Description

The MMF Sensor block represents an ideal magnetomotive force (mmf) sensor, that is, a device that converts the mmf measured between any magnetic connections into a physical signal proportional to the mmf.

Connections N and S are conserving magnetic ports through which the sensor is connected to the circuit. The physical signal port outputs the value of the mmf.

Use the N and S ports to connect the sensor in parallel with the block (or several blocks) where you want to measure the mmf. The physical signal port outputs the value of the mmf. Use a PS-Simulink Converter block to connect this port to Simulink® blocks, such as Scope or Display.

Ports

Output

Physical signal output port for the mmf measurement.

The port name is not visible in the block icon, but you can see this name in the underlying source file by clicking the Source code link in the Description tab of the block dialog box.

Programmatic Use

Port: MMF

Conserving

expand all

Magnetic conserving port associated with the sensor north terminal.

Programmatic Use

Port: N

Magnetic conserving port associated with the sensor south terminal.

Programmatic Use

Port: S

Programmatic Use: Add Block

To add the block programmatically, use the add_block function with one of these library block paths as the source.

"fl_lib/Magnetic/Magnetic Sensors/MMF Sensor"

Example: add_block("fl_lib/Magnetic/Magnetic Sensors/MMF Sensor","myModel/myBlock",MakeNameUnique="on")

For information about programmatic access to individual block parameters, see the Programmatic Use section of parameter descriptions on this page.
