Check Dynamic Lower Bound

Check that one signal is always less than another signal

  • Library:
  • Simulink / Model Verification

    HDL Coder / Model Verification

  • Check Dynamic Lower Bound block

Description

The Check Dynamic Lower Bound block checks if a reference signal, min, is less than the amplitude of an input signal, u at each time step and executes an assertion after comparison. If min is less than u, the assertion is true (1) and the block does nothing. If not, the block halts the simulation and returns an error message by default.

The input signals can be scalars, vectors, or matrices. Both input signals must be the same data type. The block compares the value of u to the bound differently depending on the signal.

  • When comparing scalars to vectors or matrices, the block compares the scalar signal to each element of the non-scalar signal.

  • When comparing a vector or matrix signal to another vector or matrix signal, the block checks the signals element-by-element.

  • For models with an input and bound that are both vectors or matrices, the input and bound must have the same dimensions.

Ports

Input

expand all

Signal specifying the lower bound of the check against the input signal u amplitude. Signal data type and dimension must be the same as u.

Data Types: half | single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated

Input signal checked against the lower bound specified by min. Both input signals must be the same data type and dimension.

Data Types: half | single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point | enumerated

Output

expand all

Output signal that is true (1) if the assertion succeeds and false (0) if the assertion fails. If, in the Configuration Parameters window, in the Math and Data Types section, under Advanced parameters, you select Implement logic signals as Boolean data, then the output data type is Boolean. Otherwise, the data type of the signal is double.

Dependencies

To enable this output port, select the Output assertion signal parameter check box.

Data Types: double | Boolean

Parameters

expand all

Clearing this parameter disables the block and causes the model to behave as if the block does not exist. To enable or disable all verification blocks, regardless of the setting of this option, go to the Configuration Parameters window, click Diagnostics > Data Validity, expand the Advanced parameters section, and set Model Verification block enabling to Enable all or Disable all.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: enabled
Type: character vector
Values: 'on' | 'off'
Default: 'on'

Specify a MATLAB® expression to evaluate when the assertion fails. Because the expression is evaluated in the MATLAB workspace, define all variables used in the expression in that workspace.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, select the Enable assertion parameter.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: callback
Type: character vector
Values: MATLAB expression
Default: ''

Select this parameter to stop the simulation when the check fails. Clear this parameter to display a warning and continue the simulation.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: stopWhenAssertionFail
Type: character vector
Values: 'on' | 'off'
Default: 'on'

Select this parameter to enable the output port.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: export
Type: character vector
Values: 'on' | 'off'
Default: 'off'

Specify the style of the block icon. The graphic option displays a graphical representation of the assertion condition on the icon. The text option displays a mathematical expression that represents the assertion condition.

Command-Line Information

Parameter: icon
Type: character vector
Values: 'graphic' | 'text'
Default: 'graphic'
