MotoHawk:Lookup Tables Overview

MotoHawk Lookup Table Blocks

MotoHawk provides a library of lookup table blocks that provide functionality similar to the native Simulink lookup table blocks, but also allow for calibration in MotoTune. The blockset provides 1D and 2D maps, as well as adaptive tables. Pre-lookup and Interpolation tables can be used to split up the breakpoints and table data separately. Reference tables can be used to access a table defined by a data store (Data Storage Blockset) somewhere else in the model. Data for the lookup tables can be stored in Volatile or Non-Volatile storage.

1D and 2D Lookup Table Blocks

MotoHawk 1D Lookup Table

This MotoHawk™ block behaves similarly to the native Simulink Look-Up Table (1-D) block. This block performs 1-D linear interpolation of input values using the Breakpoint (x-axis) and Table Data (y-axis). End values of Table Data is used for input outside of the Breakpoint Data.

MotoHawk 2D Lookup Table

This block performs 2-D linear interpolation of input values using the Breakpoint (x) and 2-D matrix of Table data values to be searched.

Prelookup and Interpolation Blocks

The MotoHawk 1D and 2D Lookup Tables are comprised under the mask of Prelookup and Interpolation table as shown below:

MotoHawk Prelookup Table

This block is used to generate an index and interpolation fraction for use with a MotoHawk Lookup Table block.

MotoHawk Interpolation 1D

This MotoHawk™ block behaves similarly to the native Simulink Interpolation (1-D) using Prelookup block, with n=1.

This block performs a linear interpolation on an 1-D matrix, "Table Data," using precalculated indices and distance fractions provided by the PrelookUp block. End values of Table Data is used for input outside of the Breakpoint Data. This block is used with the MotoHawk Prelookup or MotoHawk Prelookup Reference block.

MotoHawk Interpolation 2D

This MotoHawk™ block behaves similarly to the native Simulink Interpolation (2-D) using Prelookup block, with n=2.

This block performs a linear interpolation on an 2-D matrix, "Table Data," using precalculated indices and distance fractions provided by the PrelookUp block. End values of Table Data is used for input outside of the Breakpoint Data. This block is used with the MotoHawk Prelookup or MotoHawk Prelookup Reference block.

Lookup Reference Blocks

The same look-up table can be used in several functions by using the Lookup Table Reference blocks (1D or 2D). Datastorage created by any other MotoHawk Data Definition may be referenced.

The reference blocks perform the same function as 'Non-reference' blocks, except they don't define any data, or create variables that can be viewed in MotoTune.

MotoHawk Prelookup Reference Block

This block has the same operation as a MotoHawk Prelookup Block, except it doesn't define any data or create anything visible from MotoTune.

MotoHawk Interpolation 1D Reference

This MotoHawk™ block performs the same operation as a MotoHawk Interpolation (1-D) block, but does not define any data or create any VarDecs visible from MotoTune.

MotoHawk Interpolation 2D Reference

This MotoHawk™ block performs the same operation as a MotoHawk Interpolation (2-D) block, but does not define any data or create any VarDecs visible from MotoTune.

Adapt Table

The MotoHawk Adapt Table block modifies the values of the 1D or 2D table at runtime. The table name references a 1-D or 2-D table defined elsewhere in the module. The "Storage and Accessibility" option of that table must be set to 'Adaptive-Volatile' or 'Adaptive-NonVolatile'.

The user can then set parameters for: Adapt Quantity: The value to be added to the Table Data of the Lookup Table surrounding the breakpoint as it is executed. If the current index is within 1/4 fraction distance between two breakpoints, then the Adapt Quantity value will be added to the closer corresponding point in table data.

Adapt Min/Max: Adapt Min and Adapt Max are the saturation values of Table Data. This is to set the limit of Table Data in case of continuous accumulation of the Adapt Quantity. Note that the Min and Max Values in the MotoHawk Lookup Table or Interpolation do not apply here since the adaptation occurs during runtime, while the Min and Max Values apply for MotoTune only
