HardwareModeling::Actuator

The Actuator is the element that represents electrical actuators, such as valves, motors, lamps, brake units, etc. Non-electrical actuators such as the engine, hydraulics, etc. are considered part of the plant model (environment). Plant models are not part of the Hardware Design Architecture. <br/><br/>Semantics:<br/>The Actuator metaclass represents the physical and electrical aspects of actuator hardware. The logical aspect is represented by a HardwareFunctionType associated with the Actuator.<br/><br/>Notation:<br/>Actuator is shown as a solid-outline rectangle with double vertical borders. The rectangle contains the name, and its ports or port groups on the perimeter.<br/>
