Controlled Pneumatic Pressure Source
Ideal compressor with signal-controlled pressure difference
Library
None (example custom library)
Description
Note
As of Release R2016b, the Gas block library replaces the Pneumatic library as the recommended way of modeling pneumatic systems. The former Pneumatic library is now included in the product installation as an example custom library. The pneumatic domain definition is still provided with the software, and all the pneumatic blocks in your legacy models continue to work as before. However, these blocks no longer receive full production support and can be removed in a future release.
The Controlled Pneumatic Pressure Source block represents an ideal compressor that maintains a pressure difference equal to the numerical value presented at physical signal port F. The compressor adds no heat. Block connections A and B correspond to the pneumatic inlet and outlet ports, respectively, and connection F represents a control signal port.
A positive pressure difference results in the pressure at port B being higher than the pressure at port A.
Ports
The block has the following ports:
A
Pneumatic conserving port associated with the source inlet.
B
Pneumatic conserving port associated with the source outlet.
F
Control signal port.
