I created the following class:
model TestBlock2
import L = Modelica.Electrical.Digital.Interfaces.Logic;
Modelica.Electrical.Digital.Sources.Set set(x = Modelica.Electrical.Digital.Interfaces.Logic.'0') annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {-137.421, -25}, extent = {{-10, -10}, {10, 10}}, rotation = 0)));
Modelica.Electrical.Digital.Sources.Clock clock(startTime = 0, period = 1, width = 50) annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {-137.421, 25}, extent = {{-10, -10}, {10, 10}}, rotation = 0)));
Modelica.Electrical.Digital.Sources.Table table(x = {L.'0', L.'1', L.'0'}, t = {0, 0.5, 3.5}, y0 = L.'0') annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {-137.691, 70}, extent = {{-10, -10}, {10, 10}}, rotation = 0)));
Modelica.Electrical.Digital.Registers.DFFREGSRH dFFREGSRH annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {-32.668, 20}, extent = {{-10, -10}, {10, 10}}, rotation = 0)));
Modelica.Electrical.Digital.Gates.InvGate invGate annotation(Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {5, 32.02}, extent = {{-10, -10}, {10, 10}}, rotation = 0)));
equation
connect(invGate.y, dFFREGSRH.dataIn[1]) annotation(Line(visible = true, origin = {-13.964, 36.492}, points = {{28.964, -4.473}, {38.964, -4.473}, {38.964, 16.965}, {-39.493, 16.965}, {-39.493, -12.492}, {-27.904, -12.492}}, color = {127, 0, 127}));
connect(dFFREGSRH.dataOut[1], invGate.x) annotation(Line(visible = true, origin = {-10.117, 28.01}, points = {{-13.351, -4.01}, {2.117, -4.01}, {2.117, 4.01}, {9.117000000000001, 4.01}}, color = {127, 0, 127}));
connect(table.y, dFFREGSRH.set) annotation(Line(visible = true, origin = {-67.39, 49}, points = {{-60.302, 21}, {17.39, 21}, {17.39, -21}, {25.522, -21}}, color = {127, 0, 127}));
connect(set.y, dFFREGSRH.reset) annotation(Line(visible = true, origin = {-79.822, -5.5}, points = {{-47.599, -19.5}, {4.822, -19.5}, {4.822, 19.5}, {37.954, 19.5}}, color = {127, 0, 127}));
connect(clock.y, dFFREGSRH.clock) annotation(Line(visible = true, origin = {-77.322, 21.5}, points = {{-50.099, 3.5}, {7.322, 3.5}, {7.322, -3.5}, {35.454, -3.5}}, color = {127, 0, 127}));
annotation(Diagram(coordinateSystem(extent = {{-148.5, -105}, {148.5, 105}}, preserveAspectRatio = true, initialScale = 0.1, grid = {5, 5})));
end TestBlock2;
which should represent an toggling flip-flop. I created this simple test case while trying to do something a bit more complex and in debugging it I noticed that something was not right.
The above test case should toggle at one half the clock rate but instead the output remains at a solid 0.0 <=> ‘Unitialized’ as shown in the screen shot below:
Being unable to figure out what was wrong, I entered the same circuit in another simulator, which I will leave unnamed, and lo and behold … it works:
My question is rather simple. It seems that either my installation is corrupted in some complicated way or there are bugs in the library or the usage of these blocks within SystemModeler needs to satisfy some undocumented characteristics. Can you please be of assistance?
