i am trying to give numbers to ports according to a wrapper i built in simulink. but when i give a number and move on to next and port and give it another number then the previous port number sometimes gets changed/adjusted automatically in simulink. Is there a way to disable this property in simulink ?

Specifically, my group is working on thermal modeling of EVs i.e cabin cooling and battery cooling. We have used most elements from the two-phase-fluid sub-library of simscape. But at two connections we want a controlled separation of the refrigerant flow. For that, there is an element called flow divider but it's in the hydraulics sub-library. So how do I use these libraries simultaneously? I'm trying since yesterday but nothings seem to work. Thank you.
i implement a network simulation in Simulink/SimEvents (2018b) containing a Ethernet bus, which consists of three different subsystems like shown in the figure.
The blocks send entities to each other. This results to a quite complex scene, i'd like to improve by changing the position of the ports (like input port and output port on the same side of the subsystem). I haven't found a way how to do it.
I hope someone can help me.
It's not possible. Inports and Outports are always positioned on opposite sides of the block, and cannot be changed.
The exceptions are trigger and/or enable ports, which appear on a side which doesn't have inports or outports - but they can't be changed either.
In early versions of SimEvents you could position inports and outports on the same side, however I believe that functionality was removed in about R2017a or thereabouts.
In your case you could rotate your Node block to tidy up those connections, but there's nothing you can really do with the other signals crossing each other. (You could use GoTo and From blocks, although I'm not a fan of doing that.)
I am a new user of Matlab Simulink and currently i am working with Fuzzy Logic Controller with Simulation. In the Simulink, i want to input the values(i highlighted in the picture below), that changes with time.
Here, i am using Uniform Random Number Block which sends four values(which i feed) at same time but i want one value must input first, then another and so on. My target is to use Scope block(the one which is highlighted in the right side) and check the output that varies with time. But with current configuration, i just input ONLY one value. Please help?
I need to control a conveyor (driven by Micromaster 440) from a PC program using SFC14/15.
The scheme will be: Supervisors PC ->(ethernet)-> S7-1200 ->(profibus)-> Micromaster 440.
At the moment, Micromaster's output frequency is controlled via a potentiometer (analog inputs) by the "field" operator. The problem is that sometimes the operator increases the conveyor speed in order to do his job faster and this affects the production negatively. The "supervisor" wants to be able to limit output frequency using the PC program.
Of course I've seen the list of MM440 parameters and I know about P1082, but I've discovered that, unfortunately, MM440 should be stopped before the new value of P1082 takes effect. In my case it's preferable to be able to change the value on the run.
Fortunately, it seems that P0757 - P0760 - (input scaling) can be changed on the run, but this parameter has sign "first confirm", which means that
the “P” button on the operator panel (BOP or AOP) must be pressed before the
changes take effect.
But the MM440 has only one slot for the Profibus/BOP/AOP panel and I'll be using Profibus. So, in this case, what will be the behavior of mm440 like? I want to believe that, perhaps, this condition is not obligatory when using profibus panel...
I would opt for a solution where the operator no longer operates the belt speed directly but tells the S7-1200 PLC a what speed he would like the belt to run (either by using 2 +/- buttons or a pot-meter). The PLC can then control the speed of the belt (either by analog output or 2 digital (+/-) outputs).
As an added bonus you can stop the belt when it is accidentally left on and things like that...
I have designed a signal by using the Signal Builder block in Simulink. During the run of my simulation, the signal builder is to restart depending on the satisfaction of a condition. The condition can be satisfied many times, so, the signal should start from the beginning each time. If I want to put it in another way: You can take step input instead of the designed signal. Step input is to be reset conditionally. How can I make it?
I haven't seen such a functionality built-in Simulink (maybe the newer versions have it?) but here is a workaround:
You can simulate passed time with an integrator that has a Constant block set to 1 as input. The point is that the integrator block has a reset port which you can connect to your condition. So, when your condition becomes true, the integrator restarts a time variable from 0 (which is set in the initial conditions). Beforehand, you need to have your signal saved in something like a Table Lookup block, which outputs the signal as a function of time. Then you connect the integrator output to the Table Lookup block.
Have you tried putting your Signal Builder block in an enabled subsystem? You probably need to set the states when enabling to reset for it to work. Have a look at Create an Enabled Subsystem in the documentation for more details.
