machine. |
SIGNATURE
| Time Constant | reactionTime |
|---|
| Intention | : | This time constant represents the reaction time of the actuator. The reaction time is the time between a change of the value adjusted by the machine (adjustedEntity) and the time point the value of the actuator in the real world (envEntity) changes its value correspondingly. |

| Timed Function | envEntity  ENV_DOMAIN |

| Intention | : | This function represents the value of the phenomenon, i.e. the actuator, existing in the real world.
Note that this function represents the situation as it is in the real world and not how it is adjusted and seen by the machine. |
