Introduction to Simulink with Engineering Applicatioins, Second Edition

This chapter is an introduction to the Signal Routing library. This is the twelfth library in the Simulink group of libraries and consists of two sub-libraries, the Signal Routing Group Sub-Library, and the Signal Storage & Access Group Sub-Library blocks shown below. Their functions are illustrated with examples.

The Signal Routing Group Sub-Library contains the fifteen blocks described in Subsections 13.1.1 through 13.1.15 below.

The Bus Creator block combines a set of signals into a group of signals represented by a single line. This block is described in Section 2.6, Chapter 2.

The Bus Selector block outputs a specified subset of the elements of the bus at its input. This block is described in Section 2.6, Chapter 2.

The Bus Assignment block assigns values, specified by signals connected to its assignment (: = ) input ports, to specified elements of the bus connected to its Bus input port. We use the block's dialog box to specify the bus elements to be assigned values. The block displays an assignment input port for each bus element to be assigned a signal.
In the Function Block Parameters dialog box, the Signals in the bus displays the names of the signals contained by the bus at the block's Bus input port. We can click any item in the list to select it. To find...
