To control the precision of this block, use the sample time parameter in the block dialog box use this block rather than the clock block which outputs continuous time when you need the current simulation time within a. After outputs are calculated, the simulink engine calls mdlzerocrossings to determine if a zero crossing has occurred. The compare to zero block compares an input signal to zero. Load signal data from workspace simulink mathworks. If any zero crossings are detected, the simulink software interpolates between the previous and current values of each variable that changed sign to estimate the times of the zero crossings, that is, the discontinuities. Inport 2 should be moved in so it does not cross the feedback loop lines. In this example, the saturation block generates a zerocrossing event every time it enters or exits saturation. Simulink uses a technique known as zero crossing detection to address this problem. The secondorder integrator limited block is identical to the secondorder integrator block with the exception that it defaults to limiting the states based on the specified upper and lower limits.
