Controller NameThis parameter enables the binding between this OpCtrl block and functionality blocks that must be associated with the same card. This string must be unique among all OpCtrl blocks present in the same model.
Board IDThis parameter is the integer value represented by the board index DIP switch of the backplane adapter board to which the card is connected. The value is in the range of 0 to 31. If the card is not connected to an adapter board, the value is 0.
Primary Bitstream FileNameThis is the name of the primary bitstream to be programmed on the board before the model is loaded. The bitstream must have been produced with RT-XSG and must be available in the model directory at load time. Please note that the name of Bitstream file name should match the board type that is selected in the "Board Type" parameter.
Bitstream ConfigurationThis is the configuration of the bitstream to be programmed on the card before the model is loaded. This parameter allows the user to use the same bitstream for several purposes.
Synchronization modeThis popup allows the selection of the Master, Slave or Master with external clock mode of hardware synchronization. Master mode must be used when the card is selected as the synchronization source of the model. Slave mode can be used when the synchronization source of the model is another Opal-RT card such as OP7160, OP5110, OP5130-XSG, etc. Master with external clock mode must be used when the OpCtrl block acts as the synchronization source but receives the RTSI signal from another device.
Generate External ClockNot yet supported.
Decimation factorThis parameter is available only when the Slave mode of synchronization is selected. Not yet supported.
Sample Time (s)

This parameter allows the user to specify the sample time for this block, in seconds. The default value is 0, which specifies a continuous sample time (note that the sample time is borrowed from the separated subsystem).

These synchronization rules must be respected in the model:

  • A controller block and its related functionality blocks must share the same sample time.
  • If an OpConfigSync block is used and does not specify the card as the synchronization source, the sample time must be an integer multiple of the synchronization source sample time specified in the OpConfigSync block.
  • If an OpConfigSync block is used and specifies the card as the synchronization source, its sample time must be the fastest rate in the model.
Board TypeThis popup allows the selection of the board type to control. This can make the board switching process easier for the user.
If the Board Type selected is OP48xx, this parameter specifies:
  • IP address
This parameter is the IP address of the Versal OP4810 or OP4815 chassis, as shown on its LCD.
  • Chassis name
This parameter is the name of the chassis, as and will be shown on its LCD.
Secondary used for SimulationSpecifies if other FPGA cards are used. A maximum of 8 cards per block are supported and for each card, one bitstream file is needed. This option is only available for OP7160 and OP7161 Board Types.
If the "Secondary used for Simulation" option is checked, this parameter specifies:
  • Bitstream Filename for Slot 1
The name of the first bitstream. Please note that the name of a Bitstream file name should match the board type and the slot number.
  • Bitstream Filename for Slot 3
The name of the third bitstream. Please note that the name of a Bitstream file name should match the board type and the slot number.
  • Bitstream Filename for Slot 5
The name of the fifth bitstream. Please note that the name of a Bitstream file name should match the board type and the slot number.
  • Bitstream Filename for Slot 7
The name of the seventh bitstream. Please note that the name of a Bitstream file name should match the board type and the slot number.
  • Bitstream Filename for Slot 9
The name of the ninth bitstream. Please note that the name of a Bitstream file name should match the board type and the slot number.
  • Bitstream Filename for Slot 11
The name of the eleventh bitstream. Please note that the name of a Bitstream file name should match the board type and the slot number.
  • Bitstream Filename for Slot 13
The name of the thirteenth bitstream. Please note that the name of a Bitstream file name should match the board type and the slot number.
Synchronization typeSpecifies if the synchronization is done via LVDS (audio) or optical fiber. This option is only available for the VC707 card.
Disable strict hardware mismatch validation

This parameter activates the use of multiple I/O card types based on general compatibility rules instead of using the exact hardware ID values. This option is only available when TE0741 or VC707 is selected as board type.
