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.
