Connection Port - Create Physical Modeling connector port for subsystem
Library
Utilities
Description
The Connection Port block is used to export both the conserving
and the physical signal connections to the outside boundary of a subsystem
block, similar to the Inport and Outport blocks in Simulink® models.
The ports on the subsystem boundary appear as the square Conserving
ports
, as triangular Physical Signal ports
, or as two-way connector
ports
, depending on the type of port to which
the Connection Port block is connected inside the subsystem. In other
words, if a Connection Port block is connected to a Conserving port
in a subsystem, it appears as a Conserving port on the outside boundary
of the subsystem. If it is connected to a Physical Signal inport or
outport inside the subsystem, it appears as a Physical Signal inport
or outport, respectively, on the outside boundary of the subsystem.
If it is connected to a two-way connector port of the Two-Way Connection
block inside the subsystem, it appears as a two-way connector port
on the outside boundary of the subsystem.
Dialog Box and Parameters
- Port number
Labels the subsystem connector port created by this block. Each
connector port on the boundary of a single subsystem requires a unique
number as a label. The default value for the first port is 1.
- Port location on parent subsystem
Choose here on which side of the parent subsystem boundary the
port is placed. The choices are Left or Right.
The default choice is Left.
