Description

pict

Electrical ports are used to establish electrical connections between a PLECS circuit and a subcircuit. If you copy an Electrical Port block into the schematic of a subcircuit a terminal will be created on the subcircuit block. The name of the port block will appear as the terminal label. If you choose to hide the block name by unselecting the show button in the dialog box the terminal label will also disappear.

Terminals can be moved around the edges of the subcircuit by holding down the Shift key or by using the middle mouse button.


Note  Since you cannot make electrical connections in Simulink PLECS does not permit to place electrical port blocks into top-level circuits.
