Block

Description

This controller block (OpCtrl) accesses an Opal-RT OP6222 board, also known as Reference Pulse Generation Module or RPG. This module allows generating up to 13 digital output pulses synchronized with an internally simulated engine rotation. It also features 24 event detection digital input channels and one configurable knock analog output.

The OpCtrl block represents a physical RPG board located in a simulator. It handles rail configuration as well as overcurrent managements. All other features of the RPG board are managed by functionality blocks. Each functionality block refers to an OpCtrl block using the Controller Name parameter.

The OpFcn Engine Sync Pattern Gen and the OpFcn Multi-Event Capt blocks respectively manage the synchronized digital outputs and inputs of the module. The OpFcn Knock Gen handles the configuration and generation.of the knock output.

In addition to these RPG specific functionality blocks, the generic OpCtrlRPGModule block returns general information on the board including CableId, Firmware revision as well as error status such as Over Current and Over Voltage.

Parameters

Controller Name: This unique controller name allows binding the block with other functionality blocks.

This controller supports the following functionality blocks:

• OpFcn Engine Sync Pattern Gen
• OpFcn Multi Event Capt
• OpFcn Knock Gen
• OpFcn Status Register

The first set of parameters allows configuring the railing options of the RP and CAM channel.

Available options are listed bellow, though the availability changes from channel to channel:

The association between the RPBV pins and the RP/CAM channels is as follows:

Inputs

Ack Over Current: This inport is used to acknowledge an overcurrent error. On a transition from 0 to 1, the error is cleared. Overcurrent condition is monitored using the Status Register functionally block and the Error Over Current outputs of this block. This input is a 15 signals wide vector, See Error Over Current output description below for a signal index.

Outputs

Error Over Current: This output is used to report overcurrent error on the RPG module output channels. A value of 1 indicates an overcurrent. This output is a 15 signals wide vector where the status of each output channel is reported individually. The relation between signals and channel number is listed in the following table. Once an overcurrent is detected, the related output channel is disabled and the error condition is maintained until an acknowledge is performed on the Ack Over Current block input.

Characteristics and Limitations

Synchronization

The synchronization source of the model will be automatically assigned during the load of the model. Any TestDrive card equipped with an OP5142 board can act as a master or a slave.
