Description

The PS Floor block rounds the input physical signal toward negative infinity, that is, to the nearest integer smaller than or equal to the input value:

$$O=floor(I)$$

where

I	Physical signal at the input port
O	Physical signal at the output port

Both the input and the output are physical signals. Untyped physical ports facilitate the signal size propagation. However, arguments passed to rounding functions (such as floor) must be dimensionless. Therefore, the input signal must have the unit of 1 (unitless), and the output signal is also unitless.

Ports

Input

I — Input physical signal, untyped

physical signal

Input physical signal. Arguments passed to rounding functions (such as floor) must be dimensionless. Therefore, the input signal does not have to be a scalar but must have the unit of 1 (unitless).

The port name is not visible in the block icon, but you can see this name in the underlying source file by clicking the Source code link in the Description tab of the block dialog box.

Programmatic Use

Port: I

Output

O — Output physical signal, untyped

physical signal

Output physical signal.

The port name is not visible in the block icon, but you can see this name in the underlying source file by clicking the Source code link in the Description tab of the block dialog box.

Programmatic Use

Port: O

Programmatic Use: Add Block

To add the block programmatically, use the add_block function with one of these library block paths as the source.

"fl_lib/Physical Signals/Nonlinear Operators/PS Floor"

Example: add_block("fl_lib/Physical Signals/Nonlinear Operators/PS Floor","myModel/myBlock",MakeNameUnique="on")

For information about programmatic access to individual block parameters, see the Programmatic Use section of parameter descriptions on this page.

Version History

Introduced in R2009a

R2019a: Unit Propagation

Prior to R2019a, this block did not propagate physical units.

If your model contains legacy blocks without unit propagation, use the Upgrade Advisor to upgrade your blocks to the latest version. For more information, see Upgrading Models with Legacy Physical Signal Blocks.
