The Integrator microblock calculates a value over time (minutes or hours) at a rate defined by the value of the input. The microblock's output is based on the value of the input and the rate chosen in the microblock dialog box.
For the Initial Value you define whether the microblock's value is calculated over minutes (units/min) or hours (units/hr).
For example, if the microblock's input value is 10, and the rate is measured in units per hour, the microblock's output increases at a rate of 10 per hour. At the end of the first hour, the output value is 10; at the end of the second hour, the output is 20, and so on. When the clr input turns on, the microblock's output value is reset to zero.
