Overview

The MSCP driver blocks allow users to configure and operate the Modular Signal Conditioning Platform with a Speedgoat real-time target machine. These usage notes provide information on how to use the MSCP driver blocks in the Simulink^® environment.

Simulink Bus Objects

The MSCP driver blocks use Simulink bus objects. Bus objects for configured MSCP devices and the modules are exported to the user's workspace when configuring the setup block.

The bus signals for MSCP devices are named: 'MscpBus' followed by the network index 'Network_XX', device index 'Device_XX' and 'Read' or 'Write'. For example, 'MscpBus_Network_00_Device_01_Write' is the name of the bus signal for the write operation of the first MSCP device of network 0. Bus signals for modules are named: 'MscpBus' followed by the module name. 'Read' or 'Write' is added to modules where the bus structure of input and output differs. For example: 'MscpBus_SC9203' is the name of the bus signal to use for write and read operations of an SC9203 module.

The figure below showcases how to use a Bus Assignment and a Bus Selector block for the MSCP driver blocks. A constant block with Output Data Type: 'Bus: MscpBus_Network_00_Device_01_Write' is connected to the first input of the Bus Assignment block. The value of the constant block is used to initialize the bus and can either be a struct that matches hierarchy and attributes of the bus or the value 0. You can generate a struct that matches hierarchy and attributes of the bus with Simulink.Bus.createMATLABStruct. For more information about Simulink Bus Objects, please refer to the MathWorks^® web documentation.

SC2191

^*

SC4101-100-0.1

^*Resistance between 0 and 102.3 Ohm with a 0.1 Ohm resolution. Values below 0 or above 102.3 Ohm will default to 102.3 Ohm.

SC4191-5110k-10k

^*Resistance between 0 and 5110 kOhm with a 10 kOhm resolution. Values below 0 will result in infinite resistance (open circuit) and values above 5110 kOhm will default to 5110 kOhm.

SC9201

^*The switch state of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

SC9203

^*The switch state of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

Figure 2. SC9203 Switch Matrix

SC9203-FIU

^*The switch state of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

^**The fault state of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

SC9205

^*The switch state of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

Figure 4. SC9205 Switch Matrix

SC9205-FIU

^*The switch state of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

^**The fault state 1 of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

^***The fault state 2 of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

SC9502-SPDT-TTL

^*The switch state of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

SC9503-SPST-TTL

^*The switch state of one channel is stored as a uint8 value. Zero indicates that the relay is open; one indicates that the relay is closed.

SC9601

^* The switch state is stored as a uint8 value. A value of zero indicates that the relay coil is de-energized; a value of one indicates that the relay coil is energized. The resulting contact state depends on whether the relay is configured as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). For example, a value of one closes the contact for an NO relay, but opens the contact for an NC relay.
