Bus Creator

Bundles named signals into one bus wire. Each input is named in its properties; a bus can carry another bus.

Description

Bundles signals into a bus: one wire that carries them all, each under a name. The names are the input labels on the block; edit them, and add or remove inputs, under Signals in its properties.

An input may itself be a bus. Its signals keep their names below the input’s name, so a bus named motor holding speed becomes motor.speed. Pick signals out again with a Bus Selector, anywhere downstream and through any number of subsystem ports.

Example

Signal buses Named signals bundled into a bus with a Bus Creator, and picked out by name with a Bus Selector.

In Gradara, select a Bus Creator block and press F1, then choose Open example. It opens as a new model in My models, ready to run.

Ports

Inputs 2

signal1u1signal

The signal named by this input (signal1 by default), or a bus.
signal2u2signal

The signal named by this input (signal2 by default), or a bus.

Outputs 1

busysignal

The bus: every input’s signals, in order, with their names.

Equations

Modelica

bus = {u1, u2}  (a bus input contributes all its signals)

Implementation

The block’s Modelica model

y = {u1, u2};

Assumptions and limitations

Names are a letter, then letters, digits, or _, and must differ within one block.
A bus is a vector of signals underneath: blocks other than Demux, Bus Selector, Mux, Bus Creator, and subsystem ports take one signal and report an error.

Tips

Logging the bus wire records every signal on it under its name, such as Bus.speed.
