Bus Creator
Forms a bus from signals of different types.

Description
The Bus Creator block combines a set of input elements into a bus. All types of elements can be connected to the input ports, including other buses. The bus elements can be accessed using the block Bus Selector.
The output port of the Bus Creator block can only be connected to the input port of the block Bus Selector |
Bus elements must have unique names. By default, each bus element inherits the name of the element connected to the block Bus Creator. If duplicate names are present, the Bus Creator block adds the port number to all input element names. For elements that have no names, the Bus Creator block generates names of the form signaln
, where n
is the port number connected to the element. You can refer to items by name when searching for their sources or selecting items to connect to other blocks.
