autosar.arch.Connector

R2026b

Connection between ports in AUTOSAR architecture model

Description

An autosar.arch.Connector object represents a connection between two ports in an AUTOSAR software architecture model. Connectors define the data flow between components and compositions.

Creation

Create an autosar.arch.Connector object by using the connect function on an autosar.arch.Model or autosar.arch.Composition object. The connect function creates connectors between matching ports.

connect(archModel,sourceComp,destComp)
connect(archModel,sourcePort,destPort)
connect(composition,innerComp,[])

Access existing connectors through the Connectors property of an autosar.arch.Model or autosar.arch.Composition object.

connectors = archModel.Connectors

connectors =

  Connector with properties:

              Name: ''
    SimulinkHandle: 8.0001
            Parent: [1×1 autosar.arch.Model]
        SourcePort: [1×1 autosar.arch.CompPort]
   DestinationPort: [1×1 autosar.arch.CompPort]

Properties

Name — Name of connector

character vector | string scalar

Name of connector, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

Data Types: char | string

SimulinkHandle — Simulink line handle

Read-only: double

This property is read-only.

Simulink line handle, represented as a double.

Data Types: double

Parent — Architecture element that contains the connector

Read-only: autosar.arch.Model | autosar.arch.Composition

This property is read-only.

Architecture element that contains the connector, represented as an autosar.arch.Model or autosar.arch.Composition object.

SourcePort — Source port of connection

Read-only: autosar.arch.CompPort

This property is read-only.

Source port of the connection, represented as an autosar.arch.CompPort object.

DestinationPort — Destination port of connection

Read-only: autosar.arch.CompPort

This property is read-only.

Destination port of the connection, represented as an autosar.arch.CompPort object.

Object Functions

destroy

Remove and delete AUTOSAR architecture element

Examples

Create and Inspect Connectors Between Components

This example shows how to connect two components and inspect the resulting connector properties.

Create an AUTOSAR software architecture model with two components.

archModel = autosar.arch.createModel("ConnectorExample");
sender = addComponent(archModel, "SenderSWC");
receiver = addComponent(archModel,"ReceiverSWC");

Add matching ports to the components.

addPort(sender,"Sender","DataOut");
addPort(receiver,"Receiver","DataOut");

Connect the components.

connect(archModel,sender,receiver);

Inspect the resulting connectors.

connectors = archModel.Connectors;
connectors(1).SourcePort
connectors(1).DestinationPort

ans =

  CompPort with properties:

              Name: 'DataOut'
         Interface: []
              Kind: 'Sender'
         Connected: 1
            Parent: [1×1 autosar.arch.Component]
    SimulinkHandle: 9.0001

ans =

  CompPort with properties:

              Name: 'DataOut'
         Interface: []
              Kind: 'Receiver'
         Connected: 1
            Parent: [1×1 autosar.arch.Component]
    SimulinkHandle: 10.0001
