The controller can write the values to the any input of a controller in the same prosumer.

Period Handling
================

A period needs to be defined to use the `ConstProfileController`.

If no period is explicitly set for the controller, it will try to detect a `period` column in the DataFrame provided by the DataSource.
If this column exists, a default period will automatically be created and used.

If neither a period is defined nor a `period` column is present in the DataFrame, an error will be raised.
