INQUAD, INOCT, INHEXD – Multi-input blocks
Block SymbolsLicensing group: STANDARD
Function Description
The REX control system allows not only reading of a single input signal but also simultaneous
reading of multiple signals through just one block (for example all signals from one
module or plug-in board). The blocks INQUAD, INOCT and INHEXD are designed for
these purposes. They differ only in the maximum number of signals (4, 8 and 16,
respectively). These blocks are not included in the RexLib function block library for
Matlab-Simulink.
The name of the block instance includes the symbol of the driver <DRV> and the name of the signal <signal> of the given driver:
- <DRV>__<signal>
It is created the same way as the GotoTag parameter of the INSTD and OUTSTD blocks.
The overhead necessary for data acquisition through input/output drivers is minimized when using these blocks, which is important mainly for very fast control algorithms with sampling period of 1 ms and lower. Moreover, all the inputs are read simultaneously or as successively as possible. Detailed information about using these blocks for particular driver can be found in the user manual for the given driver.
Outputs
val | Input signals fed into the control algorithm through input/output drivers. The type and location of individual signals is described in the user manual for the given driver. | unknown |
