Bus-Capable Blocks

Bus-capable blocks can accept bus signals as input, produce bus signals as output, or both. Some bus-capable blocks work with nonvirtual buses, but not with virtual buses. Some bus-capable blocks have additional requirements for bus signals; see the block documentation for details.

These modeling patterns support the use of buses. See the documentation for those features for any special considerations relating to the use of buses. Subsystems, models, and S-functions support the use of buses.

Buses that contain signals of enumerated data types do not pass through a block that requires a nonzero scalar initial value (such as aUnit Delayblock). Use a structure value to initialize signals with enumerated types.

Root level bus outputs are not logged when you select theOutputconfiguration parameter. Use standard signal logging instead, as described inExport Signal Data Using Signal Logging.

Do not use signal logging for bus or arrays of buses directly from within a For Each subsystem. Either use aBus Selectorblock to select the bus element signals to log or add anOutportblock outside of the subsystem and then log that signal. For details, seeLog Signals in For Each Subsystems.
