This block is used to configure a connection to an RT-LAB Orchestra framework.

Orchestra_External_Controller block

Mask

Orchestra_External_Controller mask

Description

This block acts as a bridge between the current model and an RT-LAB Orchestra framework. This block is always required in a Simulink model exchanges data with an RT-LAB framework. Refer to the RT-LAB Orchestra chapter of the RT-LAB user guide for more information about RT-LAB Orchestra.

Parameters

Sample time	Block sample time. Determines the data exchange rate between the current model and an RT-LAB framework.
XML file	Name of the file that contains a description of the signals to be exchanged in the Orchestra co-simulation. Click on the Configure button to start the DDF configurator.
Domain name	Domain name to use in the DDF.
Connection type	Select between local connection or external connection using Reflective Memory cards.
PCI Index	Used with Reflective Memory cards only. If several identical cards are installed in the computer, select the PCI index of the card to be used.
Work in Simulink mode	Enables/Disables the connexion to the RT-LAB Orchestra framework when running the model outside an RT-LAB Orchestra co-simulation.

Inputs

State	Connects(1) / Disconnects(0) the current model to the RT-LAB Orchestra framework.

Outputs

Status	Status of the connection with the RT-LAB Orchestra framework. The value is 0 if there is no External Component connected to the framework, otherwise, the value is 1.

Characteristics and Limitations

Direct Feedthrough	Yes
Discrete sample time	Yes
XHP support	Yes (Partial XHP only)
Work offline	Yes
