Thread Trigger

Call downstream function-call subsystem when selected input edge transition occurs

• Library:

• Simulink Real-Time / Async

• 

Description

When the selected input edge transition occurs, the Thread Trigger block calls the downstream Function-Call Subsystem block or Triggered Subsystem block and sets the interrupt priority of the task. The block checks for the edge transition at the block sample rate.

If the input transition occurs while the task is running, a CPU overload occurs on the target computer.

Ports

Input

T — Trigger input tested for selected transition

boolean

Detects the edge type that is selected by using the Trigger Edge parameter as 1 for detected and 0 for not detected..

Example: 0

Output

F — Function call output for task

function call

Outputs the call to the downstream function and provides the thread scheduling priority for the task

Parameters

Trigger Edge — Selects trigger edge type

Rising Edge (default) | Falling Edge | Both Edges

Selects the trigger edge type that is detected by the block input.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: edge

ISR Task Priority — Selects the ISR task priority for function

245 (high priority) (default) | 235 (medium priority) | 225 (low priority)

Selects the interrupt service routine (ISR) task priority for the function call. You can select task priority values from 254 (highest priority) to 193 (lowest priority).

The Thread Trigger block provides means to call a Function-Call Subsystem block or Triggered Subsystem block that is a separate model thread. This thread can run with higher or lower priority than other execution threads. Each rate group in the model executes as a different execution thread. For more information, see About RTOS Tasks and Priorities.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: taskpri

R2022b: Removed Thread Trigger Block Sample Time Parameter

The Sample Time parameter for the Thread Trigger block is removed. The block inherits sample time from the input signal to the block.
