Bus-Capable Blocks
Bus-capable blocks can accept buses as input, produce buses as output, or both. Some bus-capable blocks work with nonvirtual buses, but not with virtual buses. Some bus-capable blocks have additional requirements for buses; see the block documentation for details.

Buses that contain signals of enumerated data types do not pass through a block that requires a nonzero scalar initial value (such as a Unit Delay block). Use a structure value to initialize signals with enumerated types.
Root level bus outputs are not logged when you select the Output configuration parameter. Use standard signal logging instead, as described in Export Signal Data Using Signal Logging.
Do not use signal logging for bus or arrays of buses directly from within a For Each subsystem. Either use a Bus Selector block to select the bus element signals to log or add an Outport block outside of the subsystem and then log that signal. For details, see Log Signals in For Each Subsystems.
