Component	Description	Features			Help file
Component	Description	supported input types	supported output types	vector support	Help file
Bus Join	Concatenates input signals (scalar or vector) into a bus.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	Bus Join
Bus Split	Splits vector input signal into scalar or specified vector outputs.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	Bus Split
Bus Selector	Selects signals from input vector, by their indexes, and outputs them as scalars or vectors.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	Bus Selector
Bus Modify	Changes one (or more) elements in the input vector and outputs a modified vector signal.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	Bus Modify
Signal Switch	Outputs one of two input signals based on the control signal value.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	Signal Switch
Multiport Signal Switch	Outputs one of multiple input signals based on the control signal value.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	Multiport Signal Switch
Data Type Conversion	Converts input signal data type.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint, (user selectable)	yes	Data Type Conversion
Boolean Join	Joins elements of the input vector into a single or multiple uint signals using weighted binary code. Input vector elements are considered as Boolean values. Output signal is vector for input vectors larger than 32	real, int, uint	uint	yes	Boolean Join
Boolean Split	Splits weighted binary coded uint input signal into a vector of Boolean valued signals. Output vector size is defined in the component properties, and it must be less than or equal to the input vector size times 32.	uint	real, int, uint	yes	Boolean Split
Rate Transition	Manages data transfer between components that operate at different execution rates.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	Rate Transition
CPU Transition	Manages data transfer between components that operate on different CPU cores.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	CPU Transition
Device Transition	Manages data transfer between components that operate on different HIL devices in a multi-device setup.	real, int, uint	real, int, uint	yes	Device Transition
HIL Flags Status	Outputs the SPC Arithmetic Overflow, Machine Arithmetic Overflow, and Dead Time Violation flag statuses of the selected HIL device.	-	real, int, uint	no	HIL Flags Status
Output Settings	Sets analog and/or digital outputs with corresponding signals in Schematic Editor.	-	-	-	Output Settings
CPU Time Slot Utilization	Displays the time slot utilization of the selected CPU core with full resolution	-	real, int, uint	no	CPU Time Slot utilization
Timestamp to Datetime	Converts a UTC timestamp into a human-readable format.	uint	uint	no	Timestamp To Datetime
