Syntax

connectors = connect(srcComponent,destComponent)
connectors = connect(srcComponent,destComponent,'Stereotype',stereotypes)
connectors = connect(srcComponent,destComponent,'Rule',rule)
connectors = connect(architecture,srcPorts,destPorts,stereotypes,rule)

Description

connectors = connect(srcComponent,destComponent) connects the unconnected output ports of srcComponent to the unconnected input ports of destComponent based on matching port names, and returns a handle to the connector.

connectors = connect(srcComponent,destComponent,'Stereotype',stereotypes) additionally applies the specified stereotype to the connector.

connectors = connect(srcComponent,destComponent,'Rule',rule) specifies a rule for establishing connections.

connectors = connect(architecture,srcPorts,destPorts,stereotypes,rule) connects pairs of ports in the architecture.

Examples

This example shows how to create and connect two components.

Create the top level architecture model.

modelName = "archModel";
arch = systemcomposer.createModel(modelName);
rootArch = get(arch,'Architecture');

Create two new components.

names = {'Component1','Component2'};
newcomponents = addComponent(rootArch,names);

Add ports to these components.

outport1 = addPort(newcomponents(1).Architecture,'testsig','out'); 
inport1 = addPort(newcomponents(2).Architecture,'testsig','in');

Connect the components.

conns = connect(newcomponents(1),newcomponents(2));

View the model.

systemcomposer.openModel(modelName);

Improve the layout.

Simulink.BlockDiagram.arrangeSystem(modelName)
