Input¶

This chapter describes the Input interface. It provides an interface to connect a signal to an input. The following rules apply for connecting a signal to an input:

The input must be configurable. Inputs are configurable unless mentioned otherwise.
The signal must be in the set of allowed signals for the input. This is not restricted unless mentioned otherwise.
The Value signal of an input cannot be connected to that same input.

Routing¶

The common routing for an input is given in Input routing.

Input routing¶

Additional or fewer features may be available for specific inputs. E.g. some inputs do not support connecting another signal, others do not support saturation.

Signals¶

Common signals that can be available for inputs are described in the following table:

Name	Data type	R/W	Description
Value	<input data type>	R	Value of the input.
DisconnectedValue	input data type	R(W)	Value of the input when it is not connected to a signal.
IsConnected	Bool	R	Indicates whether the input is connected to a signal.
LowerSaturation	input data type	R(W)	Lower saturation limit applied to the value of the input.
UpperSaturation	input data type	R(W)	Upper saturation limit applied to the value of the input.

Data conversion¶

When a signal has a different data type than the input, its value is converted to the data type of the input using standard type casting. The exact behavior is therefore platform and compiler specific.
