The block is designed to simulate a tachogenerator that converts the angular speed of the shaft rotation into an electric voltage, which is determined by the formula:


where:
- U – steady state voltage, V
- U0 – constant voltage (shift), V
- K – sensor sensitivity, V·s/rad
- ω – angular speed of the shaft rotation, rad/s
The block limits the voltage to the minimum and maximum allowable values.
The block optionally allows you to simulate the inertia of the electrical part of the tachogenerator by adding an aperiodic block with the transfer function to the model:


where B is the cutoff frequency, Hz.
The positive voltage direction is taken as the direction from port "+" to port "-".
