Description
Block Switch It is a key controlled by an external signal. If the external signal is greater than the value specified in the parameter Threshold, then the key is closed, otherwise the key is open.
Electric wrenches add circuit breaks to the model, so the choice of solver can affect the behavior of the model.
Variables
Use the parameter group Initial Targets to set the priority and initial target values for the block parameter variables before modeling. For more information, see Configuring physical blocks using target values.

Parameters
Parameters
#
Closed resistance —
closed-key resistance
Ohm | mOhm | kOhm | MOhm | GOhm
Details
The resistance of the key in the closed state. The parameter value must be greater than zero.

# Threshold — threshold value for opening and closing the key
Details
The threshold value for opening and closing the key. If the external signal is greater than this value, the key is closed, otherwise it is open.
