Description

The block OpFcnOP5142EX1 DataOut Recv is used to receive raw data from an Opal-RT OP5142 card.

One OpFcnOP5142EX1 DataOut Recv block controls data reception from one of the DataOut ports of the bitstream programmed in the OP5142 card. The OP5142-EX1 bitstream must be produced with Opal-RT RT-XSG product, version 1.3 or higher.

In the OP5142-EX1 implementation of the OP5142 support, the OP5142 bitstreams have 32 DataIn input ports and 32 DataOut output ports. Each port has a maximum width of 250 32-bit data words. These data ports are used to exchange data between the RT-LAB model and the FPGA chip of the OP5142 via the PCIe bus of the target computer.

Parameters

Controller Name	Bind this block to an OpCtrl OP5142EX1 block by entering the same 'Controller Name' as specified in the OpCtrl OP5142EX1 block The OpCtrl OP5142EX1 block controls initialization of the settings of one specific OP5142 card in the system.
DataOut port number	Enter the number of the DataOut port to be controlled by this block, in the range [1:32].
Data outport width	Enter the maximum number of data words that will be received from the OP5142 at each calculation step, in the range [1:250].
Data outport type	Select the data outport type: uint32 or double. When double is selected, the underlying driver performs data typecast between double and uint32, so data values are limited to the range [0:2^32-1]. The possibility to set the outport to uint32 type is provided for optimum performances
Sample Time (s)	This parameter allows the user to specify the block sample time in seconds. The default value is 0, which specifies a continuous sample time (note that the sample time is borrowed from the separated subsystem) while -1 specifies an inherited sample time. The OpFcnOP5142EX1 DataOut Recv block and its associated OpCtrl OP5142EX1 block must execute at the same sample time.

Inputs

This block has no inputs.

Outputs

The block has two outports.

Data	The data values returned by this outport are received from the OP5142 at each calculation step. No scaling or formatting of the data is performed, except for typecast from uint32 to double if the Data outport type parameter is set to double.
Status	The Status output returns the following values:

Value	Description
0	No error.
-1	Block could not be matched with an OpCtrl OP5142EX1 block (check the 'controller Name' value), or OP5142 card initialization problem.
-2	Data reception timeout. This error can be caused by model synchronization errors.
-3	Data reception error: the block received fewer data from the OP5142 card than the value specified in the 'Data outport width' parameter. Missing data were replaced by 0.
-4	Data reception error: the block received more data from the OP5142 card than the value specified in the 'Data outport width' parameter. Extra data were discarded.

Characteristics and Limitations

This block has no special characteristics.

Direct Feedthrough	No
Discrete sample time	Yes
XHP support	Yes
Work offline	No
