Enabled and Triggered Subsystem

Subsystem whose execution is enabled and triggered by external inputs

• Library:

• Simulink / Ports & Subsystems

• 

Description

The Enabled and Triggered Subsystem block is a Subsystem block preconfigured as a starting point for creating a subsystem that executes when both of these conditions occur:

• Enable control signal has a positive value.

• Trigger control signal has a trigger value.

Use Enabled and Triggered Subsystem blocks to model:

• Optional functionality.

• Alternative functionality.

For an explanation of the Enabled and Triggered Subsystem block parameters, see Subsystem.

Ports

Input

In — Signal input to a subsystem block

scalar | vector | matrix

Placing an Inport block in a subsystem adds an external input port to the Subsystem block. The port label matches the name of the Inport block.

Use Inport blocks to get signals from the local environment.

Data Types: half | single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated | bus

Enable — Control signal input to a subsystem block

scalar

Placing an Enable block in a subsystem adds an external input port to the Subsystem block.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | fixed point

Trigger — Control signal input to a subsystem block

scalar

Placing a Trigger block in a subsystem adds an external input port to the Subsystem block.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | fixed point

Output

Out — Signal output from a subsystem

scalar | vector | matrix

Placing an Outport block in a subsystem adds an output port from the Subsystem block. The port label on the subsystem block is the name of the Outport block.

Use Outport blocks to send signals to the local environment.

Data Types: half | single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated | bus

Model Examples

Counters Using Conditionally Executed Subsystems

The contrast between enabled subsystems and triggered subsystems for the same control signal, through the use of counter circuits. After running the simulation, the scope shows three plots.
