Externally controlled sources

Description of the Externally Controlled Current Source and Externally Controlled Voltage Source components in Schematic Editor

Component Not Supported: Externally controlled source components are not supported in TyphoonSim. Adding component from this group to your model will prevent you from being able to run your model in TyphoonSim. Please disable or remove any Externally Controlled Source component from your model before attempting to run your model in TyphoonSim mode.

The Externally Controlled Source components allow use of the analog inputs of a HIL device's I/O Ports to define voltage and/or current sources during model emulation. For example, these components allow for generating a voltage or current source for the model based on the output from a function generator connected to the HIL analog inputs.

Model control for gain and offset allows HIL SCADA inputs to define and change offset and gain settings for current and voltage sources during the simulation.
