This tutorial introduces the basic concepts of PLECS Blockset by having the user build up a simple passive network and a buck converter circuit in a PLECS Circuit block within a Simulink model. The instructions explain how to use the component libraries to model a system in the PLECS workspace, as well as how to interconnect components and parameterize them. Then a simulation can be run and resulting schematics and waveforms are provided for comparison. A further iteration demonstrates that the PLECS environment can be directly interfaced to the Simulink one so that the complete model can be comprised of blocks in both. The user will also learn how to create a subsystem for organizing the model, implement controls for a multi-domain system, and use the Probe block to monitor component signals as an alternative to using meters and sensors.
