Which pins corresponds to wich digital inputs - epwm of F28379d

Hi,

i'm a beginner in using the plecs RT Box 1, so sorry for my maybe dumb question..

My aim is to simulate a physical model with the Box and to controll it with a F28379D TI Controller. Therefor i need Analog Outputs for the simulated voltages or currents and Digital Inputs for my 12 PWM signals. In my imagination, i just need the analog output- and digital input block.. am i right?

Currently i use the RT Box LaunchPad Interface, later the RT Box ControlCard Interface for the controller card.

So, what digital input should i use to read for example my epwm 1-12 from my Launch Pad? Is there some kind of documentation wich output /input number correspondends with the controllers Pins?

Thanks a lot!

You are correct for the analog output signals. For example, you can connect a voltage or current measurement to an Analog Out block.  For the PWM signals, you should use the PWM Capture component.  The PWM Capture works with any digital input pin, but oversamples the digital input to produce an averaged value over the last model time step.  The result from the PWM Capture should be used along with a hybrid switch model from the Electrical + Power Modules section of the PLECS Library. 

Refer to the RT Box demo models in the PLECS Help for an example. You may also benefit from reviewing the RT Box Tutorials on the Plexim website, particularly the "RT Box: Timing and Step-Size Selection" exercise.

The mapping is included in the documentation for each board:
