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 of 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. |
