Description

The Connection Port block transfers a physical connection or signal across subsystem boundaries. Physical connections include Simscape™ conserving connections and Simscape Multibody™ frame connections, among others. This block is similar in function to the Inport and Outport blocks in the Simulink^® Ports & Subsystems library.

A subsystem needs a Connection Port block for each physical connection line that crosses its boundary. You can manually place a Connection Port block inside a subsystem, or Simulink can automatically insert a Connection Port block when you create a subsystem within an existing network.

For more information, consult the product-specific block reference page, based on the library that you are using to access the block.

Parameters

Port number

Labels the subsystem connector port that this block creates. Each connector port requires a unique number as a label. The default value for the first port is 1.

Port location on parent subsystem

Choose which side of the parent subsystem block the port is located. The choices are Left or Right. The default choice is Left.
