INTEGRAL_m
Integration
Block Screenshot
Description
This block is an integrator. The output y is the integral of the input
u at the current time step t.
Where y0 is an initial condition and t0 is its corresponding time.
Dialog box
The parameter dialog box allows you to define:
- The initial condition with or without saturation limit.
- The upper and lower limits on the integral.
The dialog box also allows you to add an event port to the block in
order to reset its state to a specified initial condition.
If ”re-initialization” is selected the following yields:
- The value to be integrated shall be connected to the integral block
port number 1. (the port in the upper left corner of the integral
block)
- The value that the integrator shall initate to, at each trigger
signal on the redly marked trigger port, shall be connected to the
integral block port number 2. (the port in the lower left corner of
the integral block).
- Initial Condition A vector/scalar initial conditions. With that
parameter, one can define the datatype of the input/output. It can be
a real or a complex type. Properties : Type ‘mat’ of size [-1,-1].
- With re-initialization To reset its state to the specified
initial condition based on an external signal select 1 .
Properties : Type ‘vec’ of size 1.
- With saturation If selected, limits the states to a value
between the Lower saturation limit and Upper saturation limit
parameters. Properties : Type ‘vec’ of size 1.
- Upper limit The upper limit for the integral. Properties : Type
‘mat’ of size [-1,-1].
- Lower limit The lower limit for the integral. Properties : Type
‘mat’ of size [-1,-1].

Example 1
This sample model demonstrates how to use the integrator’s state port.
The re-initialization parameter is set to 1, the Upper limit to 1 and
the lower limit to -1.
