Plant Models View

Selecting Plant models in the tree dispays this view (see example below).

The following sections describe the view's main features:

• Plant Models List
• Model Details
• Additional Notes
• Buttons
• Right-Click Options

Plant Models List

This table lists all the plant models you've imported and/or plant models contained in controllers that you've imported. The example below lists two imported models, DC and DCp.

The Name field is editable. Each model must have a unique name. The name you assign here will be used within the design tool only.

The Type field is noneditable and indicates the model's LTI object type (see the Control System Toolbox™ documentation for a detailed discussion of LTI models).

The Sampling Period field is zero for continuous-time models, and a positive real value for discrete-time models.

The Imported on field gives the date and time the model was imported.

Model Details

This scrollable viewport shows details of the model currently selected in the plant models list (see Plant Models List). An example appears below.

Additional Notes

You can use this editable text area to enter comments, distinguishing model features, etc.

Buttons
