Gate

The gate has an input, an output and a control input. The gate, when enabled, sends the value from the input to the output for an event at the input. If it is locked, then there is no reaction. The control input can be inverted. The input and output can also act as bidirectional data point. Then the values are sent through the gate in both directions.

 

 

Data points of the component

Name

Type

function

Control Input

Input

The gate is "closed" (0) or "released" (1) via the control input.

Value I

Input / Bidirectional

Here the input signal is created. Any values are processed.

Value II

Output / Bidirectional

Here is the output of the component. Any values are processed.

Bidirectional/Unidirectional

 

Switching affects value I and value II. If bidirectional is set, the values are sent in both directions through the gate, e.g. Partition Function.

Invert Control Input

 

The input signal at the control input is inverted. 1 = closed; 0 = enabled e.g., 1 = gate is enabled by default, 0 = disabled
