When the Enable signal is 0, the block is disabled. Set the Enable signal to 1 to start transferring the new AC signal modulation parameters. The Status output indicates when the transfer is done.

Data Type: boolean

The Status port outputs a boolean signal indicating when the updated parameters have been transferred to the BCE. After enabling the block, the Status switches from 0 to 1 when the data transfer is completed.

Data Type: boolean

The EtherCAT Network Index is a user-defined ID to associate the BCE AC SM Parameter Update block with the corresponding BMTS Setup block. The value must be an integer between 0 and 11.

Selects the BCE device to which the BCE AC SM Parameter Update block will send data.

Defines the base sample time at which this driver block gets its sample hit. This parameter can also be set to -1 for inherited sample time. The units are in seconds.

Select a cell from the list on the left-hand side to configure additional settings for this cell.

Set the time step after which the AC signal modulation outputs the next sample from the signal data array. The unit can be set to milliseconds or microseconds. The minimum value is 7 μs.

Select whether the AC signal modulation data is applied to the cell voltage or to the cell sink current.

Add an AC signal modulation start time delay for this cell. To achieve exact synchronization or time offsets between cells, the AC signal must be started simultaneously for all cells from Simulink. Each cell will start AC data output after its start time delay has passed.

To stop AC signal modulation deterministically after a certain number of iterations, enter the number of passes through the data file after which to stop AC signal modulation. When stopped, the cell returns to normal operation mode.

Add an additional gain factor to apply to the data points from the AC signal data file. The gain value must be in the range of 0 to 2.0. Setting it to 1 disables the gain adjustment.

This mode allows the gain value applied to the AC signal modulation data to change periodically. When enabled, the gain adjustment is updated each time the number of entered time steps have elapsed. The current gain adjustment value defines the starting point (1 if disabled); the gain sweep limit value defines the endpoint. Counting occurs between these two boundaries. If one boundary is reached, the counting direction reverses. The current gain value is adjusted (increased or decreased) by the update step value.

This mode allows the AC signal modulation output update time step (or frequency) to change periodically.
