Potentiometer
A potentiometer is an electrical resistance component with mechanically adjustable (by means of rotation or sliding) resistance values. It provides three connectors and is mainly used as a continuously adjustable voltage divider.
A failure model can be selected for the symbol.
Adjustable parameters
| Designation | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| Potentiometer position | 0 ... 100 % | 0 |
| Resistance | 1E-4 ... 100000 kOhm | 1 |
| Protective resistance | 1E-6 ... 1000 Ohm | 1e-6 |
Failure models
| Failure model | Description |
|---|---|
| Faulty resistance value | The resistor specified in the failure configuration is used, in order to simulate an excessive resistance for example. |
| Faulty position value | The component is simulated with a faulty position value. |
| Designation | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| Resistance | 1e-3 ... 1E8 Ohm | 10 |
| Potentiometer position | 0 ... 100 % | 50 |
