Modelica.Blocks.MathBoolean

Library of Boolean mathematical functions as input/output blocks

Information

This package contains basic mathematical operations on Boolean signals.

The new features are:

If useful, blocks may have an arbitrary number of inputs (e.g., "And" block with 2,3,4,... Boolean inputs). This is based on the "connectorSizing" annotation which allows a tool to conveniently handle vectors of connectors.
The blocks are smaller in size, so that the diagram area is better utilized for trivial blocks such as "And" or "Or".

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Package (Icon for standard packages).

Modelica.Blocks.MathBoolean.MultiSwitch

Set Boolean expression that is associated with the first active input signal

Information

The block has a vector of Boolean input signals u[nu] and a vector of (time varying) Boolean expressions expr[:]. The output signal y is set to expr[i], if i is the first element in the input vector u that is true. If all input signals are false, y is set to parameter "y_default" or the previous value of y is kept if parameter use_pre_as_default = true:

  // Conceptual equation (not valid Modelica)
  i = 'first element of u[:] that is true';
  y = if i==0 then (if use_pre_as_default then pre(y)
                                          else y_default)
      else expr[i];

The usage is demonstrated, e.g., in example Modelica.Blocks.Examples.BooleanNetwork1.

Parameters

Name	Description
expr[nu]	y = if u[i] then expr[i] else y_default (time varying)
use_pre_as_default	set true to hold last value as default (y_default = pre(y))
y_default	Default value of output y if all u[i] = false

Connectors

Name	Description
u[nu]	Set y = expr[i], if u[i] = true
y	Output depending on expression

Modelica.Blocks.MathBoolean.And

Logical 'and': y = u[1] and u[2] and ... and u[nu]

Information

The output is true if all inputs are true, otherwise the output is false.

The input connector is a vector of Boolean input signals. When a connection line is drawn, the dimension of the input vector is enlarged by one and the connection is automatically connected to this new free index (thanks to the connectorSizing annotation).

The usage is demonstrated, e.g., in example Modelica.Blocks.Examples.BooleanNetwork1.

If no connection to the input connector "u" is present, the output is set to false: y=false.
