Switch
A switch block allows to select one of several input signals to write to its output. The code below shows a switch with 3 inputs where the second input is selected.
Switch<3> sw; sw.switchToInput(1);
You can also query the index of the selected input with
int index = sw.getCurrentInput();
Auto Switching
It is possible to configure a switch in such a way, that if the selected input reaches a given level within a small margin the switch does switch automatically. For this purpose you have to specify a condition with
setCondition(T switchLevel, T delta, uint8_t index)
where switchlevel
is the level the switch has to reach within the margin delta
. index
is the new index of the input. As soon as the signal type of the input is no longer the default type (double
) but for instance a Vectors and Matrices you have to keep in mind that the condition for the switching has to be met for each single element of the matrix!
Before the switching can take place the switch must be armed with
arm();
The function
triggered();
queries the state of the switch function. It will return true
as soon as the auto switching happened.
The switching might lead to a change in the safety level. In order to be able to trigger a safety event you have to register such an event beforehand.
registerSafetyEvent(SafetySystem* ss, SafetyEvent* e);
