Rule

Sub ID a

Unit Delay or Delay blocks shall be used in a discrete model or subsystem.

A Memory block shall be used in a continuous type model or subsystem.

Custom Parameter

Not Applicable

Example — Correct

A Unit Delay block is used in the discrete type model.

Example — Incorrect

A Memory block is used in the discrete type model.

Rationale

Sub ID a:

• Adherence to the rule improves readability of the model.

Verification

Model Advisor check: Check usage of Memory and Unit Delay blocks (Simulink Check)
