Add an enabling port to a subsystem.
Library
Signals & Systems
Description
Adding an Enable block to a subsystem makes it an enabled subsystem. An enabled subsystem executes while the input received at the Enable port is greater than zero.
At the start of simulation, Simulink initializes the states of blocks inside an enabled subsystem to their initial conditions. When an enabled subsystem restarts (executes after having been disabled), the States when enabling parameter determines what happens to the states of blocks contained in the enabled subsystem:
You can output the enabling signal by selecting the Show output port check box. Selecting this option allows the system to process the enabling signal. The width of the signal is the width of the enabling signal.
A subsystem can contain no more than one Enable block.
Data Type Support
The data type of the input of the Enable port may be boolean or double. See Chapter 7, "Conditionally Executed Subsystems" for more information about enabled subsystems.
Parameters and Dialog Box
- States when enabling
- Specifies how to handle internal states when the subsystem becomes re-enabled.
- Show output port
- If checked, Simulink draws the Enable block output port and outputs the enabling signal.
