Description
The Translational Electromechanical Converter block provides an interface between the electrical and mechanical translational domains. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy in the form of translational motion, and mechanical energy into electrical energy. The block uses these equations
where:
V is the voltage across the electrical ports of the converter.
I is the current through the electrical ports of the converter.
F is force.
U is speed.
K is the constant of proportionality.
The Translational Electromechanical Converter block performs lossless electromechanical energy conversion, therefore it uses the same constant of proportionality in both equations..
+ and - are conserving electrical ports that correspond to the positive and negative terminals of the converter, respectively. C and R are conserving mechanical translational ports. If the current flowing from the positive to the negative terminal is positive, then the resulting positive force acts from port C to port R. You can alter this direction by using a negative value for K.
Variables
To set the priority and initial target values for the block variables prior to simulation, use the Initial Targets section in the block dialog box or Property Inspector. For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.
Nominal values provide a way to specify the expected magnitude of a variable in a model. Using system scaling based on nominal values increases the simulation robustness. Nominal values can come from different sources, one of which is the Nominal Values section in the block dialog box or Property Inspector. For more information, see Modify Nominal Values for a Block Variable.
