PCSSP wrappers

The PCSSP wrapper layer acts as an intermediate layer in the hierarchy, set between PCSSP modules (see PCSSP Modules) and the PCSSP top model classes. The wrapper layer provides functionality to combine a small number of modules, or define a different interface to a module. The wrapper class supports the definition of new buses specifically for this purpose. Additional supporting methods, however, are much more limited compared to the top-model class.

A PCSSP wrapper consists of:

• a .slx model that references one or more PCSSP module(s)

• A data dictionary containing the referenced module parameters. This sldd is automatically created and linked to the wrapper slx upon its init/setup

• Optionally: new bus definitions to handle the rewiring of signals in between top model and individual pcssp modules.

A wrapper is initialized using the following commands:

obj_sensor = pcssp_PID_sensor_obj();
dt = 1e-3;
sensor_wrapper = pcssp_wrapper('pid_wrapper',dt);
sensor_wrapper = sensor_wrapper.addalgo(obj_sensor);

sensor_wrapper.init % creates and links the sldd if necessary, links to module objects
sensor_wrapper.setup % fills the wrapper sldd with module parameters from the referenced sldds
