Description

This block is used to sequence solver's operations.

It provides two different counter values:

• A "Timer" value which is aimed to be used as the solver time step.
• A "Sequence" value which is aimed to be used as a secondary counter to manage the read/write operations of the solver.

Mask Parameters

MaxCountTime : Value that the time step counter will have to count to.

LoopCountTime : Value to reset to once the count is done.

StartCountSequence : Time value at which we start the count sequence ; this will also toggle the Double Buffer bit.

MaxCountSequence : Value that the sequence counter will have to count to. It will stall to that count and wait for the MaxCount of the timer to start again.

SlaveMode : This will set the solver in slave mode.

Inputs

Reset : Reset all counts (time and sequence counters) to zero.

FrameSync : If in slave mode, this will launch a new time step if the solver is ready for a new step.

Outputs

Enable : Enable the time counter and the sequence counter. (Boolean)

TimerValue : This is to time the time step of the solver. (UFIX16_0)

SequenceCount : This is to sequence all the operations of the solver. (UFIX10_0

DoubleBufferAddr : This is a bit that toogles between 0 and 1 that indictes where to read in memory (and we write at not(DoubleBufferBit)). (UFIX1_0)

FirstStep : This is a bit that is at 1 during the first step (to tell the solver to use the initial states). (UFIX1_0)

NewSequence : A bit that flags the start of a new sequence (synchronized with sequenceCount = 0). (UFIX1_0)
